A proper monster for front-end automated testing
Wendigo is a wrapper of Puppeteer with the purpose of making automated testing easier and simpler. Install it with npm install --save-dev wendigo
Consider the following example of a test using Puppeteer:
await page.click(".my-btn");
await page.waitForSelector("#my-modal")
const modalText = await page.evaluate(() => {
const modalElement = document.querySelector("#my-modal");
return modalElement.textContent;
})
assert.strictEqual(modalText, "Button Clicked");
Using Wendigo, the same test could be written like this:
await browser.click(".my-btn");
await page.waitFor("#my-modal");
await browser.assert.text("#my-modal", "Button Clicked");
Warning: Wendigo is under early stages of development and its interface may change
Recommended node 8.11.3 lts
Contents
Wendigo is the main static class exported by the package. It provides the methods necessary to create browsers and disconnect from chrome, can be imported with require('wendigo')
:
static createBrowser(settings)
Will create and return a Browser instance. It will automatically launch and connect Puppeteer and Chrome if an instance is not running.
- settings is an optional object with the settings to build the browser
log: false
: If true, it will log all the console events of the browser.userAgent
: If defined, the default user agent will be overridden.- Any settings that can be passed to Puppeteer can be passed in createdBrowser, for example:
headless: true
: If true, the browser will run on headless mode.slowMo: 0
: Slows the execution of commands by given number of milliseconds
Warning: the settings will only take effect the first time a browser page is created, to fully restart the settings you must close the browser connection using
Wendigo.stop()
before executing createBrowser again
Examples:
const Wendigo=require('wendigo');
const browser=Wendigo.createBrowser(); // Using default options
const Wendigo=require('wendigo');
const browser=Wendigo.createBrowser({
headless: false,
slowMo: 500
}); // Using options to see what's happening
static stop()
Will stop and disconnect all the browsers. It should be called after finishing all the tests.
The Browser instance is and interface with the page
class of Puppeteer.
page
Puppeteer page class, allows access to Puppeteer API if needed.
await browser.page.evaluate(()=>{
document.querySelector("h1");
});
assert
Allow access to the Assertion interface.
frame
Puppeteer frame class
All the methods in Browser return a Promise than can easily be handled by using async/await
.

await browser.cookies.set("username", "marvin");
delete(name)
Deletes the cookie with given name if exists. Optionally an array can be passed and all the cookies will be removed. Won't do anything if the cookie doesn't exists.
await browser.cookies.delete("username");
await browser.cookies.delete(["username", "email"]);
clear()
Deletes all the cookies of the current page.
await browser.cookies.clear()
The browser.console
provides a list of the logs generated by the current page (a.k.a console.* methods). The logs are given as a custom class Log Note that none of these methods requires the user of async/await.
all()
Returns an array with all the logs generated by the page.
const logs = browser.console.all();
logs[0].text; // "Hello World!"
clear()
Clear all the current logs. Note that logs are cleared when browser.close()
is called, but not when a new page is opened.
findLogsByText(txt)
Returns a list with all the logs that match the given text or regex.
const logs=browser.console.findLogsByText(/Hello/);
logs[0].text; // "Hello World!"
findLogsByType()
Returns a list with all the logs matching the given type. The log type is a string matching Puppeteer's Console Types, some of the most common types are accessible through browser.console.LogTypes
.
const errorLogs=browser.console.findLogsByType(browser.console.LogTypes.Error);
errorLogs[0].text; // "Oh No! An Error"
The class Log provides an abstraction over Puppeteer's ConsoleMessage class. Log has the following attributes:
- text: The Log text, if multiple parameters were passed to console method, these will be concatenated with spaces
- type: The Log type (string)
The core Puppeteer class is also accessible through myLog.message
All the log types are strings, but some of the most common types are accessible in browser.console.LogTypes
. For more possible types, check Puppeteer Docs:
- log
- debug
- info
- error
- warning
- trace
The module browser.localStorage
provides a simple wrapper around the browser localStorage. All the methods return Promises.
getItem(key)
Returns the item with the given key. If no item exists return null.
const value=await browser.localStorage.getItem("my-key"); // returns my-value
setItem(key, value)
Sets the given key with the given value.
await browser.localStorage.setItem("my-key", "my-value");
removeItem(key)
Removes the item with given key.
clear()
Removes all the items on the store.
length()
Returns the number of items in the store.
const itemsLength = await browser.localStorage.length(); // 3
Assertions related local storage can be accessed through browser.assert.localStorage
.
exist(key, msg?)
Asserts that the item with given key exists in the localStorage (i.e. not null).
browser.assert.localStorage.exist("my-key");
Alternatively, if an array is passed as key, all the elements will be checked.
value(key, expected, msg?)
Asserts that the item with given key has the expected value.
browser.assert.localStorage.value("arthur", "dontpanic");
Alternatively, an object can be passed instead of key/expected with the elements that should be checked:
browser.assert.localStorage.value({arthur: "dontpanic", marvin:"the paranoid"});
length(expected, msg?)
Asserts that the localStorage has the expected length.
empty(msg?)
Asserts that the localStorage is empty (i.e. length>0)
All these assertions have the negative
browser.assert.localStorage.not
.
The Requests module allows to get and filter the requests made by the browser since the page was opened.
All the requests objects are Puppeteer's Requests
all
Returns all requests, ordered by when it was dispatched.
await browser.requests.all;
filter
Returns a filter over the requests. Check Filtering Requests for examples.
mock(url, response, method?)
Mocks all the requests to the given url, sending the given response instead. If a method (GET
, POST
...) is specified, only requests to given method will be mocked.
Response is an object with the following attributes:
status
Response status code, defaults to 200.headers
Optional response headers.contentType
If set, equals to setting Content-Type response header.body
Optional response body. It can be a string or a json-serializable objectdelay
Optional delay to wait for the response to be fullfilled, in msauto
if set to false, the request won't be fullfilled automatically and a manual trigger must be defined,default to true
This object properties will be used with the interface of Puppeteer's respond method
// All requests made to /api will return 200 with the given body
browser.requests.mock("http://localhost:8000/api", {
body: `{result: "ok"}`
});
Mock will return a RequestMock object, with the following properties:
called
: If the mock has been calledtimesCalled
: The times the mock has been calledresponse
: The response the mock is returning (read only)url
: Mocked urlimmediate
: If the mock will return immediately (delay=0)assert.called(times?)
: asserts that the mock has been called the given number of times, if times parameter is not given, the assertion will throw if no calls were madeauto
: If the request will be completed automatically
const mock=browser.requests.mock("http://localhost:8000/api", {
body: {result: "ok"}
});
mock.called; // false
mock.timesCalled; // 0
callApi(); // { result: "ok" }
mock.called; // true
mock.timesCalled; // true
All mocks are removed when opening a different page with browser.open
unless the option clearRequestMocks
is set to false.
If the mock is not auto, it can be manually triggered with the method trigger()
, this method cannot be called with auto mocks:
const mock=browser.requests.mock("http://localhost:8000/api", {
body: {result: "ok"},
auto: false()
});
callApi();
mock.trigger();
removeMock(url, method?)
Removes the mock with the given url and method. If the original mock has a method, removeMock must provide the same method.
clearRequests()
Clears the list of requests.
clearMocks()
Remove all the request mocks.
To filter the requests made by the browser, you can use browser.request.filter
.
For example, to filter requests with status code of 200:
const filteredRequests = await browser.requests.filter.status(200).requests;
The available filters are:
url(value)
Filters by the given url. The url can be a string or a regex.
await browser.requests.filter.url("http://localhost:8002/api").requests;
method(value)
Filters by request method (GET
, POST
,...)
status(value)
Filters by response status (200
, 400
)
fromCache(value=true)
Filters whether the response comes from the browser cache or not.
responseHeaders(headers)
Filters requests where the response has all the given headers with the given values. The expected value can be a string or regex.
await browser.requests.filter.responseHeaders({
'content-type': /html/,
})
ok(isOk=true)
Filters request which response are considered successfull (status is between 200 and 299).
Filters can be joined to perform a filter of several fields.
//Filters all the POST requests made to any url with api that are not cached and returned a success code
await browser.filter.url(/api/).method("POST").ok().fromCache(false).requests;
postBody(expected)
Filters requests by post body, the body can be a String, Object or regex.
// Filters all DELETE requests made to with json body
await browser.filter.url(/api/).method("DELETE").body({id: 5}).requests;
responseBody(expected)
Filters requests by response body, the body can be a String, Object or regex. This filter returns a promise, so either then or await is required. Also it cannot be concatenated directly.
const byResponseFilter = await browser.requests.filter.url(/api/).responseBody({response: 'OK'}).requests;
Keep in mind that some filters like status require the requests to be finished. Use
await browser.wait()
before filtering to make sure the requests was completed.
Assertions related requests can be accessed through browser.assert.request
. Note that in assertions, request is singular.
Like filters, request assertion don't need await
and can be concatenated. All the assertions will check that at least one request with the given constraints was made.
url(expected, msg?)
Asserts that at least one request is made to the given url. The url can be a string or regex.
await browser.assert.request.url(/api/);
method(expected, msg?)
Asserts that at least one request was made with the given method (GET
, POST
, ...).
await rowser.assert.request.method("GET");
status(expected, msg?)
Asserts that a response was received with the given status.
await browser.assert.request.status(200);
Note that this method requires the request to be finished.
responseHeaders(expected, msg?)
Asserts that a response was received with the given headers. The expected variable is an object with one or more key values representing the expected headers. The value can be either a string or regex.
await browser.requests.assert.responseHeaders({
'content-type': /html/,
})
ok(expected=true, msg?)
Asserts that an successful response was received (status is between 200 and 299), or false if false is given.
postBody(expected, msg?)
Asserts that a request contains the given post body (regardless of method). The expected value can be a string, regex or object.
await browser.assert.request.postBody({status: "OK"});
responseBody(expected, msg?)
Asserts that a request response contains the given body. The expected value can be a string, regex or object.
await browser.assert.request.responseBody({response: "OK"});
exactly(expected, msg?)
Asserts that the exact given number of requests match the assertions. Expected can be any positive number or 0.
await browser.assert.requests.url("localhost:800/api"); // asserts that at least one request is made to given url
await browser.assert.requests.url("localhost:800/api").exactly(2); // asserts that 2 requests are made to given url
await browser.assert.requests.url("localhost:800/api").exactly(0); // asserts that no requests are made to given url
Concatenating multiple assertions is possible:
// Asserts that a POST method was done to the api endpoint
await browser.assert.request.method("POST").url("localhost:8000/api");
Negative assertions are not supported for requests
Wendigo errors can be accessed through Wendigo.Errors
. These Errors will be thrown by Wendigo browser:
AssertionError
Same as Node.js Assertion Error. It will be throw for any assertion.
QueryError
Error defining a problem with a DOM query. Generally Thrown as an unexpected result of a query made in an action or assertion.
FatalError
Defines a Fatal Error with Puppeteer (e.g. a connection error)
Testing a simple page with Mocha and Wendigo
"use strict";
const assert = require('assert');
const Wendigo = require('../lib/wendigo');
describe("My Tests", function() {
this.timeout(5000); // Recommended for CI
let browser;
before(async () => {
browser = await Wendigo.createBrowser();
});
after(async () => {
await browser.close();
await Wendigo.stop(); // After all tests finished
});
it("Page Title", async ()=>{
await browser.open("http://localhost");
await browser.assert.text("h1#main-title", "My Webpage");
await browser.assert.title("My Webpage");
});
it("Open Menu", async ()=>{
await browser.open("http://localhost");
await browser.assert.not.visible(".menu");
await browser.click(".btn.open-menu");
await browser.assert.visible(".menu");
});
});
These instructions assume node>8.0.0 and npm installed:
- Clone the git repository (
dev
branch) npm install
npm test
to execute the tests
npm run lint
to execute the linting tests
Before doing a commit or PR to the dev
branch, make sure both the tests and lint tests pass.
Wendigo
: The main class exported by the module, provides the base interface to instantiate the browser class.BrowserFactory
: class takes care of the creation of the browser instance
Browser
: Provides all the API to connect, retrieve information and perform assertions on a webpage. The BrowserFactory will compose this class from multiple mixins and modules.mixins
: A Browser is divided in several mixins (found on the folder with the same name). These will be composed in the Browser class at runtime.
Modules
: A module represents an object that will be attached to the browser at runtime with a given name (e.g. assert or localStorage). All modules inherit from BrowserModule.- Modules are different from mixins in that the modules are attached as a separate class instance whereas mixins are composed into the same class.
- Note that the assertion module is a composed module as well.
This error may appear when running wendigo on certain systems and in most CI services. The sandbox setup can be bypassed by setting the environment variable NO_SANDBOX=true
.
For example NO_SANDBOX=true npm test
.
Running tests using Puppeteer's require disabling the sandbox running mode. This can easily be achieved by passing the environment variable NO_SANDBOX=true
, this can be done either as part of the test execution command, as a Travis secret env variable or in the .travis.yml
file itself. It is recommended to add travis_retry
to allow travis to execute the tests multiple times, as browser-based setup may fail frequently on travis workers:
language: node_js
os:
- linux
node_js:
- "stable"
sudo: false
env:
- NO_SANDBOX=true
script:
- travis_retry npm test
cache:
directories:
- node_modules
Example of travis.yml file
Using gitlab with the default node image requires installing a few dependencies with apt-get
before installing wendigo. Same as in travis, sandbox mode should be disabled with the env variable NO_SANDBOX
. It is recommended to add retry: 2
to allow the CI to execute the tests multiple times, as browser-based setup may fail frequently on CI workers:
image: node:8.9.4
variables:
NO_SANDBOX: "true"
before_script:
- apt-get update
- apt-get install -y -q gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget

script:
- npm test
Example of .gitlab-ci.yml
If you are using node@10 and puppeteer 1.4.0 or less, you may experience messages such as Assertion failed: No node found for selector
, this is due to a change in how console.assertion
works in node 10 and how puppeteer uses it, these messages won't affect the tests, if the messages are a big problem for you, consider downgrading your node.js version, upgrading puppeteer if possible or overriding console.assert: console.assert=()=>{}
.
Remember to check Puppeteer Troubleshooting
- Puppeteer and Chrome Headless as base headless browser.
- ZombieJs as inspiration of the assertion library.
- NightmareJs as inspiration for part of the browser interface.
