Executing Angular E2E tests using the Protractor-Cucumber-Framework results in an abundance of peculiar cache files being generated

Within our Angular project, we have implemented the Protractor-Cucumber-Framework for conducting E2E tests. Upon completion of all E2E tests, not only does it create a results.json and results.xml file (which is expected), but it also generates numerous obscure, inaccessible cache files within a newly created null directory (refer to the provided screenshot). There are close to 1000 such files. Is this standard procedure, and is there a way to understand their purpose and prevent their generation?

Answer №1

My solution to prevent the creation of these files during each test run involved commenting out a specific line in the chromeOptions property within the protractor.conf.js file:

chromeOptions: {
  prefs: {
    'plugins.always_open_pdf_externally': true,
    download: {
      directory_upgrade: true,
      prompt_for_download: false,
      default_directory: downloadsPath,
    },
  },
  args: [
    '--no-sandbox',
    '--test-type=browser',
    '--disable-gpu',
    '--log-level=1',
    '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
    // '--disk-cache-dir=null',
  ],
},
