No way to get number of elements returned by `findElements`

This issue may not be Protractor related but I’m not sure where else to look. My setup is using Protractor with jasmine-node to test an Angular front-end to a Rails app. When I try to get how many elements are found by protractor.findElements it always errors out.

My spec file follows the onJasmineNode example. So far I’ve tried the following:

• ptor.findElements(protractor.By.css('.selector-string')).size();: [object object] has no method size
• ptor.findElements(protractor.By.css('.selector-string')).count();: [object object] has no method count
• ptor.findElements(protractor.By.css('.selector-string')).length;: undefined is not a function

For fun I wrapped the findElements in a console.log and it returns this:

{ then: [Function: then],
  cancel: [Function: cancel],
  isPending: [Function: isPending] }

Hi,

like all webdriver functions, findElements returns a promise. So, to get the length, you’ll need to do

ptor.findElements(protractor.By.css('selector-string')).then(function(elems) {
  var length = elems.length; // Here's your length!
});

The .length bit is incorrect, not sure where that came from. element.all(...).count() should do the trick.
