[Deprecated] UI tests Utils for Camel Tooling

Installation • Local Usage • Documentation • Known Issues

UI tests Utils for Camel tooling is a package built on ExTester. It provides more specific functions, wait conditions, sets of features and others for UI testing of Camel Tooling extensions for Visual Studio Code.

Installation

Install vscode-uitests-tooling into your extension devDependencies:

npm install --save-dev vscode-uitests-tooling@latest

Local development

These are necessary steps for local contribution and writing tests with vscode-uitests-tooling package.

Build local changes

1. Inside vscode-uitests-tooling project execute prepared script, which includes all necessary steps

   npm run dev
   

2. Only for the first time - inside project where you are writing tests, you need to link local version of vscode-uitests-tooling package

   npm link vscode-uitests-tooling
   

Example

Example how to use this library in daily work in some project where you want to write UI tests with usage of vscode-extension-tester testing framework and vscode-uitests-tooling utils package.

1. Git clone vscode-uitests-tooling on same dir level as your project

   git clone https://github.com/djelinek/vscode-uitests-tooling.git
   

2. Inside tests use only import { XYZ } from 'vscode-uitests-tooling' package to import all page-objects including vscode-extension-tester ones

3. To easily build made utils changes and run tests in one step you can use

   npm --prefix ../vscode-uitests-tooling run dev && npm run ui-test
   

Migration to 3.0.0

In this version we are trying to simplify whole process of maintaining utils in one place and writing tests in another. To enable this approach we are now re-exporting whole vscode-extension-tester API which means this dependency is not required to be installed in destination where the tests are written because it will be provided as transitive dependency.

It also means that vscode-extension-tester version upgrades can be done only in one place and it will be propagated to all dependant proejcts.

To use vscode-uitests-tooling package in version 3.0.0 you need to change just few easy things and other should stay same.

1. Remove ExTester devDependency

   npm uninstall vscode-extension-tester
   

2. Install UI tests Utils for Camel Tooling package in version 3.0.0

   npm install -D [email protected]
   

3. Replace all vscode-extension-tester imports by vscode-uitests-tooling

4. Run tests!
