Automatically generate field values for form validation with Protractor
I want to test a simple user registration form using Protractor.
Here's my test:
describe('User Registration Page Tests', function() {
beforeEach(function() {
browser.get('/#/register');
});
it('user registration success', function(){
element(by.model('user.organizationName')).sendKeys('someOrg');
element(by.model('user.firstName')).sendKeys('some');
element(by.model('user.lastName')).sendKeys('user');
element(by.model('user.email')).sendKeys('some@user.com');
element(by.model('user.password')).sendKeys('123456');
element(by.model('confirmPassword')).sendKeys('123456');
element(by.id('submitBtn')).click();
browser.getCurrentUrl().then(function(url) {
expect(url).toEqual('http://localhost:9001/#/success');
});
});
});
For the first time, the test will pass. But next time it will fail because this user already exists.
Is there a way to automatically generate new field values to solve this problem?
Couldn't find anything on google about this ...

Add the current timestamp to the values for firstName and lastName as,
var randVal = Date.now()
............................
element(by.model('user.firstName')).sendKeys('some-' + randVal);
element(by.model('user.lastName')).sendKeys('user-' + randVal);
element(by.model('user.email')).sendKeys('some' + randVal + '@user.com');

Can use this function to automatically generate username
var.autoGenerateUserName = function() {
var autoGenerateUserName = "Auto-UserName-";
var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++)
autoGenerateUserName += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
return autoGenerateUserName;
};
In this registration form, you can use something like this
element(by.model('user.organizationName')).sendKeys(autoGenerateUserName());
or
var userName = autoGenerateUserName();
element(by.model('user.organizationName')).sendKeys(userName);
