Hi Guys,

I love the plugin it does most of what I want to do, but there is one thing that I think would be really helpful. In my tests, I typically have an action followed by a verification. For example, enter text into an input box then verify (expect) the value to be in the textbox.

The plugin seems to log only the spec. If I write a verification step in my tests, the logging shows a pass even if my verification step fails. I have tried several methods to get the verification step to log, but am not able to.

In my selenium tests, I wrote my own logging module which would log every step and every verification so that I could report exactly what the test is doing. I would like to do the same in protractor using this plugin if possible.

Here is an example of a test step in my page object file:

async enterGroupName(groupName?){
try{
await UserActions.sendKeysByText(this.groupNameTextBox, groupName? groupName : groupData.createGroupData.groupName);
await this.verifyValue(this.groupNameTextBox,groupData.createGroupData.groupName);
}
catch(e){
expect(e).toBeNull();
console.log(e);
}
}

And here is my verify method:

async verifyValue(locator, text: any){
describe(this.newMethod(),() => {
it('Entered Text should match actual text', () => {
return Promise.resolve(locator.getAttribute('value')).then(function(locatorText){
expect(locatorText).toEqual(text);
});
});
});
}

private newMethod(): string {
    return 'ExperimentsComponent';
}
