nightwatch-starter
How to use
Just clone it, bro! Give me a star while you're at it too.
About this starter
This starter installs Chromedriver from package.json thus requiring minimal initial setup.
It also comes with an example Nightwatch command which can be found here to server as an example of code re-use between different fixtures.
About browser tests
Browser tests are used to make sure that the app works from a very holistic perspective. It verifies that basic use cases are functional without verifying the underpins of the system.
They are normally run at the very end of the build pipeline when the lower level unit tests have passed.
Nightwatch browser tests will use a real browser to execute black box-style assertions.
Installation
Just run yarn.
Running
Then run yarn integration-test.
Developing
Writing tests
Tests/fixtures are located in the tests/ folder. Happy coding!
Changing config
Most of the configuration lives in nightwatch.conf.js.
This is the place to define paths, globals like timeouts and such.
Common pitfalls
Upgrading
Upgrading usually means bumping nightwatch, selenium-server-standalone-jar
or chromedriver's version number.
When upgrading selenium-server-standalone-jar the new path
to the .jar file should be specified in nightwatch.conf.js.
Please refer to this commit for a how-to example.
Note that the version is specified exactly.
This is done to not break the config when new minor versions are released.
