controlling multiple browsers during protractor e2e tests independently

During E2E testing of an angular web chat program, using protractor as the E2E framework, I would like to open two browsers and control each of them during the test so I can mimic a real chat and verify all expectations are fulfilled.

Is this possible? I know I can run the test in parallel on several browsers using the multi capabilities configuration segment but here I want to run multiple browsers as part of the test and perform different exceptions checks.

Any help will be most welcome,

Thanks

Alon

Yes, you can have control over multiple browsers by forking a driver:

browser.get('http://www.angularjs.org');
browser.addMockModule('moduleA', "angular.module('moduleA', []).value('version', '3');");

// To create a new browser.
var browser2 = browser.forkNewDriverInstance();

// To create a new browser with url as 'http://www.angularjs.org':
var browser3 = browser.forkNewDriverInstance(true);

Note that if you use global variables or $ or $$ you have to prepare a new replacement as well

var element2 = browser2.element;
var $2 = browser2.$;
var $$2 = browser2.$$;
element2(by.model(...)).click();
$2('.css').click();
$$2('.css').click();

Here's an example that does exactly what you want (i.e. test an instant messenger)

See https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/spec/interactionConf.js and https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/spec/interaction/interaction_spec.js#L51

To run the instant messenger test app that I'm testing against, checkout the protractor github project and run npm start
