Limesurvey Core Testing

This is the home of automated tests for Limesurvey core application using Cypress.io

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Yarn
• MySQL
• local dev environment setup using ls-docker-dev-env

Local Setup

To install dependencies run yarn

Data

Create mysql config file ~/.my.cnf with this content:

[mysql]
user=root
password=root
host=ls-dev-mysql

Cd into cypress/data directory.

Dump your data: mysqldump --no-create-db --no-create-info --column-statistics=0 ls-ce > database_backup.sql

Run the seed script (zsh): ../../seed_script.sh

How to use it

• yarn cypress:e2e:open - start e2e tests in cypress interactive runner

• yarn cypress:e2e:run - run e2e tests in headless mode

• yarn cypress:e2e:run --browser chrome - run e2e tests in headless chrome browser

• yarn cypress:e2e:run --spec cypress/e2e/group2/create_survey.cy.js - run tests from specific file

These tests expect the application to be configured with 'urlFormat' = 'get'.

Parallel runs

• after a successful run, you get run_times.json files for each run
• merge the contents to run_times.json and put this file in the root directory fo this project
• run the script split_tests_into_groups.js and it will distribute the tests into 2 groups (group1,group2) so that their run time is nearly equal
• this will ensure the optimal run time of the whole test suite

Api tests

• CYPRESS_BASE_URL=http://ls-ce/ yarn cypress:api:run - replace ls-ce with your local dev env

REST API tests expect the application to be configured with 'urlFormat' = 'path'.
