Protractor browser chrome cache issue

google-chrome, protractor

Solution

If you are thinking it is the cache issue, try opening Chrome in Incognito mode by adding this settings to your conf.js:

capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome',
    'chromeOptions': {
      'args': ['incognito']
    }
  }

Problem

Right now I'm running Protractor tests in chrome & while doing the automation I added a custom css class to a html file to catch that element for my automation. But strangely when I run the test, the class I added was not reflected in my test browser. So I couldn't find the element correctly. And I tried to go to a normal chrome window & check the new css class I added. It was there in a normal chrome window without any problem. Do you have any idea what is happening here? Is this a cacheing issue? I added a `browser.enterRepl();` & inspect in the test as well. But I couldn't see the new css class that I added. I tried with adding a `id` & same thing is happening
