Protractor VS vscode-ng-language-service

Cypress is a next-generation front-end Automation testing tool built for modern web applications. It is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework and is known for faster test execution as compared with other testing tools (like Selenium or Protractor).

Protractor has been deprecated for a while on the Angular CLI side and given Nx has had Cypress support for a while it has never been a popular choice. Starting with this release we're deprecating the generator for setting up Protractor and we're planning on removing support entirely in Nx v15.

In recent releases, the Angular CLI kept reducing its feature set, mainly due to tools such as Protractor as well as TSLint being deprecated. As a result, starting with Angular 14, the Angular CLI provides the following when generating a new application:

The Protractor testing framework was created for e2e testing of Angular apps. https://www.protractortest.org/

If you don't know and what a non flexible solution then take a look at the angular language server Note that this ls have the following bug https://github.com/angular/vscode-ng-language-service/pull/1875 which means you need a language server client that supports LocationLink

I am running angular 13.1.1 but string literals do not autocomplete in the template. I saw the feature request https://github.com/angular/vscode-ng-language-service/issues/1096 And implementation https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/42729 The pr was closed without any further update Does anyone know what happened?

Mmm, I think you are on the good path thinking about a conflict. If you look at angular-ls issues, you find a few problems for HTML related to conflict (for example, https://github.com/angular/vscode-ng-language-service/issues/936). Can you indeed try to have only the angular server working for your buffer? (I do not use html-ls)

However, the actual fix needs to land from language service itself. There is an issue opened around type support for custom directives. The fix should land with first class Ivy Support (which is in preview!)
