Mocha Runner

Mocha Runner is a test runner on top of mocha. It uses /test/TestSuites.json and /test/TestExpectations.json files to run mocha tests in multiple configurations and interpret results.

Running tests for Mocha Runner itself.

npm test

Running tests using Mocha Runner

npm run build && npm run test

By default, the runner runs all test suites applicable to the current platform. To pick a test suite, provide the --test-suite arguments. For example,

npm run build && npm run test -- --test-suite chrome-headless

TestSuites.json

Define test suites via the testSuites attribute. parameters can be used in the TestExpectations.json to disable tests based on parameters. The meaning for parameters is defined in parameterDefinitions which tell what env object corresponds to the given parameter.

TestExpectations.json

An expectation looks like this:

{
  "testIdPattern": "[accessibility.spec]",
  "platforms": ["darwin", "win32", "linux"],
  "parameters": ["firefox"],
  "expectations": ["SKIP"]
}

Field	Description	Type	Match Logic
`testIdPattern`	Defines the full name (or pattern) to match against test name	string	-
`platforms`	Defines the platforms the expectation is for	Array<`linux` \| `win32` \|`darwin`>	`OR`
`parameters`	Defines the parameters that the test has to match	Array<ParameterDefinitions>	`AND`
`expectations`	The list of test results that are considered to be acceptable	Array<`PASS` \| `FAIL` \| `TIMEOUT` \| `SKIP`>	`OR`

Order of defining expectations matters. The latest expectation that is set will take president over earlier ones.

Adding SKIP to expectations will prevent the test from running, no matter if there are other expectations.

Using pattern in `testIdPattern`

Sometimes we want a whole group of test to run. For that we can use a pattern to achieve. Pattern are defined with the use of * (using greedy method).

Examples:

Pattern	Description	Example Pattern	Example match
`*`	Match all tests	-	-
`[test.spec] *`	Matches tests for the given file	`[jshandle.spec] *`	`[jshandle] JSHandle JSHandle.toString should work for primitives`
`[test.spec] <text> *`	Matches tests with for a given test with a specific prefixed test (usually a describe node)	`[page.spec] Page Page.goto *`	`[page.spec] Page Page.goto should work`, `[page.spec] Page Page.goto should work with anchor navigation`
`[test.spec] * <text>`	Matches test with a surfix	`[navigation.spec] * should work`	`[navigation.spec] navigation Page.goto should work`, `[navigation.spec] navigation Page.waitForNavigation should work`

Updating Expectations

Currently, expectations are updated manually. The test runner outputs the suggested changes to the expectation file if the test run does not match expectations.
