Angular-cli: ng e2e dont execute with PhantomJS

[fonkei]

Hi im trying to execute e2e tests with PhantomJS using ng e2e in an created angular-cli project (ng new e2e-test).

The tests fail with a message:
_Failed: Angular could not be found on the page http://localhost:49152/.If this is not an Angular application, you may need to turn off waiting for Angular. Please see https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/timeouts.md#waiting-for-angular-on-page-load_

With chrome the tests are working fine.

Repro steps.

Commands run:

1. run npm i phantomjs
2. update webdriver: node_modules\.bin\webdriver-manager update
3. configure protractor.conf.json (see below)
4. run ng e2e

protractor.conf.json:

// Protractor configuration file, see link for more information
// https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/lib/config.ts

const { SpecReporter } = require('jasmine-spec-reporter');

exports.config = {
  allScriptsTimeout: 11000,
  specs: [
    './e2e/**/*.e2e-spec.ts'
  ],
  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'phantomjs',
    'phantomjs.binary.path': require('phantomjs').path
  },
  //directConnect: true,
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4200/',
  framework: 'jasmine',
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    showColors: true,
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000,
    print: function() {}
  },
  beforeLaunch: function() {
    require('ts-node').register({
      project: 'e2e/tsconfig.e2e.json'
    });
  },
  onPrepare() {
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({ spec: { displayStacktrace: true } }));
  }
};

The log given by the failure.

With Chrome:

Desired functionality.

I would like that e2e can be executed also with phantomJS.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

Nothing special the project is created with angular-cli version 1.0.0-rc.2. The test is from the example inside the project.

Overall we don't recommend or test using PhantomJS. There are many things that can go wrong depending on your app, environment and setup - especially for e2e tests.

That seems like a harsh response. That's like saying "we don't recommend or test using Firefox. There are many things that can go wrong depending on your app, environment and setup"
