E2E Karma tests click() do not work for links

[henrysxie]

After upgrading from beta-1 to beta-4, all my E2E tests which use clicks break. Interestingly, it seems to work for button elements, but not for anchor elements. For example:

element('.class-on-some-button-element').click(); works as expected
element('.class-on-some-anchor-element').click(); does not reflect click at all

Is there a new click handler or something?

I'd really like to upgrade Ionic but this is holding me back.

Is anyone having the same problem? I think the breakage starts with ionic beta-2

Hey @xie1989 ,

this makes sense. We re-did the click detection system in beta.2.

I'll look at this on Monday. I have some ideas to fix this.

[henrysxie]

Sounds good. Thanks, @ajoslin!

[henrysxie]

Any update here, @ajoslin?

[ajoslin]

Apologies, forgot about this yesterday.

Just pushed a small addition to disable ionic tap during e2e tests, can you try it out? The nightly build will have the fix within about 20 minutes from this comment.

[henrysxie]

Yup, this works. Thanks so much, @ajoslin!

[henrysxie]

Actually, I think my celebration was premature. It still only works for button clicks but not clicks on anchor elements for some reason.

[ajoslin]

Hmm.. what browser/device are you running e2e tests in?

[henrysxie]

I put a debugger in the code and ran my e2e tests. Interestingly, angular.scenario was still undefined for me. If I force the if condition to fail, my tests pass. So I'm trying to figure out what the appropriate if condition should be for knowing whether you're in an e2e test.

[henrysxie]

I use Karma v0.10.8 and Chrome 34.0.1847 (Mac OS X 10.9.2)

[ajoslin]

Are you including angular-scenario.js?

[henrysxie]

No, just using the ng-scenario framework had worked for me before. Here's my current karma config file:

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    basePath : '../',
      files : [
        'test/e2e/**.js',
      ],
      urlRoot: '/_karma_/',
      frameworks: ['ng-scenario'],
      autoWatch : false,
      browsers : ['Chrome'],
      singleRun : false,
      proxies : {
        '/': 'http://localhost:5000/'
      }
  });
};

Am I supposed to load the angular-scenario.js file manually somewhere?
