How to check if an item is enabled

Question

I need to check with Protractor if the button in my angular application is on, so this is my test:

it('submit should not be enabled',function() { var price = by.name('price'), oldCategory = by.name('oldCategory'), newCategory = by.name('newCategory'), oldPayment = by.name('oldPayment'), newPayment = by.name('newPayment'), item = by.name('item'), submit = by.id('submitButton'); expect(submit.isEnabled().toBe(false)); }); 

when i run the test get this error:

  TypeError: Object By.name("price") has no method 'isEnabled' 

Answer 1

The brackets are copied to expectation :

 expect(submit.isEnabled().toBe(false)); 

it should be:

 expect(submit.isEnabled()).toBe(false);

And you are using protractor locator incorrectly:

 submit = by.id('submitButton'); 

it should be:

 submit = element(by.id('submitButton')); 

---

You can find many examples in the protractor specifier .

Answer 2

Try the following:

 submit = element(by.id('submitButton'));
