I would like to test a filtering function in my angularJS app.
In fact when I click on the filter the number of search results displayed on the page should decrease
Here is is my code so far :

    element(by.id('foundNumber')).getText().then (function(text){console.log(text); })

    element(by.repeater('term in facets.uproctype').row(0)).click ()

    element(by.id('foundNumber')).getText().then (function(text){console.log(text); })

And here is my console log :

Using the selenium server at http://localhost:4444/wd/hub

6209

6195

....

I don't know how can I compare theses two values in an expect line as I can't use them inside their function.
Any help?

Thanks
Zied

I believe you would have to nest your then functions to ensure the original value is available.

element(by.id('foundNumber')).getText().then( function(original_text) {



  element(by.repeater('term in facets.uproctype').row(0)).click ();



  element(by.id('foundNumber')).getText().then( function(new_text){

    expect(original_text).not.toBe(new_text);

  });



});
