Description

The Testability service provides testing hooks that can be accessed from the browser.

Angular applications bootstrapped using an NgModule (via @NgModule.bootstrap field) will also instantiate Testability by default (in both development and production modes).

For applications bootstrapped using the bootstrapApplication function, Testability is not included by default. You can include it into your applications by getting the list of necessary providers using the provideProtractorTestingSupport() function and adding them into the options.providers array. Example:

          import {provideProtractorTestingSupport} from '@angular/platform-browser';await bootstrapApplication(RootComponent, providers: [provideProtractorTestingSupport()]);
