angularjs - Select element protractor -

im having big problems trying write end2end testing.

this scenario: want count number of options given element.

what dont want use id's, im trying select without polluting html.

lets see html:

<form class="catalogue-sidebar">   ...   <ki-multi-select-option>     <select>       ...       <option></option>       ...     </select>   </ki-multi-select-option><!-- ki-multi-select-option -->   ... </form><!-- .catalogue-sidebar --> 

i have few ki-multi-select-option directives here. need count lets say, number of options on second one.

how can select ?

using id's (this works):

var colorsoptions = browser.findelements( by.css( '#filter-colors select > option' ) ); colorsoptions.then( function( elements ) {   // there empty option default, thats why "greater 1"   expect( elements.length ).tobegreaterthan( 1 ); }); 

but said, want avoid including ids testing.

i have tried lot of different combinations without success.

using jquery this:

$( ".catalogue-sidebar ki-multi-select-option:eq(1)" ).find( 'select > option' ) 

anybody can me here ?

thanks !

using css:

var options = element.all(by.css('.catalogue-sidebar ki-multi-select-option:nth-child(1) select option')); 

chaining get , all:

var kiwrapper = element.all(by.css('.catalogue-sidebar ki-multi-select-option')).get(1); var options = kiwrapper.all(by.css('select option')); 

now count function there no need of then since expect handles webdriver promises:

expect(options.count()).tobegreaterthan(1);
