Ember Addon Tests

Ember Addon Tests provides declarative test helpers for testing ember addons.

Motivation

Ember addons provide a great developer experience for most integration test cases out of the box. The dummy app allows to test components and services provided by the addon in the context of a consuming application. Ember-try helps to test the addon against different versions of dependencies.

But Ember addons do not provide a great test story for some less common cases:

• Addon installation (ember install addon) and blueprints run by it.
• Customization of the build process of a consuming application (e.g. AST transforms registered, pre- or postprocessors for JavaScript and CSS).
• CLI commands provided by the addon.
• Middleware added to the development server (ember serve).

Ember Addon Tests tries to fill that gap. It's inspired by Ember CLI Addon Tests. It could be seen as a rewrite of Ember CLI Addon Tests using a modernized architecture utilizing yarn workspaces.

Installation

1. Ensure that ember-cli is installed globally.
2. Install ember-addon-tests in your project.

If using NPM:

npm install --global ember-cli
npm install --save-dev ember-addon-tests

If using Yarn:

yarn global add ember-cli
yarn add --dev ember-addon-tests

Usage

const TestProject = require('ember-addon-tests');
const { expect } = require('chai');
const axios = require('axios');
 
// Create a new test project
let testProject = new TestProject({
  projectRoot: '/path-to/npm-package/or/yarn-workspace-root',
});
 
// Create a new ember application within your test project
await testProject.createEmberApp();
 
// Install addon under test in the test project
await testProject.addOwnPackageAsDevDependency(
  'name-of-a-npm-package-within-project-root'
);
 
// Build the application
await testProject.runEmberCommand('build', '--prod');
 
// Do some assertions against build
expect(
  await fs.stat(path.join(testProject.path, 'dist', 'vendor.js')).size
).to.be.lessThan(1 * 1024 * 1024);
 
// Start Ember's development server
await testProject.startEmberServer();
 
// Do some assertions against the running development server
let response = await axios.get('http://localhost:4200');
expect(response.headers).to.include({
  'content-security-policy': "default-src: 'none';"
});
 
// Stop Ember's development server again
await testProject.stopEmberServer();

TestProject.createEmberApp() and TestProject.createEmberAddon() methods use globally installed Ember CLI to create a new Ember project. They will use whatever Ember version is installed globally. Upgrade or downgrade globally installed Ember CLI to test your addon against different Ember CLI versions.
