vue-cli-plugin-e2e-nightwatch-browserstack

@vue/cli plugin for automated testing with Vue + Nightwatch + BrowserStack

Package Version NPM License

BrowserStack Status CircleCI

Installation

Note: this depends on @vue/cli-plugin-e2e-nightwatch

From an existing Vue cli application run:

vue add e2e-nightwatch-browserstack

This will install a /browserstack_config folder with a nightwatch.conf.js file and adds several scripts to the package.json to run the tests in different browsers.

This differs from npm:vue-cli-plugin-e2e-nightwatch-browserstack by integrating better with the e2e-nightwatch plugin.

This package assumes that @vue/cli-plugin-e2e-nightwatch has already been installed.

If you installed this one first, I advise deleting all traces of this and installing the nightwatch plugin first.

Fallback Installation (or for advanced users)

As a fallback, if the normal Vue installation does not work, try:

npm install -save-dev vue-cli-plugin-e2e-nightwatch-browserstack

and

vue invoke e2e-nightwatch-browserstack

Removing this package

  • delete node_modules
  • delete the folder browserstack_config
  • remove vue-cli-plugin-e2e-nightwatch-browserstack from package.json
  • remove all test:browserstack... commands from package.json.

If the expected files are not created (or you installed through npm install), try vue invoke e2e-nightwatch-browserstack

Usage

Configuration

Required ENV Vars

BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME and BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY are required to be set. These can be retrieved from your account settings at: https://www.browserstack.com/accounts/settings

BROWSERSTACK_PROJECT can be configured to split tests by project. The default name is "default_project"

This setting is unique and uses an ENV var so CircleCI can build this to the correct project for BrowserStack's Open Source project requirements.

File and Config Structure

This plugin uses its own Nightwatch config file. It does not inherit from package.json or from any other Nightwatch config files in the root directory.

All BrowserStack and NightwatchJS configurations can be set in the browserstack_config/nightwatch.conf.js file.

Run

npm run test:browserstack:chrome or replace chrome with firefox, safari, ie, android, ios

Testing without starting the dev server

--url flag is used to specify a url. This flag skips the dev server and passes the url to browserstack as part of the config.

Further Nightwatch commands could change the starting URL, but this is the one which will show up in the Browserstack UI.

Known Issues

TypeError: browser.assert.elementCount is not a function

asset.elementCount() is a sample custom-assertion. Make sure you set the custom assertions path in whichever nightwatch.conf.js you are using

Nightwatch Security Vulnerabilities or Not being used as the test runner

If you are using a previous version of @vue/cli such as "@vue/cli-plugin-e2e-nightwatch": "^3.8.0", which uses a version of Nightwatch before the Nightwatch CLI was implemented in 1.0.0, then there will be issues such as test runner inconsistencies or critical vulnerabilities.
