How to get user input in protractor tool - protractor

Actually I want to get user input from user whoever runs the script. I do not want to hardcode the testdata path in the script. for example when I run a script to test angularjs using protractor and javascript. User should be able to give path of the testdata, so that I can use that variable inside the script.

You can do this by passing in a params.testData value from the command line.
protractor conf.js --params.testData=D:\path\to\testdata.xlsx
Then in your test you will reference it using the global browser.params object. You will also need to use fs to read the file and process the data. Honestly, it would probably be easier if you created a .json file for the test data instead of an .xlsx but it looks there are libraries out there to help you parse an xlsx document already if you have to stick with that. Check this answer for some examples.
This code will not work as is but the basic idea will be something like this:
before(() => {
const testDataPath = browser.params.testData;
fs.readFile(testDataPath, (err, data) => {
if(err) { // fail? };
const testData = data;
// do some other stuff with test data ...
});
}
You are going to need to do some additional processing of the data from the .xlsx file to get it in the correct format but this should hopefully help get you on the right path.

Flutter write script for to write code in project

I have a file inside my Flutter-project. A simple .dart file which looks like this:
class EnLanguage implements BaseLanguage {
#override
Map<String, String> get language => {'test': 'test'};
}
Now my goal is that I write I script which I by executing goes through all my Project-files, searches for specific Strings ( the ones with a .tr ending) and adds it to the map in the class above (key and value are the same).
I couldn't find any way to achieve this. How does a simple script looks like that can write inside my project files? Im not asking for the whole logic, I just need a start. I couldn't find anything..
Have a look at the package dcli and specifically the pack command. It does a chunk of what you need.
Not quite certain what you mean by strings ending with a .tr.
But to process each script.
var project = DartProject.self.pathToPackage;
find('*.dart', workingDirectory: project)
.forEach((script) {
read(script). forEach((line) {
If (line. contains('.tr'))
{
Extract line...
Write to generated file..
}

Output text at the very end of custom Nx workspace generator

Is it possible to output/log text at the very end the workspace generator output?
I would like to notify the user of the next steps he/she should do, but my logs are kind of hidden above all the output generated by the tree updates.
export default async function (tree: Tree, schema: GeneratorOptions) {
await applicationGenerator(tree, {
// options go here
});
//format all the new files
await formatFiles(tree);
// log out next steps
logger.info('next steps');
logger.info('* Complete information in /src/environment files');
logger.info('* Adjust example routes in /src/app/app.tsx');
}
The code above results in the following output, as you can see my logs are completely at the top (and nobody would ever see them)
I was having the same problem and judging from this open issue it does not seem to be a way to do it.
What I ended up doing was wrapping the command to run the generator in a node script and then run that script instead:
import {execSync} from "child_process";
execSync('nx workspace-generator your-generator', {stdio: 'inherit'})
console.log('after')

Stop huge error output from testing-library

I love testing-library, have used it a lot in a React project, and I'm trying to use it in an Angular project now - but I've always struggled with the enormous error output, including the HTML text of the render. Not only is this not usually helpful (I couldn't find an element, here's the HTML where it isn't); but it gets truncated, often before the interesting line if you're running in debug mode.
I simply added it as a library alongside the standard Angular Karma+Jasmine setup.
I'm sure you could say the components I'm testing are too large if the HTML output causes my console window to spool for ages, but I have a lot of integration tests in Protractor, and they are SO SLOW :(.
I would say the best solution would be to use the configure method and pass a custom function for getElementError which does what you want.
You can read about configuration here: https://testing-library.com/docs/dom-testing-library/api-configuration
An example of this might look like:
configure({
getElementError: (message: string, container) => {
const error = new Error(message);
error.name = 'TestingLibraryElementError';
error.stack = null;
return error;
},
});
You can then put this in any single test file or use Jest's setupFiles or setupFilesAfterEnv config options to have it run globally.
I am assuming you running jest with rtl in your project.
I personally wouldn't turn it off as it's there to help us, but everyone has a way so if you have your reasons, then fair enough.
1. If you want to disable errors for a specific test, you can mock the console.error.
it('disable error example', () => {
const errorObject = console.error; //store the state of the object
console.error = jest.fn(); // mock the object
// code
//assertion (expect)
console.error = errorObject; // assign it back so you can use it in the next test
});
2. If you want to silence it for all the test, you could use the jest --silent CLI option. Check the docs
The above might even disable the DOM printing that is done by rtl, I am not sure as I haven't tried this, but if you look at the docs I linked, it says
"Prevent tests from printing messages through the console."
Now you almost certainly have everything disabled except the DOM recommendations if the above doesn't work. On that case you might look into react-testing-library's source code and find out what is used for those print statements. Is it a console.log? is it a console.warn? When you got that, just mock it out like option 1 above.
UPDATE
After some digging, I found out that all testing-library DOM printing is built on prettyDOM();
While prettyDOM() can't be disabled you can limit the number of lines to 0, and that would just give you the error message and three dots ... below the message.
Here is an example printout, I messed around with:
TestingLibraryElementError: Unable to find an element with the text: Hello ther. This could be because the text is broken up by multiple elements. In this case, you can provide a function for your text matcher to make your matcher more flexible.
...
All you need to do is to pass in an environment variable before executing your test suite, so for example with an npm script it would look like:
DEBUG_PRINT_LIMIT=0 npm run test
Here is the doc
UPDATE 2:
As per the OP's FR on github this can also be achieved without injecting in a global variable to limit the PrettyDOM line output (in case if it's used elsewhere). The getElementError config option need to be changed:
dom-testing-library/src/config.js
// called when getBy* queries fail. (message, container) => Error
getElementError(message, container) {
const error = new Error(
[message, prettyDOM(container)].filter(Boolean).join('\n\n'),
)
error.name = 'TestingLibraryElementError'
return error
},
The callstack can also be removed
You can change how the message is built by setting the DOM testing library message building function with config. In my Angular project I added this to test.js:
configure({
getElementError: (message: string, container) => {
const error = new Error(message);
error.name = 'TestingLibraryElementError';
error.stack = null;
return error;
},
});

Frontend headless browser testing using CasperJS and configuration-files?

I tried to use CasperJS for headless browser testing using PhantomJS and wanted to have a config file or something to change Website URL, Username passwords etc. So finally I found NuclearJS. Do you guys know any other perfect way to do this? If I wanted to write a one from the scratch would like to know about as well.
I got a solution (not perfect ;) ) that is using multiple configfiles (for selector, execution, desktop, mobile, etc).
I include a in the execution of my casperjs tests a file that offers me all configs i need (i include also global functions there).
Lets guess the test execution looks like that:
casperjs test --includes=loadGlobals.js test_1.js
In the that example loadGlobals.js contains functions like that:
var fs = require('fs');
var config = {},
configFile = fs.read('config.json');
config = JSON.parse(configFile);
Probalby the config.json is looking like that:
{
"url": "http://www.yourTestUrl.com",
"variable_1": "bla",
"variable_2": "blub",
"nextTier": {
"variable_1": "blablub"
}
}
Now you can call in the test_1.js the variables of the config.json:
casper.start(config.url, function() {
casper.then(function() {
casper.echo(config.variable_1);
casper.echo(config.variable_2);
casper.echo(config.nextTier.variable_1);
});
})
casper.run();
You can use like that different configurationfiles, even to override it during tests if nessacary.
The tests should be written in the page object pattern style so they are highly maintable, espacially with a outsourced configuration.
NuclearJS i didn't know, but i will take a look into it, too.

Eclipse - Export/Save Search Results

Eclipse's Search results view is quite handy with its tree-like structure. Is there any way to export these results to a readable text format or save them to a file for later use?
I've tried using copy & paste but the resulting text format is far from readable.
You can change the mode from tree to list by click 'upper-right corner triangle' ->'show in list', then just copy all the files in the list , it will be a perfect list of search result
I'm using Eclipse Search CSV Export.
No I don't think there is a possibility to export the results yet. (Update: Now there's a suitable plugin available). But you should be able to use the eclipse search framework programmatically an export the entries by yourself.
I did not test the following snipped but implemeted a custom search that way once (using the RetrieverAction class). You should be able to listen to search result changes without the action as well:
TextSearchQueryProvider provider= TextSearchQueryProvider.getPreferred();
// your input (you'll have to implement that one I think...)
TextSearchInput input = new TextSearchQueryProvider.TextSearchInput();
ISearchQuery query= provider.createQuery(input);
ISearchResult result = query.getSearchResult();
result.addListener(new ISearchResultListener() {
public void searchResultChanged(SearchResultEvent e) {
// -> export result
}
});
// run the query
NewSearchUI.runQueryInBackground(query);
Again: I did not test that at all and don't know if there is a better approach as well..
