codeceptJSExample

Preface

This is a small example of a working codeceptJS test project using allure as test reporting tool.

I have created this example while evaluating codeceptJS.

I'm working on OSX and have not tested whether any of this works on Windows or Linux.

Installation

I assume you have installed nodeJS, mpn and allure on your computer. Once you have done this, the rest is easy

• clone this repository

• open a console in the cloned repository and type:

  npm install
  npx codeceptjs run --steps --plugins allure
  allure serve output
  

The installation should start. After installation is finished three tests should be executed. Finally the allure server should start and open a browser window presenting the test result.

Intention

With this example I want to show how to code tests using most features codeceptJS provides.

• The tests will open the german version of wikipedia and will search for an article
• All tests will do the same but using different approaches
• One test step is very simple just coding the flow
• With another test I want to show how to use fragments and steps
• The third example is coded using Gherkin

Advanced features

• In "./helpers/puppeteer_helper.js" you can find examples on how to code helpers for puppeteer.

• Running tests in parallel works like this:

  npx codeceptjs run-multiple --steps --all  --plugins allure
  allure serve output/*
  

• The Gherkin tests are executed first and are not executed in parallel to the rest of the tests
