I am trying to download distance between 2 locations from tomtom api.
Protractor will not let me use
*fetch - fetch is not defined - please use import
*import - Cannot use import statement outside of module
*when I add
{
type: module
}
to package.json - protractor stops working, as no entire code is a module of ES
*browser.get - opens http with json data, but I cannot extract it.
Is there any other way? I tried to import json to a different file and export response.data, but the module error stops me from doing that also.
I did not manage to run node-fetch on my script as Protractor kept rejecting the import. I managed to to sort it out with require 'https'
const https = require('https');
let measureDistance = async function(pickup, dropoff) {
let url = `https://api.tomtom.com/routing/1/calculateRoute/${pickup[0]}%2C${pickup[1]}%3A${dropoff[0]}%2C${dropoff[1]}/json?routeType=shortest&avoid=unpavedRoads&key=uwbU08nKLNQTyNrOrrQs5SsRXtdm4CXM`;
await https.get(url, res => {
let body = '';
res.on('data', chunk => {
body += chunk;
});
res.on("end", () => {
try {
let json = JSON.parse(body);
howFar = json.routes[0].summary.lengthInMeters;
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
}
}).on("error", (error) => {
console.error(error.message);
});
});
};Protractor is for testing angular webpages, but you can have the browser execute arbitrary javascript, but to use fetch, you need to use window
function getTomTomData() {
//replace this with your tomtom api call, and transform the response
return window.fetch(TOM_TOM_URL);
}
browser.executeScript(getTomTomData).then(res=> {
//do something with the response
});
