Protractor: Decrease the magnification

Currently, I am working with protractor and facing the challenge of zooming out to 50%. Despite trying numerous solutions found on StackOverflow, none have successfully resolved the issue. Some attempted solutions include:

browser.actions().keyDown(protractor.Key.COMMAND).sendKeys(protractor.Key.SUBTRACT).keyUp(protractor.Key.CONTROL).perform();
browser.executeScript("document.body.style.zoom='50%'");
browser.executeScript("document.body.style.zoom='0.5'");

Oddly enough, the .keyDown function in the first solution is being recognized as an unresolved function, although other parts of the code that produce the same error seem to work appropriately. Any alternative suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

Based on my experience with zooming in Protractor, I have observed that the browser.executeScript() method for zooming does not work if there is a browser.get() statement after zooming in. It's strange, but that's how it seems to function :)

This approach will not be successful - 

browser.executeScript("document.body.style.zoom='50%'");
browser.get('http://www.protractortest.org/#/')

However, this method will work as intended

browser.get('http://www.protractortest.org/#/')
browser.executeScript("document.body.style.zoom='50%'");

On the other hand, this method will not work - 

onPrepare(){
    browser.executeScript("document.body.style.zoom='50%'");
}

It is crucial to note that the zoom statement should only exist in the spec file and come after all get() and navigate() methods.
