Protractor. Browser error after one action on the page

Question

I'm newcomer with protractor and now my work needs is to create testing project for angularjs application. I've started with guidelines and faced with error on start:

Error: Uncaught Error: [$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!
Watchers fired in the last 5 iterations: []
http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.0/$rootScope/infdig?p0=10&p1=%5B%5D
http://localhost/main-f3fbd0c72e8415cd0a449214b66bdacc-cached.js:2140
    at window.onerror (http://localhost/main-f3fbd0c72e8415cd0a449214b66bdacc-cached.js:1277:52)

Configuration file

  exports.config = {
    directConnect: true,

    seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',

    capabilities: {
       'browserName': 'chrome'
    },
    specs: ['specs/spec.js'],

    jasmineNodeOpts: {
       showColors: true,
       defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
    }
};

Test file:

    "use strict";

    describe('WEB test project', function() {

    var wl5StartPage = require('../pages/startPage.js');
      it('Its start login page', function() {
        wl5StartPage.get();  
        wl5StartPage.wl5Login();
    });
  });

startPage.js:

var WL5LoginPage = function() {

    this.userName = element(by.model('loginInfo.userId'));
    this.loginButton = element(by.css('[ng-click="login()"]'));

    this.get = function() {
        browser.get('http://localhost/login');
    };

    this.wl5Login = function() {    
        this.userName.sendKeys("user1");
        this.loginButton.click();
    };
}

module.exports = new WL5LoginPage();

Its very simple test, but unfortunatelly it crashed when I entered username and clicked "Login". Is there some way to ignore such browser errors? Or some way to fix problem?

Thank you in advance.

publish your login code inside the spec, so that we would know what is going on... — Surendra Jnawali, Apr 13 '17 at 21:36

Basically there is nothing wrong with protractorJS code. Reason why you are seeing this - it is because your angular application throws this error. Protractor is trying to wait for angular on the page - but can't . Seems like your error is similar to this one - Error: 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting! with dynamic sortby predicate

I would suggest only as a temporary solution to disable protractor's waitForAngular just to debug your test:

browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false)

http://www.protractortest.org/#/api?view=ProtractorBrowser.prototype.waitForAngularEnabled

But i am 99% sure that this is something that must be fixed on frontend side to allow smooth test automation with automatic waiting for angular.

UPDATE: Also you might try to turn on this property in your protractor config - https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/lib/config.ts#L485
