Protractor and Selenium in Gulp and Jenkins

testing selenium jenkins gulp protractor

You need to do this in multiple steps/tasks with the help of gulp:

start a selenium server (if you are using a local selenium server)
start a web server, see gulp-webserver (you were missing this step)
run protractor tests
shutdown a web server
shutdown a selenium server

testing selenium jenkins gulp protractor

A fully working example of such configuration can be found on angular-seed project.https://github.com/angular/angular-seed

I have managed to successfully use this example to use protractor tests in my GitHub project: https://github.com/atais/angular-eonasdan-datetimepicker

So you may use either to help you out.

Basically the easiest way is to:

run http-server as daemon
run gulp tests
manage everything from npm (package.json)
