Develop Reference

Getting "ReferenceError: browser is not defined" in Appium framework for tvOS - how to define the browser?

I have a question about the use of an "expect().toExist() command (part of the "expect-webdriverio" package). I am attempting to use it in an appium test suite run on the mocha framework - we are testing an application on tvOS (not on any web browser) and I am getting the following error:
ReferenceError: browser is not defined
This is happening in a framework in which the "browser" is actually the "client". We use the word "client" because we are not testing anything web-based. So, this is the test script:
await client.pause(5000); //wait for app install and loading screen
const thisButton = await browser.$("~CONTINUE");
//console.log(client.capabilities);
console.log(thisButton);//this is logged in detail
await expect(thisButton).toExist();//this is where we get the error
await thisButton.click();//this works perfectly once we get to it.
await client.pause(10000);
... and here's what we see when I tell it to log thisButton:
Element {
sessionId: '57f34ce7-968c-47da-b2f3-42cea8e31090',
elementId: '0F000000-0000-0000-4C58-010000000000',

},
emit: [Function: bound ],
isReactElement: false,
addCommand: [Function (anonymous)],

}
The capabilities used are contained in the "caps.js" file - contents are as follows:
const tvosCaps = {
platformName: "tvOS",
automationName: "XCUITest",
deviceName: process.env.IOS_DEVICE_NAME || "Apple TV",
platformVersion: process.env.IOS_PLATFORM_VERSION || "15.4",
app: undefined, //to be defined in test file
};
const serverConfig = {
path: "/wd/hub",
host: process.env.APPIUM_HOST || "localhost",
port: process.env.APPIUM_PORT || 4723,
logLevel: "info",
};
const tvosOptions = Object.assign(
{
capabilities: tvosCaps,
},
serverConfig
);
module.exports = {
tvosOptions,
};
There is a wdio.conf.js file, but it has value "chrome" for browserName, and we're not using chrome at all for this. I have it set up to use appium as a service - I'm not sure how to include it in the configuration. Maybe through package.json?
Any idea as to how to get past this ReferenceError?

How to include javascript library in grunt

I am working on an existing Ionic project. I am trying to include the Ionic's push notification feature within this project. When I try to run grunt command I get following error
Running "jsbeautifier:files" (jsbeautifier) task
Beautified 53 files, changed 0 files...OK
Running "jshint:files" (jshint) task
./www/js/app.js
18 | var push = new Ionic.Push({
^ 'Ionic' is not defined.
So looks like the ionic JS file under lib/ionic-platform-web-client/dist/ionic.io.bundle.min.js is not getting loaded in grunt. How to fix this? I am new to grunt and ionic, so please help me out. I didn't find any solution in other similar questions.
BTW, the app works fine in browser.
gruntfile.js jshint
jshint: {
options: {
curly: true,
eqeqeq: true,
eqnull: true,
browser: true,
strict: false,
globalstrict: false,
node: true,
undef: true,
globals: {
angular: true,
cordova: true,
app: true,
StatusBar: true,
CameraPopoverOptions: true,
ionic: true,
Camera: true
},
},
files: {
src: ["*.js", "./www/js/*.js", "./www/components/**/*.js", "!*.min.js", "!./www/**/*.min.js", "!./www/**/**/*.min.js"]
}
},

globals: {
angular: true,
cordova: true,
app: true,
StatusBar: true,
CameraPopoverOptions: true,
Ionic: true,
Camera: true
}
Ionic should have capital I.

Protractor not testing, WebDriver fails after 1 minute

I'm really new to Protractor and everything NodeJS, and i'm trying to get started using Protractor with AngularJS.
I used the Yeoman generator-gulp-angular to generate a project and all is well, but when i try to protractor protractor.conf.js (i've installed Java and Chromium) the following happens:
vagrant#server:/var/www/html/project/$ protractor protractor.conf.js

It hangs here for 1 minute, and then spurts out the following:

[launcher] Process exited with error code 1
And exits.
This is my protractory.conf.js:
'use strict';
var paths = require('./.yo-rc.json')['generator-gulp-angular'].props.paths;
exports.config = {
node_modules/protractor/config.json
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'chrome'
},
specs: [paths.e2e + '/**/*.js'],
jasmineNodeOpts: {
showColors: true,
defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
}
};
I hope someone can help me out!
EDIT
I've added my (single) test code to provide more insight:
'use strict';
describe('The main view', function () {
var page;
beforeEach(function () {
browser.get('http://localhost:3000/index.html');
page = require('./main.po');
});
it('Should display the homepage', function() {
expect(page.header.getText()).toContain("Home");
});
});
And my Page Object file:
'use strict';
var MainPage = function() {
this.header = element(by.tagName('header'));
};
module.exports = new MainPage();

Grunt: Running tasks after "jasmine_node"

I'm implementing my own XML/HTML-reporting tool for test-automation using grunt, jasmine_node and some other tools. Unfortunately I need to run some tasks right after jasmine_node --> in fact I only use jasmine_node for creating junit xml reports :D
The problem is: When jasmine is done with testing, it is exiting the task chain (whether I use forceexit or not). But I need the following tasks to be executed.
See below my config:
jasmine_node: {
options: {
forceExit: true,
match: '.',
matchall: false,
extensions: 'js',
specNameMatcher: 'spec',
includeStackTrace: false,
jUnit: {
report: true,
savePath : "test-automation/test-xml/",
useDotNotation: true,
consolidate: true
}
},
all: ['test-automation/test-specs/']
},
And here comes the chain:
grunt.registerTask('test', ['jasmine_node', 'junit_xml_merge', 'open', 'connect']);
What am I doing wrong here?
