Selenium E2E tests

A repo for myself to learn E2E testing with Selenium.

Prerequisites

Run npm install

This installs necessary JS dependencies in the local directory.

Set up environment

You need a Chrome driver to run tests. On macOS, you can install it globally with brew install --cask chromedriver.

Read more in the Selenium documentation.

Available commands

npm test

Runs tests

npm run test:watch

Runs tests and watches them, i. e. listens for file changes, that trigger the tests.

npm run test:match {filename}

This runs the tests that match the filename. For example, npm run test:match "src/4.1-explicit-wait.test.js"

Notes

Note that some tests take a long time. This is because the page calls a terribly slow API while the test is waiting for a result. This can be improved by mocking the API, but I didn't bother doing that, as it is out of scope for what I wanted achieve with this project.
