Protractor's waitForAngularEnabled: When to Disable Angular Synchronization and How to Do It Safely
Protractor waits for Angular's $http and $timeout queues before every command — great until a test hits a non-Angular page and hangs. Here is how to toggle waitForAngularEnabled safely in a hybrid app.
