A Complete Protractor Travis CI Solution for Angular E2E Testing

TL;DR: Example at https://github.com/kendaleiv/angular-testing.

---

Angular uses Protractor for end-to-end (e2e) testing. Protractor performs browser automation tasks using a running copy of your Angular application.

Configure the project

With continuous integration Angular builds, you generally want to run the linter, tests, and e2e tests (if you have these items).

Note: If npm test is setup as a continuous test runner, you’ll want to create a test:once script or similar. If you’re using the Angular CLI, you could use something like "test:once": "ng test --watch=false".

Next, assuming npm run lint and npm run test:once are setup, add "ci": "npm run lint && npm run test:once && npm run e2e" to your package.json scripts. You probably want to run it with npm run ci at this point to make sure it works.

Add Travis CI configuration

Add the following .travis.yml file to your repository root (this expects Google Chrome to be used for e2e tests).

sudo: required
dist: trusty
addons:
  apt:
    sources:
      - google-chrome
    packages:
      - google-chrome-stable
language: node_js
node_js:
  - 6
  - 7
before_script:
  - export DISPLAY=:99.0
  - sh -e /etc/init.d/xvfb start
install:
  - npm install
script:
  - npm run ci

Now, try it out!
