There are several ways you could approach it:
- you could, like you say, expose the map to the global scope, then make Protractor get hold of it via ExecuteScript
- you could wrap the map in an Angular service, then get hold of that service in the acceptance test using a combination of ExecuteScript and a technique similar to the one described here
What version of Angular are you using? If you could put together a minimal example on github it would be easier for myself or other members of the Serenity/JS community to propose an approach.
Best, Jan

I have an application using Leafletjs for mapping and I am struggling with how to test interactions with the map. Eg a mouse hovering over a particular map position should create a pop up; clicks on map tools will change the map content. These are easily emulated by using setters (for action) and getters (for questions) on an instance of an L.Map object.
What I am baffled with though, is that the map variable ( map = L.Map(etc) ) is buried within am angular controller. It seems I would have to expose it to global scope to use it within a serentityjs test. I think I must be missing something very obvious here and surely it must be a common enough requirement for angular developers using serentityjs.
