Protractor ignoreSynchronization issue

Question

I am developing the e2e test suite for one of my applications. We have a sso that is a non angular site, our site is an angular site. in the start of my test i make a call to SSO settings:

 browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;        
 browser.get(browser.baseUrl + '/agoda/home?mock=mock-jax);

I am able to log on sucessfully and it redirects to my application which is an angular site. I set browser.ignoreSynchronization = false; as soon as i redirect to my application and its loaded. After this nothing works.

I try to read following:

var books= element.all(by.repeater('book in books'));
console.log(licenses.count());

results into

{ ptor_:
   { controlFlow: [Function],
     schedule: [Function],
     setFileDetector: [Function],
     getSession: [Function],
     getCapabilities: [Function],
     quit: [Function],
     actions: [Function],
     touchActions: [Function],
     executeScript: [Function],
     executeAsyncScript: [Function],
     call: [Function],
     wait: [Function],
     sleep: [Function],
     getWindowHandle: [Function],
     getAllWindowHandles: [Function],
     getPageSource: [Function],
     close: [Function],
     getCurrentUrl: [Function],
     getTitle: [Function],
     findElementInternal_: [Function],
     findDomElement_: [Function],
     findElementsInternal_: [Function],
     takeScreenshot: [Function],
..
}

I believe this has something to do with the ignoreSynchronization but not sure what i am doing wrong?

Please read console.log(licenses.count()); as console.log(books.count()); — amit mishra, Sep 29 '15 at 23:25

You are not catching the promise that the count() function returns as a callback after its execution. Protractor is built on WebDriverJs model of async with promises. It has nothing to do with your ignoreSynchronization and you are console logging a protractor instance object instead of its value. You need to console log the value that is returned through the promise. Here's how -

var books= element.all(by.repeater('book in books'));
books.count().then(function(booksCount){
    console.log(booksCount);
});

The above way of using .then() in above code should solve your problem. More about promises. Hope it helps.
