Selenium WebDriver, Node, Tape and travis-multirunner are used as the testing framework. Selenium WebDriver drives the browser; Node and Tape manage the tests, while travis-multirunner downloads and installs the browsers to be tested on, i.e. creates the testing matrix.
Detailed information on developing in the webrtc GitHub repo can be found in the WebRTC GitHub repo developer's guide.
This guide assumes you are running a Debian based Linux distribution (travis-multirunner currently fetches .deb browser packages).
git clone https://github.com/webrtc/samples.git
npm install
From the root of the checkout do cd test
then run node server.js
and finally navigate your browser to https://localhost:8080
.
Runs grunt and tests in test/tests.js.
npm test
Runs only the specified test using the specified browser.
BROWSER=chrome node src/content/getusermedia/gum/js/test.js
test/tests.js is used as an index for the tests, tests should be added here using require()
.
The tests themselves should be placed in the same js folder as main.js: e.g.src/content/getusermedia/gum/js/test.js
.
The tests should be written using Tape and Selenium WebDriver is used to control and drive the test in the browser.
Use the existing tests as guide on how to write tests and also look at the Tape guide and Selenium WebDriver (make sure to select javascript as language preference.) for more information.
Global Selenium WebDriver settings can be found in test/selenium-lib.js
, if your test require some specific settings not covered in selenium-lib.js, add your own to the test and do not import the selenium-lib.js file into the test, only do this if it's REALLY necessary.
Once your test is ready, create a pull request and see how it runs on travis-multirunner.
Chrome stable is currently installed as the default browser for the tests.
Currently Chrome and Firefox are supported*, check travis-multirunner repo for updates around this. Firefox channels supported are stable, beta and nightly. Chrome channels supported on Linux are stable, beta and unstable.
To select a different browser and/or channel version, change environment variables BROWSER and BVER, then you can rerun the tests with the new browser.
export BROWSER=firefox BVER=nightly
Alternatively you can also do it without changing environment variables.
BROWSER=firefox BVER=nightly npm test
###* Experimental browser support### You can run the tests in any currently installed browser locally that is supported by Selenium WebDriver but you have to bypass travis-multirunner. Also it only makes sense to use a WebRTC supported browser.
- Remove the
.setBinary()
and.setChromeBinaryPath()
methods intest/selenium-lib.js
(these currently point to travis-multirunner scripts that only run on Debian based Linux distributions) or change them to point to a location of your choice. - Then add the Selenium driver of the browser you want to use to
test/selenium-lib.js
, check Selenium WebDriver supported browsers page for more details. - Then just do the following (replace "opera" with your browser of choice) in order to run all tests
BROWSER=opera npm test
- If you want to run a specific test do the following
BROWSER=opera node src/content/getusermedia/gum/js/test.js
