TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'toHaveReturnedFalseFromThen'

[galenp]

Hello

I am attempting to write coffeescript protractor e2e tests using jasmine-given.

Things seem to work for the most part, the tests run and the form is filled in and submitted but the Then statement fails with an error. It seems to fail regardless of my test...

login_spec.coffee

describe 'login spec', ->
  LoginView = require('./views/view-login.js')
  view = new LoginView();

  describe 'when a user logs in with correct details', ->
    Given -> view.fillEmail("test@test.com")
    Given -> view.fillPassword()
    When -> view.login()
    Then -> expect(view.currentUserName).toBeDefined()

top of protractor.conf

require('coffee-script/register');
require('jasmine-given');

And then it's a standard protractor conf.

Results

Failures:

  1) login spec when a user logs in with correct details then expect(view.currentUserName).toBeDefined()
   Message:
     TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'toHaveReturnedFalseFromThen'

Finished in 3.663 seconds
1 test, 1 assertion, 1 failure

I don't understand the error or what it could relate to. I've checked that toHaveReturnedFalseFromThen is part of jasmine-given.

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the detailed issue. I haven't used protractor in over a year, but I suspect this might be due to version problems. First, make sure you're running the very latest jasmine-given.

Next, if you could share a minimal sample project that'd be really fantastic for helping me debug. Cheers!

Test project setup

Instead of attaching a project I'll give you the full npm instructions to set up a test.

Assuming you are on a desktop (not VM) linux installation this should work and get selenium going.

mkdir ~/jasmine-given-test
cd ~/jasmine-given-test
npm install protractor jasmine-given --save-dev
./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update
./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager start

• This should install protractor + jasmine-given and get selenium to install chromedriver.
• Last command starts selenium up to accept connections on 4444.
• If you're not using Linux or using Linux in a VM this is still possible however the commands might be different. I'm using windows personally and installing protractor with npm -g worked best. So the variation for me is to use the global webdriver-manager instead of a the local one.

---

So you should have selenium running now ... so create another terminal session/console and do:

cd ~/jasmine-given-test
mkdir test
mkdir test/e2e
nano protractor.js

protractor.js

// An example configuration file.
require('coffee-script/register');
require('jasmine-given');

exports.config = {
  // The address of a running selenium server.
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',

  // Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
  },

  // Spec patterns are relative to the current working directly when
  // protractor is called.
  specs: [
        'test/e2e/*_spec.{js,coffee}'
    ],

  baseUrl: 'http://hello-angularjs.appspot.com/helloworld',

  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    onComplete: function () {},
    isVerbose: false,
    showColors: true,
    includeStackTrace: false,
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
  }
};

Save and Exit

nano test/e2e/test_spec.coffee

test_spec.coffee

describe 'test', ->
  describe 'connect to test site', ->
    Given -> browser.get("/")
    Then -> expect(1).toBe 1

Save and Exit

./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor ./protractor.js

• this should run protractor (if you're using windows use global protractor)
• connect to the sample site via selenium
• execute the coffee script test which is using the jasmine-given
• expected result is the test should pass because 1 = 1
• actual result is the error

 TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'toHaveReturnedFalseFromThen'

getting the same error with newest version 2.6.2, coffescript 1.7.1 and protractor 2.0.0

Did you find a solution, @galenp?

Thanks a lot! Marcel
