Copycat - Testing Extension

(for jest-puppeteer)

This extension is built to ease creating web tests. It is like Selenium-IDE, but for jest-puppeteer (for now).

Also, this extension records actions on your own browser, so it doesn’t need to open up new Selenium or Puppeteer window to record your actions on it.

In recording state it records the events which are stated below with the target elements unique selector.

Supported Actions

Click origined events

Key originated events

Page change events

Verify events

Triggers with right click on the element and choose proper verify action.

Usage - Testing Environment

Installation of jest-puppeteer

# for jest 22~23
yarn add --save-dev jest-puppeteer@3.9.0 puppeteer jest
# for jest 24+
yarn add --save-dev jest-puppeteer puppeteer jest

or

# for jest 22~23
npm install --save-dev jest-puppeteer@3.9.0 puppeteer jest
# for jest 24+
npm install --save-dev jest-puppeteer puppeteer jest

Update Jest configuration

Create jest.config.js in the root of your testing environment.

module.exports = {
  "preset": "jest-puppeteer"
}

Creating __tests__ folder

To work with default jest-puppeteer preset, you need to put your test files into the __tests__ folder in the root of your testing environment.

Basic Test Output Code

Following test example in the GIF will generate such code. It starts in my GitHub Profile and clicks one of the pinned repositories (testing-extension) and when page changes it checks for the repository title’s href is https://github.com/omergulen/copycat or not.

describe('Test 1', () => {
    beforeAll(async () => {
        await page.goto('https://github.com/omergulen');
    });
    it('Test 1 - 1', async () => {
        await Promise.all([
            page.click(':nth-child(2) > .Box > .pinned-item-list-item-content > .d-flex > .text-bold > .repo'),
            page.waitForNavigation()
        ]);
        var nodeLink = await page.$$eval('strong > a', el => el[0].href)
        expect(nodeLink).toBe('https://github.com/omergulen/copycat');
    }, 60000);
});

Update Puppeteer configuration (optional)

Create jest-puppeteer.config.js in the root of your testing environment.

module.exports = {
  launch: {
    headless: false, // Disable headless chromium
    defaultViewport: null // Set page fit to the browser
  },
  browserContext: 'default',
}

Adding test command to the project configuration

In your project’s package.json file, insert "test": "jest" line into the "scripts" object.

It will basicly look something like that:

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "jest"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "jest-puppeteer": "^4.3.0"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "jest": "^24.8.0",
    "puppeteer": "^1.19.0"
  }
}

Running tests

yarn run test or npm run test will do.
