protractor - wait for previous it block to finish before next

how to synchronize the it blocks,

var kc = 1;
describe('angularjs homepage todo list', function() {
      for(var i=0;i<5;i++){
      it('should add a todo', function() {
        kc = 10;
        hello = 10;
      });
    }
  });
describe('Print kc',function(){
  var k = kc1();
  expect(kc).toEqual(10);
});

Output: Value of kc is : 1

expected : Value of kc is : 10

If I'm understanding you correctly, then you want to store a value in a variable and access it in different describes.

You can use browser.params to store a "global" variable. Then you need to add the params attribute to your protractor-config:

...
params: {
    kc: 1
}
...

Now you can access your variable with browser.params.kc, so your code would look like this:

describe('angularjs homepage todo list', function() {
      for(var i=0;i<5;i++){
      it('should add a todo', function() {
        browser.params.kc = 10;
        hello = 10;
      });
    }
  });
describe('Print kc',function(){
  var k = kc1();
  expect(browser.params.kc).toEqual(10);
});

The advantage of using browser.params to store your value is that you can pass another value directly to the protractor instance like:

protractor protractor-config.js --params.kc 5<- kc now has the value 5

Does this help? Or did i misunderstood you?
