I'm trying to write a simple e2e test for the authentication we use in our project, Authentication is based on a json web token which is set into window.localStorage.satellizer_token .
To set it i use the code below, but for what i see it doesn't really set the real localStorage property of the window object.
describe('login', function () {
it('should set the satellizer token and be allowed to get panel', function () {
browser.driver.get('http://example.com/');
browser.driver.executeScript(function () {
return window.localStorage;
}).then(function (localStorage) {
expect(localStorage.satellizer_token).toBe(undefined);
localStorage.satellizer_token = "eyJ0fdaccKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6IjE3MjUzIiwiaWF0IjoxNDM0Mzc1NjU3LCJleHAiOjE0NjU5Mjk2NTd9.VbhdWQ_gOb7X8pmOGLDjBKURxcaWQlIXQGvLRansQCphk";
expect(localStorage.satellizer_token).toBe("eyJ0fdaccKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6IjE3MjUzIiwiaWF0IjoxNDM0Mzc1NjU3LCJleHAiOjE0NjU5Mjk2NTd9.VbhdWQ_gOb7X8pmOGLDjBKURxcaWQlIXQGvLRansQCphk");
browser.driver.get('http://example.com/panel');
expect(browser.driver.getTitle()).toEqual('http://example.com/panel');
expect(browser.driver.getCurrentUrl()).toEqual('http://example.com/panel');
});
});
});
I know there is already something similar here and here but all the examples i can find are about access-only, i need also to modify window properties.
What is the correct way to interact with the window object in protractor tests?
