Selenide or Protractor for angular applications?

[Satish]

Hello,

We are building an automation framework from the scratch for application built on angular JS and angular 8. 

Selenide has lot of good features. 

Any thoughts or comments on which framework might work best - Selenide or Protractor ?

From my side, 

I can claim that Selenide definitely works well with Angular applications.

Hi Satish,

There are a few factors you have to consider while choosing the automation tool. The most important being the language expertise, Selenide works with Java while Protractor with Javascript and for Javascript the learning curve can be steep for an engineer with Java background. Another aspect is that debugging with Protractor can be tricky and there are some issues with respect to running the tests on Firefox especially, tests that use methods from Action library.

I would suggest you to do a POC on both tools and then decide. If you need any help with Protractor, feel free to reach out to me.

Thanks

Considering the  language expertise argument, There is a number of fully functional Protractor  ports (supporting full set of API

in Java( biggest number of alternatives, i am the author of one of those and contributor to one other), C# and Python (at the end, the Protracror is nothing but a fancy pre-loaded javascript lib injected into the page under test).

These ports allow one stay with his her language IDE and support tools of choice  (referring to testng/ junit for Java,  mstest or nunit for  .net etc. etc.

Please let me know if you need assistance finding the project(s) in github.
