End to end tests for the cectf project.
These tests are run against the staging environment, which is an almost identical deployment to the production environment. This project is managed on Travis CI, which triggers a test run every night to ensure nothing has crashed. Test runs are also triggered whenever a commit is pushed to the master branch, and can also be triggered manually in Travis CI whenever desired.
These tests are built with Nightmare JS, a lightweight, headless browser automation library that runs on Electron. I also considered Selenium, but setting up all the required selenium dependencies, chromedriver, and getting XVFB working on Travis CI is a substantial amount of work. If the project grows substantially I may migrate it.
Installation should be as simple as running npm install. It's possible that you may also need to run sudo apt-get install -y libgconf-2-4.
To run the test suite against the staging environment, use npm test.
To run the test suite against a development environment, use npm run test-dev. This script will use the jest.dev.config.js jest configuration file instead of the default jest.config.js. You can edit this file to make debugging tests easier: set CECTF_SHOW_TEST_WINDOW to true to show the test window so you can see what is happening, and set CECTF_SHOW_DEVTOOLS to true to automatically open chromium devtools so you can inspect the DOM and run commands in the console.
