This project is a Schematics implementation that allows you to easily integrate Nightwatch into your Angular projects.

This Schematic will:

⚙️ Add NPM scripts for running Nightwatch tests
📦 Scaffold base Nightwatch config and test files
Prompt for removal of Protractor files and configuration

Angular

Demo

Nightwatch Schematics Demo

🚀 Usage

Run as one command in an Angular CLI app directory. Note this will add the schematic as a dependency to your project.

ng add @nightwatch/schematics

One can provide following options:

Option Description
noBuilder This will skip the builder addition, leaving the angular.json file unmodified and requiring you to run Nightwatch from the command line or through your IDE. Include --noBuilder in your ng add command.

With the custom builder installed, you can run Nightwatch with the following commands:

ng e2e
ng run {your-project-name}:nightwatch-run

These two commands do the same thing. They will run nightwatch e2e tests.

Once Nightwatch is added to your project, all Nightwatch CLI options will be available when triggering e2e tests. E.g.: --verbose, --retries etc.

👩🏽‍💻 Development

Getting Started

🛠️ Node.js and npm are required for the scripts. Make sure it's installed on your machine.

⬇️ Install the dependencies for the schematic and the sandbox application

npm i && cd sandbox && npm i && cd ..

🖇 Link the schematic in the sandbox to run locally

npm run link:sandbox

🏃 Run the schematic

npm run build:clean:launch

🧪 E2E Testing

Execute the schematic against the sandbox. It will add Nightwatch config, tests, and custom builder, then run e2e tests in the sandbox.

npm run test

🧪 Unit Testing

Run the unit tests using Jasmine as a runner and test framework

npm run build:test
npm run test:unit

♻️ Reset the Sandbox

Running the schematic locally performs file system changes. The sandbox is version-controlled so that viewing a diff of the changes is trivial. After the schematic has run locally, reset the sandbox with the following.

npm run clean
