AngularJS Protractor - Finding an Element on a Page Using Ng-Click Binding
50,337
Solution 1
I went through the Protractor API and didn't find anything related to finding an element through ng-click
. I did find
element(by.buttonText("Submit"));
Not quite the same, but does the job in my environment.
Solution 2
Just tested this and it works:
element(by.css('[ng-click="myFunction()"]'))
Solution 3
If you want to use ng-show
, you could try this:
element(by.Css("button[ng-show]")); // Get element with tag < button > and has ng-show attribute
or:
element(by.Css("button[ng-show*=flag]")); // Get element with tag < button > and has ng-show attribute which contains word flag

I have a button on a page that looks like:
<button ng-click="myFunction()" ng-show="flag"> Submit </button>
The element has no ID.
Is there a way to find this element using the function bound to Ng-Click? Or do I have to assign an ID to this element to locate it using Jasmine / Protractor?
