Protractor-Docker

I was having hard time running a protractor test on chrome, though it was a learning phase where firefox was doing the job yet I was itching to see the tests run on chrome(being default browser for protractor).
DOCKER came to rescue
So this article in a nutshell will focus on running a protractor test using docker.
Note : Assumption is you already have a protractor test that runs successfully on your local browsers. We are just running test on standalone-chrome-debug

But first I would suggest you go through the content on the page redirected to through the image.

Step 1:
Have VNCviewer installed. Click image for download page

Step 2:
Have docker installed and run Docker Quickstart Terminal

Step 3:
docker pull container command
docker pull selenium/standalone-chrome-debug
Check its download
docker images

Step 4:
run container
docker run -d --name seleniumVB -p 5900:5900 -p 4444:4444 selenium/standalone-chrome-debug
It will run the selenium server
check running process
docker ps -a

docker logs containeridxyzabc

Step 5:
In protractor framework, change config.js values . Specify the selenium server address.

Step 6:
Install Kitematic and run it. It is a tool that runs containers through a simple, yet powerful graphical user interface.

Connect to the container using VMC viewer.
Use the ip address which is in conjunction with port 5900. For instance "11.11.11.11:5900"

                                                           Wait for it.....................

Container is here. The chrome browser will run in this machine

Step 6:
Run protractor test and see it happening in the container above.

Let's ship :)
