How can I ignore websocket (found in Network tab) in protractor?

Basically Protractor hangs in our project, because there is this weird xhr_streaming activity in Network tab caused by some sort of websocket which never finishes. Is there a way in protractor or by using some additional node lib to ignore this request?

Protractor has no way of doing that, and it's a big loss in my opinion. The only way to make this work is to use:

beforeAll(() => {
  browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
});

The problem is now that it won't wait for angular events anymore, and there could be times that elements are not visible yet.

Besides protractor, you could also have a look at Cypress.io. Personally I think it's much easier and more straight forward to write e2e with.

Maybe it works if you make the xhr request run outside the NgZone, and whenever it needs to do something, make it run back in the zone:

constructor(readonly nz: NgZone, readonly http: HttpClient) {}

startStreamingXhr(): void {
  this.nz.runOutsideAngular(() => this.http.get(...).subscribe((data) => {
    this.nz.run(() => {
      // do something with data
    });
  });
}

You can try to use those options:

Option 1

Option 2

You can try to abort XHR in question. See the reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/abort

Option 3

Protractor / Selenium XHR stays in status "pending"

Let me know if any of those options worked.
