[SOLVED] Protractor click not working in IE, but works in chrome

Protractor click not working in IE, but works in chrome

i have some div that looks like this

<div class="someClassyStuff" on-tap="foo(param)"> Text </div>

within protractor we search and find the div element, check that the text matches our expectations, then call click() on that element. The test works fine in Chrome, but in IE it's as if no click happens.. breaking the test.

Does IE 11 support on-tap?

I've tried changing to ng-click="foo(param)" but with no effect.

Solution

I solved this problem with these capabilities:

exports.config = {
    capabilities: {
        'browserName': 'internet explorer',
        'version': 11,
        'nativeEvents': false,
        'unexpectedAlertBehaviour': 'accept',
        'ignoreProtectedModeSettings': true,
        'enablePersistentHover': true,
        'disable-popup-blocking': true
    }
};

You can use the same in your browserstack setup:

exports.config = {
    capabilities: {
        'browser' : 'ie',
        'browserName': '',
        'browser_version' : '11',
        'os' : 'Windows',
        'os_version' : '7',
        'browserstack.user': 'XXX',
        'browserstack.key': 'XXX',
        'version': 11,
        'nativeEvents': false,
        'unexpectedAlertBehaviour': 'accept',
        'ignoreProtectedModeSettings': true,
        'enablePersistentHover': true,
        'disable-popup-blocking': true
    }
};
