@vscode/test-web

This module helps testing VS Code web extensions locally.

Test Status Badge npm Package NPM Downloads

See the web extensions guide to learn about web extensions.

The node module runs a local web server that serves VS Code in the browser including the extension under development. Additionally the extension tests are automatically run.

The node module provides a command line as well as an API.

Usage

Via command line:

Test a web extension in a browser:

vscode-test-web --browserType=chromium --extensionDevelopmentPath=$extensionLocation

Run web extension tests:

vscode-test-web --browserType=chromium --extensionDevelopmentPath=$extensionLocation --extensionTestsPath=$extensionLocation/dist/web/test/suite/index.js

Open VS Code in the Browser on a folder with test data from the local disk:

vscode-test-web --browserType=chromium --extensionDevelopmentPath=$extensionLocation $testDataLocation

VS Code for the Web will open on a virtual workspace (scheme vscode-test-web), backed by a file system provider that gets the file/folder data from the local disk. Changes to the file system are kept in memory and are not written back to disk.

Open VS Code in the Browser with external network access:

vscode-test-web --browserType=chromium --browserOption=--disable-web-security extensionDevelopmentPath=$extensionLocation

This allows the extension being tested to make network requests to external hosts.

Via API:

async function go() {
  try {
    // The folder containing the Extension Manifest package.json
    const extensionDevelopmentPath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../');

    // The path to module with the test runner and tests
    const extensionTestsPath = path.resolve(__dirname, './suite/index');

    // Start a web server that serves VSCode in a browser, run the tests
    await runTests({
		browserType: 'chromium',
		extensionDevelopmentPath
		extensionTestsPath
	});
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Failed to run tests');
    process.exit(1);
  }
}

go()

CLI options:
