Mocking Open With URL (Deep Links)

You can mock opening the app from URL to test your app’s deep link handling mechanism.

Mocking App Launch With a URL

await device.launchApp({newInstance: true, url, sourceApp: bundleId}); // sourceApp is an optional iOS-only argument

Example

describe('launch app from URL', () => {
it('should handle URL successfully', async () => {
await device.launchApp({
newInstance: true,
url: 'scheme://some.url',
sourceApp: 'com.apple.mobilesafari'
});
await expect(element(by.text('a label'))).toBeVisible();
});
});

Mocking Opening With a URL On a Launched App
