It's great how you can describe key elements of a page using the elements object in nightwatch's PageObject.
A very basic test of "is the page rendered correctly?" seems to consist of a string of asserts that every element is visible:
'Does it look right' : function (browser) {
browser.page.welcome()
.navigate()
.assert.title('My App')
.assert.visible('#header')
.assert.visible('#usernameField')
.assert.visible('#passwordField')
.assert.visible('#forgotPasswordLink')
.assert.visible('#signupButton')
Is there a more efficient way to do this?
You can run a script with your custom logic and then test against that
var script = function () {
//some logic or query selector test
return foo;
};
module.exports = {
'Test PCC': function (browser) {
var test;
browser
url('foo')
.waitForElementVisible('body', 1000)
.execute(script, [], function (response) {
console.log(response);
test = response.value;
})
//assert. test is something
.end();
}
};

I've come across different types of syntax for Protractor's Page Objects and I was wondering, what's their background and which way is suggested.
This is the official PageObject syntax from Protractor's tutorial. I like it the most, because it's clear and readable:
use strict;
var AngularHomepage = function() {
var nameInput = element(by.model('yourName'));
var greeting = element(by.binding('yourName'));
this.get = function() {
browser.get('http://www.angularjs.org');
};
this.setName = function(name) {
nameInput.sendKeys(name);
};
this.getGreeting = function() {
return greeting.getText();
};
};
module.exports = AngularHomepage;
However, I've also found this kind:
'use strict';
var AngularPage = function () {
browser.get('http://www.angularjs.org');
};
AngularPage.prototype = Object.create({}, {
todoText: { get: function () { return element(by.model('todoText')); }},
addButton: { get: function () { return element(by.css('[value="add"]')); }},
yourName: { get: function () { return element(by.model('yourName')); }},
greeting: { get: function () { return element(by.binding('yourName')).getText(); }},
todoList: { get: function () { return element.all(by.repeater('todo in todos')); }},
typeName: { value: function (keys) { return this.yourName.sendKeys(keys); }} ,
todoAt: { value: function (idx) { return this.todoList.get(idx).getText(); }},
addTodo: { value: function (todo) {
this.todoText.sendKeys(todo);
this.addButton.click();
}}
});
module.exports = AngularPage;
What are the pros/cons of those two approaches (apart from readability)? Is the second one up-to-date? I've seen that WebdriverIO uses that format.
I've also heard from one guy on Gitter that the first entry is inefficient. Can someone explain to me why?
Page Object Model framework becomes popular mainly because of:
Less code duplicate
Easy to maintain for long
High readability
So, generally we develop test framework(pom) for our convenience based on testing scope and needs by following suitable framework(pom) patterns. There are NO such rules which says that, strictly we should follow any framework.
NOTE: Framework is, to make our task easy, result oriented and effective
In your case, 1st one looks good and easy. And it does not leads to confusion or conflict while in maintenance phase of it.
Example: 1st case-> element locator's declaration happens at top of each page. It would be easy to change in case any element locator changed in future.
Whereas in 2nd case, locators declared in block level(scatter across the page). It would be a time taking process to identify and change the locators if required in future.
So, Choose which one you feel comfortable based on above points.
I prefer to use ES6 class syntax (http://es6-features.org/#ClassDefinition). Here, i prepared some simple example how i work with page objects using ES6 classes and some helpful tricks.
var Page = require('../Page')
var Fragment = require('../Fragment')
class LoginPage extends Page {
constructor() {
super('/login');
this.emailField = $('input.email');
this.passwordField = $('input.password');
this.submitButton = $('button.login');
this.restorePasswordButton = $('button.restore');
}
login(username, password) {
this.email.sendKeys(username);
this.passwordField.sendKeys(password);
this.submit.click();
}
restorePassword(email) {
this.restorePasswordButton.click();
new RestorePasswordModalWindow().submitEmail(email);
}
}
class RestorePasswordModalWindow extends Fragment {
constructor() {
//Passing element that will be used as this.fragment;
super($('div.modal'));
}
submitEmail(email) {
//This how you can use methods from super class, just example - it is not perfect.
this.waitUntilAppear(2000, 'Popup should appear before manipulating');
//I love to use fragments, because they provides small and reusable parts of page.
this.fragment.$('input.email').sendKeys(email);
this.fragment.$('button.submit')click();
this.waitUntilDisappear(2000, 'Popup should disappear before manipulating');
}
}
module.exports = LoginPage;
// Page.js
class Page {
constructor(url){
//this will be part of page to add to base URL.
this.url = url;
}
open() {
//getting baseURL from params object in config.
browser.get(browser.params.baseURL + this.url);
return this; // this will allow chaining methods.
}
}
module.exports = Page;
// Fragment.js
class Fragment {
constructor(fragment) {
this.fragment = fragment;
}
//Example of some general methods for all fragments. Notice that default method parameters will work only in node.js 6.x
waitUntilAppear(timeout=5000, message) {
browser.wait(this.EC.visibilityOf(this.fragment), timeout, message);
}
waitUntilDisappear(timeout=5000, message) {
browser.wait(this.EC.invisibilityOf(this.fragment), timeout, message);
}
}
module.exports = Fragment;
// Then in your test:
let loginPage = new LoginPage().open(); //chaining in action - getting LoginPage instance in return.
loginPage.restorePassword('batman#gmail.com'); // all logic is hidden in Fragment object
loginPage.login('superman#gmail.com')
When user refresh a certain page, I want to set some initial values from the mongoDB database.
I tried using the onRendered method, which in the documentation states will run when the template that it is run on is inserted into the DOM. However, the database is not available at that instance?
When I try to access the database from the function:
Template.scienceMC.onRendered(function() {
var currentRad = radiationCollection.find().fetch()[0].rad;
}
I get the following error messages:
Exception from Tracker afterFlush function:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'rad' of undefined
However, when I run the line radiationCollection.find().fetch()[0].rad; in the console I can access the value?
How can I make sure that the copy of the mongoDB is available?
The best way for me was to use the waitOn function in the router. Thanks to #David Weldon for the tip.
Router.route('/templateName', {
waitOn: function () {
return Meteor.subscribe('collectionName');
},
action: function () {
// render all templates and regions for this route
this.render();
}
});
You need to setup a proper publication (it seems you did) and subscribe in the route parameters. If you want to make sure that you effectively have your data in the onRendered function, you need to add an extra step.
Here is an example of how to make it in your route definition:
this.templateController = RouteController.extend({
template: "YourTemplate",
action: function() {
if(this.isReady()) { this.render(); } else { this.render("yourTemplate"); this.render("loading");}
/*ACTION_FUNCTION*/
},
isReady: function() {
var subs = [
Meteor.subscribe("yoursubscription1"),
Meteor.subscribe("yoursubscription2")
];
var ready = true;
_.each(subs, function(sub) {
if(!sub.ready())
ready = false;
});
return ready;
},
data: function() {
return {
params: this.params || {}, //if you have params
yourData: radiationCollection.find()
};
}
});
In this example you get,in the onRendered function, your data both using this.data.yourData or radiationCollection.find()
EDIT: as #David Weldon stated in comment, you could also use an easier alternative: waitOn
I can't see your collection, so I can't guarantee that rad is a key in your collection, that said I believe your problem is that you collection isn't available yet. As #David Weldon says, you need to guard or wait on your subscription to be available (remember it has to load).
What I do in ironrouter is this:
data:function(){
var currentRad = radiationCollection.find().fetch()[0].rad;
if (typeof currentRad != 'undefined') {
// if typeof currentRad is not undefined
return currentRad;
}
}
I'm trying to return window.performance object from the web page back to casper's scope with the following code but I'm getting null. Can someone explain why?
performance = casper.evaluate ->
return window.performance
#echo performance
PhantomJS 1.x doesn't implement window.performance, so you can't use it.
PhantomJS 2.0.0 implements it, but it doesn't implement the window.performance.toJSON() function. The problem with PhantomJS is that you have to access this information through evaluate(), but it has the following limitation:
Note: The arguments and the return value to the evaluate function must be a simple primitive object. The rule of thumb: if it can be serialized via JSON, then it is fine.
Closures, functions, DOM nodes, etc. will not work!
You will have to find your own way of serializing this in the page context and passing it to the outside (JavaScript):
var performance = casper.evaluate(function(){
var t = window.performance.timing;
var n = window.performance.navigation;
return {
timing: {
connectStart: t.connectStart,
connectEnd: t.connectEnd,
...
},
navigation: {
type: n.type,
redirectCount: n.redirectCount
},
...
};
});
or look for a deep copy algorithm that produces a serializable object (from here):
var perf = casper.evaluate(function(){
function cloneObject(obj) {
var clone = {};
for(var i in obj) {
if(typeof(obj[i])=="object" && obj[i] != null)
clone[i] = cloneObject(obj[i]);
else
clone[i] = obj[i];
}
return clone;
}
return cloneObject(window.performance);
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(perf, undefined, 4));
I'm new to AngularJS and to JS testing in general and I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around how to go about testing this rather simple service. I've tried using $httpBackend with 'when' and 'expect' GET in variations configurations, to no avail. The test should verify that 1) data is returned via the deferred.resolve and 2) no data is returned via the deferred.reject. If someone could point me in the right direction i'd be quite grateful. Thanks!
btw: I'm using Jasmine + Testacular
.service('myService', function($http, $q) {
return {
getMyData: function() {
var deferred = $q.defer();
$http.get('/foo/bar.do').success(function(data) {
deferred.resolve(data);
}).error(function(){
deferred.reject();
});
return deferred.promise;
}
}
})
I had kind of the same problem testing a service with $http and $q.
Here is one of my test which passes:
it('should issue a GET request to /foo/bar.do', inject(function ($httpBackend) {
$httpBackend.when('GET', '/foo/bar.do').respond('success');
var finalResult = '';
var result = myService.getMyData();
result.then(function(data) {
finalResult = data;
}, function() {
console.log('error');
});
$httpBackend.flush();
expect(finalResult).toBe('success');
}));
I've tried to understand this post regarding this concept, however, I'm failing to get it. I have the following simple setup:
/server/test.js
Meteor.methods({
abc: function() {
var result = {};
result.foo = "Hello ";
result.bar = "World!";
return result;
}
});
/client/myapp.js
var q = Meteor.call('abc');
console.log(q);
This structure returns to the console undefined.
If I change the myapp.js file to:
Meteor.call('abc', function(err, data) {
!err ? console.log(data) : console.log(err);
}
I receive the Object in my console.
Ideally this is what I'd like to be able to do, but it doesn't work, stating in the console: Cannot read property 'greeting' of undefined
/client/myapp.js
var q = Meteor.call('abc');
Template.hello.greeting = function() {
return q.foo;
}
Any help in passing the data from the server object into the template would be greatly appreciated. I'm still learning JavaScript & Meteor.
Thanks!
From the Meteor.call documentation:
On the client, if you do not pass a callback and you are not inside a stub, call will return undefined, and you will have no way to get the return value of the method. That is because the client doesn't have fibers, so there is not actually any way it can block on the remote execution of a method.
So, you'll want to do it like this:
Meteor.call('abc', function(err, data) {
if (err)
console.log(err);
Session.set('q', data);
});
Template.hello.greeting = function() {
return Session.get('q').foo;
};
This will reactively update the template once the data is available.
This happens because Npm.require has Async behavior. That's the reason that you have to write a callback for Meteor.call.
But there is a solution, just use install(mrt add npm) and you'll get a function named Meteor.sync(//...) with this you can do both games: sync and async in your Meteor.call().
Reference: http://www.sitepoint.com/create-a-meteor-app-using-npm-module/
You can get the return value of a Meteor method for use in a template by using a reactive variable. Check out the working demonstration on Meteorpad
I went for a ghetto solution. But, it works for me, which is what matters, to me. Below is my code, which, in concept, I think, solves OP's problem.
In the client's main.js:
Meteor.setInterval(function() {
confirmLogin();
}, 5000);
This runs the confirmLogin() function every five seconds.
The confirmLogin function (in the client's main.js):
function confirmLogin() {
Meteor.call('loggedIn', function (error, result) {
Session.set("loggedIn", result);
});
}
The loggedIn method (in the server's main.js):
loggedIn: function () {
var toReturn = false;
var userDetails = Meteor.user();
if (typeof userDetails["services"] !== "undefined") {
if (typeof userDetails["services"]["facebook"] != "undefined") {
toReturn = true;
}
}
return toReturn;
},
The relevant helper:
loggedIn: function () {
return Session.get("loggedIn");
}
