Inconsistent variable names in sauce.js and driverProvider.js, config_.webDriverProxy needs to be added to sauce.js file

[zamani16]

It seems that webDriverProxy variable is missing in the 'sauce.js' file! Therefore, we have the following workaround in place to have our Protractor test run on Sauce Labs via our corporate proxy:

1. In protractor config.js add following lines

exports.config = { 
     sauceUser:'SauceUser',
     sauceKey:'SauceKey',
     webDriverProxy: 'http://proxy.mysite.com:18099',

   // things you had in there before
};

2. In node_modules/protractor/lib/driverProviders/sauce.js file (i.e. the DriverProvider for Sauce Labs in Protractor), add this:

this.sauceServer_ = new SauceLabs({
    username: this.config_.sauceUser,
    password: this.config_.sauceKey,
    agent: this.config_.sauceAgent,
    proxy: this.config_.webDriverProxy   // this line needs to be added
});

3. In node_modules/protractor/lib/driverProviders/driverProvider.js modify the getNewDriver function as below.

DriverProvider.prototype.getNewDriver = function() {
 var newDriver = new webdriver.Builder().
     usingServer(this.config_.seleniumAddress).
  usingWebDriverProxy(this.config_.webDriverProxy).    // here we have webDriverProxy
     withCapabilities(this.config_.capabilities).
     build();
 this.drivers_.push(newDriver);
 return newDriver;
};

Change (3) already exists in protractor (at least at master).

@juliemr you know why we have both sauceProxy and webDriverProxy?
