Protractor stacktrace does not mention the line number on the .js file where the syntax issue or error occurs -

this conf.js

exports.config = { seleniumaddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub', specs: ['c:\\users\\meiyer\\desktop\\protractor_tests\\specs\\specs.js'], baseurl: 'https://devcp.us.sunpowermonitor.com/#/dashboard', // framework use. jasmine recommended. framework: 'jasmine', //options passed jasmine-node. jasminenodeopts: {   oncomplete: null,   isverbose: true,   showcolors: true,   includestacktrace: true  }  }; 

this specs.js

var elhloginpage = { nameinput : element(by.model('user.username')), passinput : element(by.model('model')), submitbutton :element(by.buttontext('sign in')), setemail: function(email) { this.nameinput.sendkeys(email); }, setpass: function(password) { this.passinput.sendkeys(password); }, clicksubmit:function(){ this.submitbutton.click(); } };  var elhhomepage = { greetingtext : element(by.css('.greeting-des')), getgreetingtext: function() { this.greetingtext.text(); } };   describe('elhloginpage login test', function() { it('should land on homepage when valid username , password entered',   function(){ elhloginpage.setemail('lease_id@test.com'); elhloginpage.setpass('sun'); elhloginpage.clicksubmit(); expect(elhhomepage.getgreetingtext().toequal('hello lease'); }); }); 

i executing test on node.js command prompt -> protractor conf.js. getting below stack trace. information below -i not able debug on line number on either of .js files issue has occurred. there way activate information on stacktrace?

stacktrace -

unforunately can common error in protractor syntax issues. it's hard tell without code indentation, error missing ) , @ quick glance looks missing 1 in final expect statement.

you have:

expect(elhhomepage.getgreetingtext().toequal('hello lease'); 

it should be:

expect(elhhomepage.getgreetingtext()).toequal('hello lease'); 

you can use linters es lint find syntax errors this.
