Testcafe: Docs: some recipes would be quite useful (discussion)

[VasilyStrelyaev]

• [x] Travis-CI + SauceLabs (#775)
• [x] AppVeyor
• [x] Travis-CI with phantomjs or Chrome (you don't need SauceLabs to run test in Chrome)
• [x] Using with Gulp
• [x] Using with Grunt
• [x] Testing on Remote Computers and Mobile Devices
• [x] Debugging
  
  
  
  • [x] Visual Studio Code
  
  
  • [x] WebStorm
  
  
  • [x] Chrome Dev Tools
  
  
• [x] "page model" pattern (#724)
• [x] circleci (react, vue, angular)
• [x] Jenkins and TeamCity

@AndreyBelym is working on Travis-CI with phantomjs or Chrome (you don't need SauceLabs to run test in Chrome)

[AlexanderMoskovkin]

I'm working on "page model" pattern

[miherlosev]

Also add recipes for

• circleci (react, vue, angular)
• houndci (bootstrap)

[VasilyStrelyaev]

Working on the using with gulp recipe

[AlexanderMoskovkin]

I've added one more idea: Using with Grunt (https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-testcafe)

[georgiy-abbasov]

I think, recipe with TDD example may be usefull

[mjhea0]

In terms of circleci, my tests are just working with the following in my circle.yml file:

machine:
  node:
    version: 7.6.0

I tested breaking changes as well. Works.

[miherlosev]

hi @mjhea0
We will create a recipe for circle ci in one of the upcoming sprints

[mjhea0]

@miherlosev thanks!

how about coupling testcafe with a bdd tool?

[miherlosev]

What bdd tool do you want to couple with testcafe?

[mjhea0]

I saw the cucumberjs example -> https://github.com/helen-dikareva/testcafe-cucumber-demo/blob/master/features/step_definitions/github.js. Looks good!

I would love to be able to use mocha, but as of now mocha needs the tests to be ran with mocha to expose the API -> https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/issues/1849. This looks like a similar issue for testcafe. Any way to programmatically require or import in the necessary methods so I can just use mocha as the runner?

[inikulin]

@mjhea0 I'm not sure it will be possible to cooperate mocha with TestCafe, since later uses a lot of magic in test and fixture calls, so you will need to use them, instead of mocha's methods. However, we have a feature request open to support BDD style tests (nested fixtures + reporting): https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/792 Add your 👍 to the issue if you are interested and we consider adding it to the planned feature list.

[mjhea0]

Do you have any recipes for circle 2.0? @inikulin

[inikulin]

@mjhea0 We don't have any recipes for circle at the moment.

[mjhea0]

I have circle 1 complete. I am working through Circle 2 at the moment. Happy to add them as recipes when I get Circle 2 working.

Running into some problems with xvfb and the display. Can I show you what I have thus far?

[inikulin]

@mjhea0 Sure, feel free to share anything you have.

[rstudner]

@mjhea0 - i'm about to start trying to use testcafe w/ circle 2.0. Any more luck on that?

[mjhea0]

@rstudner Yes, I got it working. I'll share the script with you later today.

[mjhea0]

@rstudner I have not looked at this in like 4 months, but here it is:

version: 2

defaults: &defaults
  docker:
    - image: circleci/node:7-browsers
  working_directory: ~/tests

jobs:
  build:
    <<: *defaults
    parallelism: 1
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: Install dependencies
          command: |
            npm install testcafe
      - run:
          name: Run tests
          command: |
            mkdir /tmp/artifacts;
            testcafe chrome 'tests/test.js' -S -s tmp/artifacts

[eltiare]

Is there any support for WebStorm debugging?

[VasilyStrelyaev]

@eltiare, we've just published a topic about debugging in WebStorm:
https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/recipes/debug-in-webstorm.html

[eltiare]

@VasilyStrelyaev: awesome. Thank you!
