Summary

This is a basic example of Webdriverio + Cucumberjs + Typescript usage.

Getting Started

Requirements

Local Chrome browser, or Saucelabs account. Node v4.8.0+

Installation

• npm install

Execution

Saucelabs

To execute across Saucelabs, set the SAUCE_USERNAME and SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.

Note that you aren't required to create a Sauce Connect tunnel, this will be handled automatically.

Run npm run test-sauce

Local

Run npm run test-local

Configuration

tsconfig.json defines the outDir where Typescript will transpile to. This directory is auto-deleted by the npm test-* commands after execution, so ensure that this doesn't correlate to a directory you require.

conf/local.conf.js and conf/saucelabs.conf.js define the configuration of webdriverio.

• specs: [...] defines matchers for the cucumber feature files to run as default.
• suites: {...} defines named matcher sets for different suite types (e.g. smoke, login, etc.)
• services and capabilities define the nature of the selenium execution. Most commonly support local (standalone) execution or Saucelabs.
• baseUrl: defines the default/base URL to use for the tests. This is most commonly the landing URL for the desired environment & app.
• require: [...] defines the matchers for the step definitions to use in the run.

For more information on configuration, see http://webdriver.io/guide/testrunner/configurationfile.html

TO DO

• Put all config files into /config
