Answer 1

Your code is malformed, here is the correct syntax:

it('should count the number of option', function () {
    expect(element(by.id('sorting_options')).all(by.tagName('option')).count()).toBe(3);
});

Answer 2

Alternatively, use the abstraction/wrapper around the select introduced here:

var SelectWrapper  = require('select-wrapper');
var sorting = new SelectWrapper(by.id('sorting_options'));

expect(sorting.getOptions().count()).toEqual(3);
