Why I am not able to see any methods for expect in protractor?

For example when use expect in protractor like below

expect(true).toBe(true);

After the dot I don't find any method as shown above toBe()

C:\>npm -g list
C:\Users\x216526\AppData\Roaming\npm

| +-- protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter@0.0.6 extraneous
| +-- protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter@0.2.0 extraneous
| +-- q@1.4.1

Please also tell me if their is any direct command to find the Jasmine version just like protractor --version.

In order to see jasmine related functions you should have Jasmine type definitions. Do it as follows... first install typings globally as 

npm install typings --global

now install jasmine type definitions 

tsd install jasmine

Next put a reference of type definition file in your typescript test file in below manner.

/// <reference path="../../typings/main/ambient/jasmine/jasmine.d.ts" />

(note, path may be different based on where it is installed, correct it accordingly)

After this, you should be able to use all Jasmine matchers.

Regarding Jasmine version - I can see in your package.json it say Jasmine 2.4.1. So, 2.4.1 is the version. If you want to confirm it then use following command

npm view jasmine version

  • tsd install jasmine – Balaji Singh .Y Aug 21 '16 at 17:58
  • 'tsd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. – Balaji Singh .Y Aug 21 '16 at 17:58
  • sure, I assumed that you have tsd installed. try "npm install -g tsd". This will install tsd globally and then you can try tsd install jasmine. – TypeScripter Aug 22 '16 at 00:18
  • Thanks for the quick help now this second command "tsd install jasmine "got installed. – Balaji Singh .Y Aug 27 '16 at 13:37
  • now i have another issue when i try this command " tsd install jasmine" – Balaji Singh .Y Aug 27 '16 at 13:38

  • I hope its something related to certificate issue because i am working on a secured VM with restricted rights. – Balaji Singh .Y Aug 27 '16 at 13:53
  • you can do it in two way.. 1st and better way, create a tsdrc file and provide your proxy and other settings there.. https://github.com/Definitelytyped/tsd#tsdrc the other way, just copy the jasmine.d.ts file from https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/jasmine/jasmine.d.ts (either download or copy content and paste in a file which is named jasmine.d.ts).. when you follow this second approach, you don't need tsd, so you can skip tsd related steps, do refer that new file as explained above. – TypeScripter Aug 27 '16 at 23:45

@Balaji, If I understood the question correctly you want to see the expect methods like toBe inside protractor? you can check it inside your global protractor folder, in your case open C:\Users\x216526\AppData\Roaming\npm/protractor4.0.3

  • You can check the Jasmine version in package.json -

Jasmin version

  • You can find the jasmine matchers i.e expect methods toBe inside the node_modules in jasmine core like this-

matchers

  • I doubt if he wants that, As the question mentions, when he types dot, after that, methods (matchers) like toBe() are not appearing as part of intellisense. – TypeScripter Aug 22 '16 at 20:06
  • Thanks for all who pitched in . I understand this pacakge.json and Jasmine.js which contains all these matchers. But i dont know why iam not able to see any matchers like "toBE " after dot. I dont see that various listing matchers – Balaji Singh .Y Aug 27 '16 at 13:32
