Undefined, returning function value to protractor
I have a function that returns a value:
checkValue = function(Name){
var tempIndex=-1;
var nameIndex=0;
return selectElement.all(by.tagName('option')).each(function (element) {
return element.getText().then(function(text){
tempIndex++;
if(text.toString().indexOf(Name)!=-1){
nameIndex=tempIndex;
return nameIndex;
}else{
return nameIndex;
};
});
});
This is called in another function:
checkValue(Name).then(function(value){
logger.info("value ::"+value);
});
When I call the above function, the value is displayed as undefined and in the logs it is displayed before the call checkValue
.
Any suggestions?

You get undefined
, since this each()
returns (returns nothing), the implementation is :
ElementArrayFinder.prototype.each = function(fn) {
return this.map(fn).then(function() {
return null;
});
};
Approach it differently using map()
:
return selectElement.all(by.tagName('option')).map(function (option, index) {
return {
'text': option.getText(),
'index': index
};
}).then(function (options) {
for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
if (options[i].text === Name)
{
return options[i].index;
}
}
});
I'm still not sure about the motivation behind the question why do you need an option index in a select. In any case, this is what you might consider by moving on to working with constructs select->option
