• Allow tests to use first/then to reuse javascript test code
• Adds node/promise to call regular node code

The first one enables one to write more reusable tests like this:

var Frontend = require('../lib/frontend').Frontend;

module.exports = {
    'customer can login and logout' : function(test){
        test.first(Frontend.login)
            .then(Frontend.logout)
            .done();
    },
    'has a customer profile': function(test){
        test.first(Frontend.login)
            .then(Frontend.verifyCustomerProfile)
            .then(Frontend.logout)
            .done();
    }
};

where the frontend library contains code that looks like this:

module.exports = {
    Frontend: {
        login: function() {
            return this.open('http://localhost:3000/login')
                       .type('#login-email', 'user')
                       .type('#login-password', 'secret')
                       .click('#login-submit')
                       .waitForElement('#logoutNavLink')
                       .assert.visible('#logoutNavLink')
                       .assert.attr('#logoutNavLink img', 'alt', 'Logout');
        },
        logout: function() {
            // ...
        },
        verifyCustomerProfile: function() {
            // ...
        }
    }
};

The second allows the test to execute node code like this:

var db = require('db');

module.exports = {
    'customer can login and logout' : function(test){
        test.node(function(done) {
               db.createTestUser(done);
             })
            .first(Frontend.login)
            .then(Frontend.logout)
            .done();
    },
    'has a customer profile': function(test){
        test.node(function(done) {
               db.createTestUser(done);
             })
            .first(Frontend.login)
            .then(Frontend.verifyCustomerProfile)
            .then(Frontend.logout)
            .done();
    }
};

I'm not getting error messages / stack traces of problems my tests may have. Instead I'm presented with the utterly useless (and easy to miss) message "WARNING: done not called!".

I need to see what I did wrong here. Tests need to halt. This is a JavaScript error. I tried to invoke a function that doesn't exist. My test is flawed - stop and yell!

{
  foo: function(test) {
    test
      // Note that this should be .assert.doesntExist()
      .doesntExist('.selector')
      // this isn't called
      .done();
  }
}

I've added additional selector parameter to screenshot method, that allow to make screenshot only selected element. Also when is making css refactoring we need to check that we have not modified page appearence. So I've added additional assert method that compare screenshot with some stored etalon png image. My changes contain modification in two modules:

1. dalek.

• Modified screenshot action to support selector of the element

    test.open('http://google.com')
       .wait(500)
       .screenshot('test/screenshots/google.png','#lga')
       .done();

• Added screenshotIsEqualTo action that allow to check if previously created screenshot is equal to stored image, and create image diff if it necessary.

    test.open('http://google.com')
       .wait(500)
       .screenshot('test/screenshots/google.png','#lga')
       .assert.screenshotIsEqualTo('test/screenshots/google_etalon.png', true, 'Google Doodles')
       .done();

1. dalek-driver-native. fork of dalek-driver-native Added Image lib that support necessary for changes in dalek operations. Image lib relies on node-pngjs lib, that is simple pure js lib for work with png files.

I was inspired by @stoyanstefanov post (http://www.phpied.com/css-diffs-2/)

I'm quite new in github and open source contribution, so please let me know if I'm doing something in wrong way.

Hi, I'm trying to make a Dockerfile to run Dalek:

FROM ubuntu:14.04
MAINTAINER Lorenzo Mele <[email protected]>

# update packages before install
RUN apt-get update

# install nodejs
RUN apt-get install nodejs npm -y
RUN ln `which nodejs` /usr/bin/node

# install Dalekjs
RUN npm install dalek-cli -g
# install the Dalek base framework & all its dependencies
RUN npm install dalekjs --save-dev

Then I built the image: sudo docker build -t "local/dalek" . Finally I entered in the VM: sudo docker run -i -t "local/dalek" /bin/bash

I created the file test/my_first_test.js as described here, then I launch the test and this is what appens:

root@a4a525e451da:/mnt/cwd# dalek test/my_first_test.js  -l 5
Running tests
☁ [SYSTEM] dalek-internal-driver: Loading driver: "native"
root@a4a525e451da:/mnt/cwd# 

What am I missing to make the test work?

This might not be an easy one, but I'll ask anyway :smile:

The scenario could be like this:

Imagine a site, where we have to test a lot of different things after for example having logged on first.

So, I imagine it would be better if we could somehow have a reusable setup function in which we first setup our complete login (with an assertion that it was successful, otherwise the whole test or tests should fail). After the actual test, the reusable teardown function would then log the user out.

The setup and teardown functionality would probably itself be based on the testing functionality with a few extensions...

What do you think?

(at least on Windows anyhow)

Whenever I try to use log.message(), in any form, the test either stalls when it reaches that instruction, or the test "ends" immediately displaying the current number of assertions, but without exiting the process (I need to Ctrl+Break to exit it), or it's simply skipped without outputting any messages at all.

I haven't been able to get any of the log features working at all (message() and dom()).

Having an issue with the current stable version of DalekJS. I just did a clean install and tried to the run the quickstart 'Write your first test' test; But Dalek just exits after saying "Running tests"

I just tried to use the current Canary build

DalekJS CLI Tools Version: 0.0.2 DalekJS Canary local install: 0.0.1-2013-08-21-14-28-59

And got the following error: -

/projecta/core/node_modules/dalekjs-canary/node_modules/dalek-browser-phantomjs-canary/index.js:255

var browsers = this.config.get('browsers'); ^ TypeError: Cannot call method 'get' of undefined

Hi, I know this is sort of a duplicate of the closed issue #77 , but I still get the error {'0': undefined} when trying to use setValue to clear an input. In #77 it says it has been fixed in canary, I am using v0.0.8 so should I expect this to be fixed in this build?

Also what version is the .clear method going to be added (mentioned in #111) for just running in phantomJS?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

i started to create tests in Dalek on OSX, and then we tried to test them on Windows as well.

What happens:

• Chrome opens
• Form fields are filled

[2556:6332:0519/155517:ERROR:ipc_channel_win.cc(405)] pipe error: 232
[2556:6332:0519/155517:ERROR:ipc_channel_win.cc(405)] pipe error: 232
[2556:6332:0519/155517:ERROR:ipc_channel_win.cc(405)] pipe error: 232

• intended click is never sent to chrome.

Same happens for IE, Firefox and PhantomJS

I would appriciate any hint how to get it working on windows :smile:

Bind this to the current test at execution. Semantic: "this is the current test".

No need to use a function argument for accessing DSL.

Example Code:

module.exports = {
    // Checks if the <title> of ´github.com´ has the expected value
    'Page title is correct': function () {
        'use strict';
        this.expect(1);

        this
            .open('http://github.com')
            .assert.title('GitHub')
            .done();
    }
};

Also set test via the arguments array to backward compatibility.

I've also tried to add a test for this, but there is not so much base-tests to extend ... So I'm not so deep enough into dalek to create the initial test-suite.

I am trying to add a right click action to DalekJS. Current commit doesn't perform a right click action.

I am trying to send a {button = 2} parameter to a WebDriver API according to the W3C documentation

I tried the following options with no result:

var rightButton = {'button': '2'};
var rightButton = 'right';
var rightButton = '2';

I am guessing that this line doesn't call WebDriver API directly, does it? What shall I do in order to pass {button = 2} parameter further to the WebDriver API?

P.S. traling spaces are removed as specified in the .editorconfig file.

I am using Windows 10 x64 version 1607 - build 14393.222. DalekJS version: C:\Users\Administrator>dalek -v DalekJS CLI Tools Version: 0.0.5 Brought to you with love by: Sebastian Golasch (@asciidisco) 2013

NodeJS installation was successful - node-v6.8.0-x64.msi "npm install dalek-cli -g" command was successful "npm install dalekjs --save-dev" - this command was hung for over 8 hours.

See snapshot attached.

This question is likely better suited for the IRC channel, but I am having trouble accessing it. From your comments here, and here, it seems like there were plans to support the ability to capture errors from requests triggered by a page that are logged to the console.

Even when I set the log level to 5 it doesn't seem to show the status of all requests triggered by going to a page, specifically any requests that returns a 500. Is this currently possible with Dalek or do you still have plans to support this in the future?

Thank you, and love the framework.

can i use regular expressions in the .type or .setValue method? for example: I have a field that keeps changing its ID -> customfield_{random number}

if you guys could answer i would be really glad. thx!
