In a test spec, I need to click a button on a web page, and wait for the new page completely loaded.

emailEl.sendKeys('jack');
passwordEl.sendKeys('123pwd');

btnLoginEl.click();

// ...Here need to wait for page complete... How?

ptor.waitForAngular();
expect(ptor.getCurrentUrl()).toEqual(url + 'abc#/efg');

Depending on what you want to do, you can try:

browser.waitForAngular();

or

btnLoginEl.click().then(function() {
  // do some stuff 
});

to solve the promise. It would be better if you can do that in the beforeEach.

NB: I noticed that the expect() waits for the promise inside (i.e. getCurrentUrl) to be solved before comparing.
