|
|||
Node.js package for testing with WebDriver. Its ecosystem also includes various plugins
|
||||
(e.g. reporter and services) that can help you put together your test setup.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have an existing WebdriverIO setup, it is recommended to update your dependencies and validate your existing configuration with how it is [outlined in the docs](https://webdriver.io/docs/desktop-testing/electron#configuration).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install the test runner
|
||||
|
||||
First you need to run the WebdriverIO starter toolkit in your project root directory:
|
||||
If you don't use WebdriverIO in your project yet, you can add it by running the starter toolkit in your project root directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh npm2yarn
|
||||
npx wdio . --yes
|
||||
npm init wdio@latest ./
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This installs all necessary packages for you and generates a `wdio.conf.js` configuration file.
|
||||
This starts a configuration wizard that helps you put together the right setup, installs all necessary packages, and generates a `wdio.conf.js` configuration file. Make sure to select _"Desktop Testing - of Electron Applications"_ on one of the first questions asking _"What type of testing would you like to do?"_.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Connect WDIO to your Electron app
|
||||
|
||||
Update the capabilities in your configuration file to point to your Electron app binary:
|
||||
After running the configuration wizard, your `wdio.conf.js` should include roughly the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript title='wdio.conf.js'
|
||||
exports.config = {
|
||||
```js title='wdio.conf.js' @ts-nocheck
|
||||
export const config = {
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
services: ['electron'],
|
||||
capabilities: [{
|
||||
browserName: 'chrome',
|
||||
'goog:chromeOptions': {
|
||||
binary: '/path/to/your/electron/binary', // Path to your Electron binary.
|
||||
args: [/* cli arguments */] // Optional, perhaps 'app=' + /path/to/your/app/
|
||||
browserName: 'electron',
|
||||
'wdio:electronServiceOptions': {
|
||||
// WebdriverIO can automatically find your bundled application
|
||||
// if you use Electron Forge or electron-builder, otherwise you
|
||||
// can define it here, e.g.:
|
||||
// appBinaryPath: './path/to/bundled/application.exe',
|
||||
appArgs: ['foo', 'bar=baz']
|
||||
}
|
||||
}]
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Write your tests
|
||||
|
||||
Use the [WebdriverIO API](https://webdriver.io/docs/api) to interact with elements on the screen. The framework provides custom "matchers" that make asserting the state of your application easy, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
```js @ts-nocheck
|
||||
import { browser, $, expect } from '@wdio/globals'
|
||||
|
||||
describe('keyboard input', () => {
|
||||
it('should detect keyboard input', async () => {
|
||||
await browser.keys(['y', 'o'])
|
||||
await expect($('keypress-count')).toHaveText('YO')
|
||||
})
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, WebdriverIO allows you to access Electron APIs to get static information about your application:
|
||||
|
||||
```js @ts-nocheck
|
||||
import { browser, $, expect } from '@wdio/globals'
|
||||
|
||||
describe('when the make smaller button is clicked', () => {
|
||||
it('should decrease the window height and width by 10 pixels', async () => {
|
||||
const boundsBefore = await browser.electron.browserWindow('getBounds')
|
||||
expect(boundsBefore.width).toEqual(210)
|
||||
expect(boundsBefore.height).toEqual(310)
|
||||
|
||||
await $('.make-smaller').click()
|
||||
const boundsAfter = await browser.electron.browserWindow('getBounds')
|
||||
expect(boundsAfter.width).toEqual(200)
|
||||
expect(boundsAfter.height).toEqual(300)
|
||||
})
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or to retrieve other Electron process information:
|
||||
|
||||
```js @ts-nocheck
|
||||
import fs from 'node:fs'
|
||||
import path from 'node:path'
|
||||
import { browser, expect } from '@wdio/globals'
|
||||
|
||||
const packageJson = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'package.json'), { encoding: 'utf-8' }))
|
||||
const { name, version } = packageJson
|
||||
|
||||
describe('electron APIs', () => {
|
||||
it('should retrieve app metadata through the electron API', async () => {
|
||||
const appName = await browser.electron.app('getName')
|
||||
expect(appName).toEqual(name)
|
||||
const appVersion = await browser.electron.app('getVersion')
|
||||
expect(appVersion).toEqual(version)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
it('should pass args through to the launched application', async () => {
|
||||
// custom args are set in the wdio.conf.js file as they need to be set before WDIO starts
|
||||
const argv = await browser.electron.mainProcess('argv')
|
||||
expect(argv).toContain('--foo')
|
||||
expect(argv).toContain('--bar=baz')
|
||||
})
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
