Configurable cross browser functional / acceptance test launcher (using Webdriver)
npm install kommando
kommando is a configurable cross browser functional / acceptance test launcher
(using Webdriver).
It helps you to get started writing functional cross browser tests using JavaScript without knowing
details how to properly setup the various Webdriver servers locally, while still allowing to run
your created tests on an existing Selenium Grid
(including SauceLabs).
For each test launch you can configure a test-runner that should be used to execute tests (currently
jasmine-node, mocha) or
cucumber and you can tell which Webdriver JS lib should be
used to create a Webdriver client session (e.g.
selenium-webdriver, leadfoot,
wd or cabbie) per browser.
The configured Webdriver client session then gets injected into the test runner execution context and
can then be used there.
This project is aimed for finding the best suited approach to write your functional cross browser
tests using JavaScript by allowing you to choose a test style (jasmine, mocha) you already are
familiar with and using a Webdriver JS library that you like the most. To simplify working with the
promise-based API of selenium-webdriver kommando
contains runner modules that tie the test runner to the control-flow of this promise-based API.
- Java (>= 1.7 if you want to use iOS-Driver)
- [optional] Appium (can be installed through npm install appium -g)
~~~bash
npm install kommando -g
~~~
Kommando provides a REPL runner which you can use to play with an individual Webdriver library.
~~~bash
~~~js
// mytest.js (using jasmine syntax)
describe('github', function() {
it('reads the "title"', function(done) {
// the global "kommando.browser" provides the initialized Webdriver session
// using "selenium-webdriver" as default Webdriver library
kommando.browser.get('https://www.github.com').then(function() {
return kommando.browser.findElement(kommando.webdriver.By.className('heading'));
}).then(function(heading) {
return heading.getText();
}).then(function(text) {
expect(text).toBe('Build software better, together.');
}).then(done, done); // handle promise error / success within "it"
});
});
~~~
You can invoke kommando either via command-line:
~~~bash
or via Node.js:
~~~js
// also executing tests using PhantomJS
var kommando = require('kommando');
kommando({
tests: ['./mytest.js']
});
~~~
Executing test in Chrome, Firefox and PhantomJS using CLI:
~~~bash
kommando -b chrome -b firefox -b phantomjs mytest.js
~~~
or via Node.js:
~~~js
var kommando = require('kommando');
kommando({
browsers: ['chrome', 'firefox', 'phantomjs'],
tests: ['./mytest.js']
});
~~~
Thanks to Protractor for the initial idea of this project
and its jasminewd helper.
