Get current name in protractor multicapabilities config?

In Protractor's multicapabilities configuration, you can access the current capability's name using the browser.getProcessedConfig() method. This method retrieves the processed configuration for the current capability, which includes the name and other properties.

Here's how you can access the current capability's name in the Protractor multicapabilities configuration:

javascriptCopy code
// protractor.conf.js

exports.config = {
  // Other configuration settings...

  multicapabilities: [
    {
      browserName: 'chrome',
      name: 'Capability 1', // This is the name of the capability
      // Other capability properties...
    },
    {
      browserName: 'firefox',
      name: 'Capability 2', // This is the name of the capability
      // Other capability properties...
    },
    // Add more capabilities if needed...
  ],

  // Other configuration settings...

  onPrepare: function () {
    // Access the current capability's name using browser.getProcessedConfig()
    browser.getProcessedConfig().then(function (config) {
      console.log('Current capability name:', config.capabilities.name);
    });
  }
};

In the example above, the multicapabilities configuration defines two capabilities, each with a name property. Inside the onPrepare function, the browser.getProcessedConfig() method is used to get the processed configuration for the current capability. The config.capabilities.name property is then used to access the name of the current capability.

When you run Protractor with this configuration, it will print the names of the capabilities in the console before the tests start executing. The output will be something like:

sqlCopy code
Current capability name: Capability 1
Current capability name: Capability 2

By accessing the current capability's name, you can perform specific actions or logic based on the capabilities defined in the multicapabilities configuration. This can be useful when you need to run different tests or setup steps for each capability.
