dynamically skip protractor tests

Question

Is there a way to skip protractor test dynamically? I have scenarios where a user can select any specific test to perform. So, I want to execute only the tests user has specified and dependent tests, all other tests should be skipped.

I am using grunt-protractor-runner.

protractor: 2.0
Jasmine: 2.3

As shown in this question, you can specify a URL of a specific spec. Otherwise you'd have to use the focused fdescribe/fit but you can't change it in runtime. This is not related to Protractor but rather specific to Jasmine.

May be for you not actual. But it may be useful for other people. You can try to use the next construction:

it('your test', function(done)){

if('user action or result of user action'){
console.log("Test is skiped");
done();
}
//other test's code
...................
done(); 
}

Tried this, doesn't work. `//other test's code' is still executed. But with your approach, you could simply `return` in the `if` branch to have an early exit without using the `done` function. – deviolog May 06 '18 at 22:10
