Hello guys, I will post about how to install protractor and cucumber to test an AngularJS and how to import this project on your Eclipse.
You need JDK and Node.js installed:
– Install node in your mac
brew install node
node --version
– Check the version of you java
java -version
– Git clone this project as an example:
https://github.com/AndrewKeig/protractor-cucumber.git
– Install protractor and cucumber through npm, update and start the webdriver server
npm install -g protractor
npm install -g cucumber
protractor --version
webdriver-manager update
webdriver-manager start
– You will see a message like this on your console:
11:13:08.586 INFO - Selenium Server is up and running
– Run cucumber.js on the protractor-cucumber’s project folder
– If you have the error below, move the features folder to outside the examples folder and open the /features/step_definitions/steps.js and remove one of the “../”:
return binding.lstat(pathModule._makeLong(path)); ^ Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/Users/Documents/workspace/protractor-cucumber/features' at Error (native) at Object.fs.lstatSync (fs.js:887:18) at Object.realpathSync (fs.js:1518:21) at Object.expandPathWithExtensions (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cucumber/lib/cucumber/cli/path_expander.js:14:23) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cucumber/lib/cucumber/cli/path_expander.js:8:27 at Array.map (native) at Object.expandPathsWithExtensions (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cucumber/lib/cucumber/cli/path_expander.js:7:31) at Object.expandPaths (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cucumber/lib/cucumber/cli/feature_path_expander.js:9:38) at Function.Configuration (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cucumber/lib/cucumber/cli/configuration.js:21:63) at getConfiguration (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cucumber/lib/cucumber/cli.js:46:38) Rafaelas-MBP-2:protractor-cucumber rafaelasouza$ cucumber.js module.js:341
If you want to run on Eclipse:
– Install nodeclipse, a Node.js plugin for Eclipse
npm install -g nodeclipse nodeclipse -g
– Import this project into your workspace and install Enide on your eclipse.
Thank you guys ! See you tomorrow !

Hi Rafaela
I followed all the steps mentioned here till eclipse installation. I got the error that you have mentioned above.
After making the changes mentioned I am still getting below mentioned error :
Error: Cannot find module ‘protractor’

I am new to protractor cucumber framework so I would really appreciate help from you.
I am not able to use cucumber.js command but I got to know that it has been changed so cucumber-js does the same action for me.
please let me know if I am missing something here.
PS: node version v6.9.5
protractor version Version 5.1.1
Hi Swapnil, the error that mentioned on the post was another one, but I maybe have a guess about what it could be. Are you running on the terminal first ? If yes, you need to run all the commands in your project folder on the terminal:
npm install -g protractornpm install -g cucumber
protractor --version
webdriver-manager update
webdriver-manager start
After this you need to go to your project folder again on another tab and run:
cucumber.jsLet me know if until this part works.
Hi Rafaela
I could resolve the issue.
It was local and global installation of protractor messing up things for me.
this is the outcome I see in command prompt when i run cucumber-js
C:\Users\spingle\Desktop\protractor-cucumber-master>cucumber-js

I have taken features folder out of examples folder as you mentioned above.
Still I am getting this steps missing error.
Also I imported this project in eclipse after installing nodeclipse as you have suggested.
Can you please guide the steps to be followed for executing scripts in eclipse and how to make sure that feature file and step def mapping is there ?
Hi Swapnil, have you opened the /features/step_definitions/steps.js and removed one of the “../” in the code ? Send me your project structure and the steps.js in case you have did this.
