Protractor e2e test failures not failing build

Feedback & Bug Reports
1

We have circle ci properly running our single page app. We have unit tests passing and failing while properly passing or failing the build. But with out protractor e2e tests the build will always pass regardless of wether or not the build passes.

Does any one know how to fix this?

How are your Protractor tests being run? May we see your .circleci/config.yml file?

I would expect that this is a Unix command that returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure, so make sure you don’t have any additional commands that would cause the line to return 0.

Hi Thanks for the response!

I figured it out - in my protractor.conf.js file, in the afterLaunch method I had forgotten the resolve() call inside the returned promise.

And since the resolve() was missing, it wouldn’t actually return any thing since the promise was un-resolved or rejected
