qcumberbatch

A variety of bridge steps between cucumberjs and webdriverjs.

The approach taken here I'm calling 'Selenium Mappings Model'. Read about it!

Getting Started

For local testing, you will need Firefox to test Firefox, Chrome and the Chrome Driver to test Chrome, and the Selenium Standalone Server to test Safari, IE, or [Opera][op]. (The qcumberbatch cucumber grunt task works well with a standalone grunt task.)

For Browserstack testing, you will need a Browserstack account with time on the Automate product.

Cucumber task

Run this task with the grunt cucumber command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the Grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Options

matrix

Type: Object Default: {}

Specify the list of OS and Browser versions to test. The keys of the object are strings specifying "<os> [version] [resolution]". The values are an array of strings, each entry being one of "browser [version]".

Each of the properties' values are constrained by the Browserstack and Selenium Webdriver configuration and documentation. To run local tests, specify local for the OS, and no version or resolution. To run tests against browserstack, specify OSX or Windows for the OS, a Browserstack version for the os version (XP, 8.1, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, etc). Locally, browsers can be anything loaded from selenium-webdriver/Capabilities. On Browserstack, specify an appropriate name and version. To test on a mobile device, set os as one of android or ios; set resolution to landscape or portrait; and put the entire device name in the browser array.

A complete example:

matrix:
    "Windows 8.1 1280x1024": [
        'IE 11.0'
        'Chrome 36.0'
    ]
    "Windows XP 1024x768": [
        'Firefox 31.0'
    ]
    "OS X Mavericks 1920x1080": [
        'Safari 7.0'
        'Firefox 31.0'
        'Chrome 36.0'
    ]
    "ios portrait": [
        'iPad 4th Gen'
    ]
    "android landscape": [
        'Google Nexus 7'
    ]

failHard

Type: boolean Default: false

If true, stop the grunt task after the first error in a selenium test. Otherwise, will run tests on the entire device matrix, and only fail after all tests have completed.

steps

format

Type: string Default: ""

These have the same meanings as their cucumberjs CLI counterparts.
