Add and configure test tools about dspace-angular HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello!
I need some hints to decide how to proceed and I'm sure that someone of you has more experience than me with the 'package.json'.
Protractor needs to be installed as global. Should I put it into the 'global' script? Or we should create a 'global-test' or something like that?
Moreover, Protractor has Selenium server as dependency that can be installed with the following shell command:
webdriver-manager update
In this case where I can put that command (must be executed after the Protractor installation)?
For a more clean install I should check the presence of a Java SDK because it's needed by Selenium.
Maybe all these operations need a separated shell script?
Thanks

angular-cli uses these exact same tools for testing. If I were you, I'd set up a new angular-cli project, and take a look at the code it generates: which relevant libraries are added to package.json, what the config files for these tools look like, etc. It should give you a good starting point.

Looking at a local angular-cli project, it would indeed seem that protractor is a global dependency, and should therefore be added to the global script. And that they add a e2e npm script that runs protractor, and a pree2e script (meaning it will trigger automatically before every run of e2e) that runs "webdriver-manager update"

@artlowel good advice

For a more complete setup for testing I would check out this starter project. It is not using Angular Universal, but that should not play a role on the testing strategy or setup.
