End-to-End Testing

Requirements

NodeJs
JDK 11
Docker (optional)

Setup

Run npm install from the ui/ directory to install Node dependencies or you can use the gradle task npmInstall which will also install NodeJS if it's not already installed.

Running the API

There are two Spring profiles that can be used when running the API, default and e2e.

default

The default profile requires Postgres to be running locally on port 5432. There is a docker-compose.yml in the root directory to spin up a Postgres instance with the desired settings. To start the default profile run the gradle task bootRun.

./gradlew bootRun

e2e

The e2e profile uses an embedded H2 database and returns canned responses when reaching out to external services, in this case the Github REST API. To start the e2e profile run the gradle task bootRun but make sure you set a Gradle property or an environment variable: spring.profiles.active=e2e. The e2e profile starts with some canned data in the database as well and two users defined in the e2e-data.sql file. Each user defined in the file has their username set as their password.

./gradlew bootRun -Pspring.profiles.active=e2e

Running the UI

To start the UI run the npm start command from the ui/ directory or run the gradle task npmStart.

Running the end-to-end tests locally (Protractor)

To run the e2e tests locally, ensure the api is running locally using the e2e profile and run the npm run e2e-protractor command from the ui/ directory and the e2e tests will start. Artifacts from the test are located in the ui/build/ directory including images from the e2e tests.

Running the end-to-end tests locally (Cypress)

To run the e2e tests locally, ensure the api is running locally using the e2e profile and run the npm run e2e-cypress command from the ui/ directory and the e2e tests will start. Artifacts from the test are located in the ui/build/cypress/ directory including images and videos from the e2e tests.

To debug Cypress tests locally run the following command npm run cypress:open, this will open the Cypress GUI, allowing tests to be launched manually.
