Accessing web elements inside iframe using phantomjs with protractor

Can phantomjs perform actions like getText() or enterText() inside iFrame? I am using protractor to do my testing. Phantomjs can perform actions in the default frame but inside iframe the locators get timed out. Any suggestions?

Yes.. First, double-check the name of the id of the iframes using console.log(page.childFramesName());.. Next, you can switch the page to the iframe using page.switchToChildFrame('name_here');. Finally, you can do whatever you want.

You need to switch to the iframe before you can use it. Like so...

browser.switchTo().frame(iframeNameOrIndex);

Then to switch back, you use:

browser.driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

The Protractor API is a good source for this...

Also, if the iframe is from another domain you may need to add the --web-security=no option for phantomjs:

phantomjs --web-security=no spec.js
