meteor-webdriver

THIS PACKAGE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED Use at your own risk :) You might consider using Chimp instead.

We plan to put end-to-end testing inside Jasmine in the near future, you can speed this up by sponsoring this release. See this page for details

A WebdriverIO wrapper for UI testing using any testing framework.

Starts PhantomJS in webdriver mode
Provides you with a browser you can automate using the industry-standard Selenium Webdriver

Installation

meteor add xolvio:webdriver

Usage

The following examples are for Mocha. You can also use Webdriver.io with Jasmine.

describe('Browser testing', function(done) {

  var _browser;

  before(function (done) {
    wdio.getGhostDriver(function(browser) {
      _browser = browser;
      done();
    });
  })

  it('should have the correct title', function (done) {
    _browser.
      init().
      url('http://www.google.com').
      title(function(err, res) {
          console.log('Title was: ' + res.value);
      }).
      end().
      call(done);
  });

});

You can also use ChromeDriver like this (no need to download anything!):

describe('Browser testing', function (done) {

  var _browser;

  before(function(done) {
    wdio.getChromeDriver(function (browser) {
      _browser = browser;
      done();
    });
  })

  // see above

});

For more examples and usage, see the webdriver.io website.

Phantom.js and CI

If this package is included for testing your Meteor app, it should work fine out of the box. You may encounter issues when you try to run on the CI server, as it doesn't seem to detect the right phantom.js binary to download. You can instead just npm install -g phantomjs and then set PHANTOM_PATH as an environment variable when you run your Meteor CI test build.

Package Roadmap
