Cucumber Puppeteer

A Node.js behavioural test framework made using Cucumber.js and Puppeteer. The test steps are generic so you can quickly create your test suite:

Scenario: Open the search page and find products
  When  I open the url "https://someurl.com/search"
  And   I set the element "input[name='search']" value to "plumbus"
  And   I click the button ".search-button"
  Then  I expect the element "#results > .result-count" contains text "3 products found"

Test steps

Look at the *.feature files in the project to see the available test steps. You can run them all with:

npm start        # after running `npm run test-server`

Configuration and hooks are loaded from /features/support/config.js. You can override behaviour with the following environment variables:

ENV              # Appended to screenshot names (default: '')
REPORT_PATH      # Path where Axe accessibility reports will be saved (default: './test/reports')
ROOT_URL         # Prepended to URLs that don't start with 'http' (default: '')
SCREENSHOT_PATH  # Path to save screenshots (default: './test/screenshots'

In addition to the above, environment variables are available to the deleteCookie, openUrl and setElementValue actions. Environment variables are not output to the test results and use the following syntax:

When I open the url "$TEST_URL"
And  I set the element "[type='password']" value to "$TEST_PASSWORD"

Puppeteer launch options

You can customize Puppeteer's launch options by adding a puppeteerOptions object to your package.json:

// package.json
"puppeteerOptions" : {
    "headless": false,
    "sloMo": 250,
    "defaultViewport": {
        "width": 1000,
        "height": 1000
    }
}

Or by using the Cucumber.js --world-parameters command line arg:

// package.json
"scripts": {
    "test:headful": "npx cucumber-js --world-parameters \"{\\\"headless\\\": false}\""
}

⚠️ Note that --world-parameters will take precedence.
