Usually, I used to run from command line (protractor config.js). I used protractor and java script.

PLS LET ME KNOW STEPS TO ACHIEVE RUNNING FROM JENKINS

To run from Jenkins , I created a batch file run.bat containing (protractor config.js).

JENKINS:

New project ->config system -> Execute window batch command (run.bat)

ERROR:
I received following error after running my job-

  • Have you setup the globally installed npm modules in the environment variable? For example, C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm in the Path environment variable in the 'System Variables' section. Jenkins is not able to identify your globally installed protractor module.

Currently in Jenkins workspace folder is not set , so it is running and trying to search project folders in temp file.First set the workspace folder for the job.

Also make sure 'Protractor' as a npm module is installed on the machine where execution is being performed.

1). First move to the project folder.

    cd C:\Project_RootFolder_Path

2).Install it globally.

npm install -g protractor

I would recommend to run in a more abstracted way using Gulp task.

Also if you are just calling protractor conf.js in your .bat file, you can directly put that line in 'Execute windows batch command' section in Jenkins.
