# Puppeteer unit tests
Unit tests in Puppeteer are written using [Mocha] as the test runner and [Expect] as the assertions library.
## Test state
We have some common setup that runs before each test and is defined in `mocha-utils.js`.
You can use the `getTestState` function to read state. It exposes the following that you can use in your tests. These will be reset/tidied between tests automatically for you:
* `puppeteer`: an instance of the Puppeteer library. This is exactly what you'd get if you ran `require('puppeteer')`.
* `puppeteerPath`: the path to the root source file for Puppeteer.
* `defaultBrowserOptions`: the default options the Puppeteer browser is launched from in test mode, so tests can use them and override if required.
* `server`: a dummy test server instance (see `utils/testserver` for more).
* `httpsServer`: a dummy test server HTTPS instance (see `utils/testserver` for more).
* `isFirefox`: true if running in Firefox.
* `isChrome`: true if running Chromium.
* `isHeadless`: true if the test is in headless mode.
If your test needs a browser instance, you can use the `setupTestBrowserHooks()` function which will automatically configure a browser that will be cleaned between each test suite run. You access this via `getTestState()`.
If your test needs a Puppeteer page and context, you can use the `setupTestPageAndContextHooks()` function which will configure these. You can access `page` and `context` from `getTestState()` once you have done this.
The best place to look is an existing test to see how they use the helpers.
## Skipping tests for Firefox
Tests that are not expected to pass in Firefox can be skipped. You can skip an individual test by using `itFailsFirefox` rather than `it`. Similarly you can skip a describe block with `describeFailsFirefox`.
There is also `describeChromeOnly` which will only execute the test if running in Chromium. Note that this is different from `describeFailsFirefox`: the goal is to get any `FailsFirefox` calls passing in Firefox, whereas `describeChromeOnly` should be used to test behaviour that will only ever apply in Chromium.

## Running tests
Despite being named 'unit', these are integration tests, making sure public API methods and events work as expected.
- To run all tests:
```bash
npm run unit
```
- To run a specific test, substitute the `it` with `it.only`:
```js
...
it.only('should work', async function() {
const {server, page} = getTestState();
const response = await page.goto(server.EMPTY_PAGE);
expect(response.ok).toBe(true);
});
```
- To disable a specific test, substitute the `it` with `xit` (mnemonic rule: '*cross it*'):
```js
...
// Using "xit" to skip specific test
xit('should work', async function({server, page}) {
const {server, page} = getTestState();
const response = await page.goto(server.EMPTY_PAGE);
expect(response.ok).toBe(true);
});
```
- To run tests in non-headless mode:
```bash
HEADLESS=false npm run unit
```
- To run tests with custom browser executable:
```bash
BINARY=<path-to-executable> npm run unit
```
