Simplify your Protractor tests using Generator functions
Writing protractor tests can be quite difficult, because of all the asynchronous calls you have to deal with. Even promise-chaining does not help when your tests become longer and more complex. With Javascript generator functions it is possible to simplify your tests.
Let’s say we have a todo-app created in AngularJS with two pages: a page with a list of todos and a page where a user can create a todo-item. We have two page objects created that can communicate with the pages in our Protractor tests. This is an example of an actual testcase with the use of promise chaining:
As you can see, the testcode is much easier to understand when the generator method is used.
