## About
Protractor-CLI(formerly Cliptor.js) is an interactive command line interface which helps in setting up hassle free protractor projects. It takes user's inputs for generating protractor config files and also downloads the dependencies needed for writing e2e tests.
### What protractor-cli is trying to solve?
Since protractor supports multiple frameworks and has many functionalities associated with them , users face it quite challenging to know the config options and experience a hard time to choose the right library to use in their e2e projects.
This project focuses primarily to solve these issues by generating config files based on user's input and downloads the respective dependencies automatically.
## To Get Started
#### Pre-requisites
1.NodeJS installed globally in the system.
https://nodejs.org/en/download/
## Installation
Let's start by installing protractor-cli globally with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/).
```sh
$ npm install --global protractor-cli
```
## Commands
A global binary **cliptor** will be installed, currently it supports two primary commands - **config** & **install** with no arguments.
`cliptor --help` will show these list commands. `cliptor --version` will show the current version of cliptor.
### config
```sh
$ cliptor config
```
Starts protractor's interactive cli, generates config files & downloads protractor related dependencies!
### install
```sh
$ cliptor install
```
This installs protractor & webdriver-manager globally, it also updates webdriver-manager which downloads **chrome**, **firefox** & **internet explorer** drivers. One can skip this step and use the `cliptor config` command if they want to run selenium server in other ways!
## Library Support
Protractor-CLI supports all the major libraries and frameworks that **Protractor** currently supports, let us have a look-
### Test Frameworks
Jasmine being the default framework. Mocha & Cucumber have good support as well!
### Transpilers
Since this project has been entirely written using [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/). You would find extensive support for it. Protractor also has recently migrated to typescript.
You could use the typescript features by simply selecting your specific framework & transpiler option provided by protractor-cli.
Jasmine being the default framework , protractor-cli asks whether you would want to use typescript as a transpiler which then installs **typescript**, **jasmine types** and also generates **tsconfig.json** automatically!
[Coffee-Script](http://coffeescript.org/) support has also been provided with **mocha** & **cucumber** frameworks. You could write your scripts using coffee-script and the above frameworks will auto-compile them. The best part is you don't have to do it manaully as protractor-cli does it for you!
### Browser Configuration
Protractor-CLI supports all three major browser configuration -
### Test Environments
* **Local Machine** - It is your local test development environment
* **Cloud Service** - If you want to develop and maintain your test scripts in cloud services like - **Sauce Labs** & **BrowserStack**.
* **Remote Machine** - If you know the address of a remote machine where selenium server resides you could use this environment configuration.
### Logging
Protractor has 4 types of logging mechanism -
* **info** (default)
* **warn**
* **debug**
* **error**
One could refer this [StackOverFlow link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2031163/when-to-use-the-different-log-levels) to understand what they are and when to use them. Normally you would have to configure these in your config file manually but now protractor-cli does it for you.
### Reports
