litefoot

1.0.0 • Public • Published

litefoot

Run your own tests in a real browser with selenium then stream the results out. Uses leadfoot under the hood.

NPM

install

npm install litefoot --save-dev

usage

Install and run a Selenium Server.

Add a test target to your scripts of your package.json:

{
  "name": "myapp",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "litefoot --url=http://localhost:3000/test.html"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "litefoot": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

Then run the command npm test to run your test URL in a real browser via selenium.

notifying litefoot

Your test suite can communicate with litefoot using a global variable stack: window.NOTIFY_LITEFOOT

When your tests are done, push an object to the stack:

window.NOTIFY_LITEFOOT.push({ type: 'done', passed: 2, failed: 1 })

An example adapter if you're using QUnit:

window.NOTIFY_LITEFOOT = []
function notifyLitefoot(type, payload) {
  payload.type = type
  payload.id = type + Date.now()
  window.NOTIFY_LITEFOOT.push(payload)
}
QUnit.begin(function(data) { notifyLitefoot('begin', data) })
QUnit.done(function(data) { notifyLitefoot('done', data) })
QUnit.testDone(function(data) { notifyLitefoot('testDone', data) })
QUnit.log(function(data) { notifyLitefoot('log', data) })

and now litefoot will know and report more info about the lifecycle of your test suite.
