This repository is a GitHub template. You can use it to create a new GitHub repository, clone it to your computer.
You can also launch it in a virtual Gitpod workspace without having to install anything on your machine:
To use this project, you'll need:
- Node.js, a Long-Term Support (LTS) release version 16 or later - download
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java Development Kit (JDK) version 11 or later - download
Follow the installation instructions to help you verify your setup.
Once you have the code on your computer, use your computer terminal to run the following command in the directory where you've cloned the project:
npm ci
Running npm ci downloads the Node modules this project depends on, as well as the latest version of chromedriver and the Serenity BDD CLI reporter jar.
If your network administrators require you to use proxy servers or an internal artifact registry (Artifactory, Nexus, etc.), your development environment might require some additional configuration.
The easiest way to do it is to create an .npmrc file in your home directory:
proxy=http://user:password@host.mycompany.com:8080/
https-proxy=http://user:password@host.mycompany.com:8080/
strict-ssl=false
registry=https://artifactory.mycompany.com/artifactory/
If you encounter issues downloading the Serenity BDD CLI jar, please follow the detailed instructions in the Serenity/JS Handbook.
Similar instructions are available for the chromedriver module.
The project provides several NPM scripts defined in package.json:
npm run lint # runs code linter
npm run lint:fix # attempts to automatically fix linting issues
npm run clean # removes reports from any previous test run
npm test # executes the example test suite
# and generates the report under ./target/site/serenity
npm start # starts a mini HTTP server and serves the test reports
# at http://localhost:8080
To execute only those scenarios which names match a given pattern, run:
npx mocha --grep="multiple expressions"
To learn more about available options, run:
npx mocha --help
