Setup Guide

Note: This guide assumes that your app can be started using npm start and accepts a port passed in as the PORT environment variable. Have a look at the configuration guide if that's not the case.

Step 1: Install

npm install --save-dev testium-mocha testium-driver-sync mocha

Step 2: Configure

Create a .testiumrc file with your configuration. This example uses ini file syntax but JSON is supported as well.

launch = true
driver = wd

launch tells testium to start your application before running the test. Testium will automatically stop your application once all tests finished.

Step 3: Write Tests

const assert = require('assert');

const browser = require('testium-mocha').browser;

describe('The homepage', () => {
  before(browser.beforeHook());

  before('Load homepage', () =>
    browser.loadPage('/')
  );

  it('shows the right title', () =>
    browser.getPageTitle().then((title) => {
      assert.equal(title, 'Hello');
    })
  );
});

Step 4: Run Tests

You can just run the file above using mocha and testium will handle everything for you:

• Launch the app and phantomjs.
• Wait for the app to listen.
• Clear cookies & reset the window to a well-known size.
• Close the webdriver session and tear down your app & phantomjs.

./node_modules/.bin/mocha my-test.js
# Or, after adding 'node_modules/.bin' to your $PATH:
mocha my-test.js

Thanks to rc you can use environment variables to override options. This makes it super easy to run the same test in Chrome:

testium_browser=chrome mocha my-test.js

Testium will automatically download selenium and chromedriver the first time they are needed.
