How to see what Protractor tests is currently executing?

In my Protractor test script, I use the usual notation:

describe("mytest") {
    ...
    it(" should do this") {
    ... 
    it(" should do that") {

I would like to be able to see what test and what part of each is currently running when I run them. Is there any option I can use to output test descriptions to the console?

There is a reporter that should do what you are looking for. Take a look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/jasmine-spec-reporter and https://github.com/bcaudan/jasmine-spec-reporter/tree/master/examples/protractor

If you need to know the name of the spec currently rinning you could use: jasmine.getEnv().currentSpec.description and log it

since protractor runs in node you can use console.log as you normally would in javascript, for more console fun see the node docs

I like to place any logs after functionality so that I know its been completed, so wrapping it inside of a .then() function seemed to work best for me

example:

element(elementToFind).click().then(function(){
    console.log("clicked element");
    continue();
});

You can use the --verbose option to print more information about your tests, but it will not tell you which test is currently being run.

I suggest you to create an issue if you want that feature. https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/new

$ ./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor protractor-config.js --verbose
