NOTE: 7/17/2024 The nightwatch was removed from this repo but this README and the test files still exist. The foundational manner that the app runs has changed and nightwatch was never updated. If there is a desired to use nightwatch again, try a newer version and update tests as necessary. Otherwise, we recommend using Cypress or Playwright.
To set up credentials for the tests to use, create a copy of /tests/browser/globals.js.sample
as /tests/browser/globals.js
and update the variables.
Note: There are currently known bugs between Selenium and the Firefox test browser. The Nightwatch tests will currently not work when running npm run test-firefox
. We recommend to only run tests in Chrome at the moment.
Run npm run test-chrome
and npm run test-firefox
to run tests in Chrome and Firefox, respectively. To run the tests on headless browsers of Chrome and Firefox together, run npm run test-browser
.
Custom Nightwatch assertions can be found in /tests/browser/assertions
. These extend the already available .assert
and .verify
assertions for any specific app related tests.
Custom Nightwatch commands can be found in /tests/browser/commands
. These are reusable commands that we need the browser to execute often.
Page Objects can be found in /tests/browser/pages
. They are a common end-to-end pattern used to wrap specific element selectors in pages found in an app.
