Cypress based test framework for Collabora Online =================================================== Installation ------------ You need to have run configure with the --enable-cypress option. In a normal desktop environment you only need to install npm packages for running cypress tests. This is done by the build system, so running 'make check' will do the basic installation. https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress.html#npm-install For CI you might need to install some additional dependencies: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/continuous-integration.html#Dependencies Running tests ------------- All tests are part of the make check build expect notebookbar. So you can just execute it from the root folder or under the cypress_test folder to run cypress tests only. make check IMPORTANT: Before stepping under cypress_test folder and running any command listed here, make sure you've done a top-level make, so everything is up-to-date. Running commands from under cypress_test folder won't trigger a rebuild. To run cypress test cases selectively, you need to go in to the cypress_test folder first and run one of the following commands. To run all desktop tests: make check-desktop To run all mobile tests: make check-mobile To run all notebookbar tests: make USER_INTERFACE="notebookbar" check-desktop Note: Currently all the test spec listed in cypress_test/plugins/whitelists.js are supported for notebookbar To run one specific test suite of desktop tests, use spec argument with a relative path to cypress_test/integration_tests/desktop/: make check-desktop spec=writer/form_field_spec.js To run one specific test suite of mobile tests, use spec argument with a relative path to cypress_test/integration_tests/mobile/: make check-mobile spec=writer/toolbar_spec.js To run one specific test suite of desktop notebookbar tests, use spec argument with a relative path to cypress_test/integration_tests/desktop/: make USER_INTERFACE="notebookbar" check-desktop spec=writer/top_toolbar_spec.js Note: Currently all the test spec listed in cypress_test/plugins/whitelists.js are supported for notebookbar Running one specific test ------------------------- To run one test case of a test suite you can use Mocha's 'only' feature. Just replace the it(...) function with it.only(...) in the spec file for the selected test case and run the test suite using the spec parameter. For example, to run the test with title 'Apply font name.' inside apply_font_spec.js file, you need to add it.only(): - it('Apply font name.', function() { + it.only('Apply font name.', function() { Then run the test suite with: make check-mobile spec=writer/apply_font_spec.js Or open the test suite in the interactive test runner: make run-mobile spec=writer/apply_font_spec.js Opening interactive test runner ------------------------------- Cypress has an interactive test runner application which runs the test in the browser. So you can see the result of the different steps your test makes in the browser. It's useful during writing new tests or checking why an existing test fails. https://docs.cypress.io/guides/core-concepts/test-runner.html To open desktop tests in the test runner: make run-desktop To open mobile tests in the test runner: make run-mobile To open desktop notebookbar tests in the test runner: make USER_INTERFACE="notebookbar" run-desktop Note: Currently all the test spec listed in cypress_test/plugins/whitelists.js are supported for notebookbar To open one specific test suite of desktop tests, use spec argument with a relative path to cypress_test/integration_tests/desktop/: make run-desktop spec=writer/form_field_spec.js To open one specific test suite of mobile tests, use spec argument with a relative path to cypress_test/integration_tests/mobile/: make run-mobile spec=writer/toolbar_spec.js To open one specific test suite of desktop notebookbar tests, use spec argument with a relative path to cypress_test/integration_tests/desktop/: make USER_INTERFACE="notebookbar" run-desktop spec=writer/top_toolbar_spec.js Note: Currently all the test spec listed in cypress_test/plugins/whitelists.js are supported for notebookbar During the build we run the tests with Chrome browser, so make sure you select Chrome browser on the GUI while checking tests. We are using different configuration and environment variables for mobile and desktop tests, that's why there are two separate commands for them and there is no option to open all the tests in the test runner. Running tests to update the help dialog screenshots -------------------- There are two spec files which you can to update the screenshots in help dialog 1. cypress_test/integration_tests/desktop/writer/help_dialog_update_spec.js 2. cypress_test/integration_tests/desktop/calc/help_dialog_update_spec.js You can run the specfile individually using: 1. make -C cypress_test UPDATE_SCREENSHOT=true check-desktop spec=writer/help_dialog_update_spec.js 2. make -C cypress_test UPDATE_SCREENSHOT=true check-desktop spec=calc/help_dialog_update_spec.js If UPDATE_SCREENSHOT is true then only cypress will run the spec file and replace the original screenshot with new screenshot, the default value of UPDATE_SCREENSHOT is false Interference testing -------------------- The idea is to run an existing cypress test while the same document is opened by a second user. The second user does some activity (e.g. moving cursor, clicking, etc) and we check whether it makes any interference with the first user's view. The first user is doing the actual test's steps, so we can see if interference breaks the assertions. In Writer, the interfering user moves the cursor left and right. In Calc, the interfering user moves the cellcursor left and right. In Impress, it just does mouse-clicking next to the slide. All these activities trigger view switches in the core, which can hit issues with multiple users. To run all mobile tests with interference testing: make check-interfer-mobile To run one specific mobile test suit: make check-interfer-mobile spec=writer/toolbar_spec.js We can also run the interactive test runner with interference testing. In this case, the test user is visible in the browser and the interfering user runs in the background. Yon can see the activity of the interfering user as another view appears in the document moving its cursor left and right. To open one specific mobile test suit in interactive test runner: make run-interfer-mobile spec=writer/toolbar_spec.js To run all desktop tests with interference testing: make check-interfer-desktop To run one specific desktop test suit: make check-interfer-desktop spec=writer/form_field_spec.js To open one specific desktop test suit in interactive test runner: make run-interfer-desktop spec=writer/form_field_spec.js The implementation of interference testing can be found in cypress_test/integration_tests/common/interference_user_spec.js test file. Running tests in different browsers ----------------------------------- By default, the tests are run with chrome / chromium. If you need to run the tests with a different browser, you can use the CYPRESS_BROWSER variable: CYPRESS_BROWSER="firefox" make check This variable can be set to any value which is accepted by cypress --browser command line argument: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/command-line.html#cypress-run-browser-lt-browser-name-or-path-gt Running tests with nextcloud integration ---------------------------------------- You can run any test runner command in an NC environment with setting CYPRESS_INTEGRATION environment variable. For example: CYPRESS_INTEGRATION="nextcloud" make check Prerequisites: * Need a local NC 20 installation connected with Collabora Online * NC should be available at http://localhost/nextcloud/ (no ssl) * Need an NC user with 'cypress_test' as user name and password. Limitations: * NC integration uses iframes which makes harder to test with cypress. * cy.document() and cy.window() not properly works by now. Running tests with php-proxy ---------------------------- You can run any test runner command with php-proxy with setting CYPRESS_INTEGRATION environment variable. For example: CYPRESS_INTEGRATION="php-proxy" make check Prerequisites: * Download php-proxy script: https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/richdocumentscode/blob/master/proxy.php * Put it under /srv/www/htdocs/richproxy/ folder. Other useful flags ------------------ 1. ENABLE_VIDEO_REC You can enable video recording during running a test suite in headless mode. So you can check visually what happens in the browser during the test. Unfortunately this does not work for multi-user tests. ENABLE_VIDEO_REC="1" make check-mobile spec=writer/apply_font_spec.js 2. ENABLE_CONSOLE_LOG With this flag we can enable logging for console.error() messages and so they will be displayed in the command line. It's useful when we can reproduce a test failure only in headless mode and we need to debug the client-side JS code. ENABLE_CONSOLE_LOG="1" make check-mobile spec=writer/apply_font_spec.js Known issues ------------ 1. Different builddir and sourcedir with symlinks. Cypress has an issue with symlinks: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/3482 We use the related feature only when the build directory is different from the source directory. So to avoid this issue with the supportFile, you should build in the source directory or you should avoid symlinks in the path of the build directory. Code coverage ------------- We use nyc to instrument the code and then cypress code coverage plugin is used to generate coverage numbers. This workflow is called by the following command: make run-cov The output is put under cypress_test/coverage folder. Open the cypress_test/coverage/lcov-report/index.html file to get the summary report. The make command above touches the source files under browser/dist/src folder, so after testing the coverage doing a clean build is a good idea (e.g. make clean). See also this link: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/tooling/code-coverage.html Used Packages ------------- - cypress: Cypress integration test framework. - cypress-failed-log: This package makes cypress to dump test logs to the command line when a test fails. You can write things to this log by calling cy.log() in the test code. - cypress-log-to-output: This one can be used to dump console.error() messages to the command line. To enable this functionality you need to set ENABLE_CONSOLE_LOG environment variable. e.g. `ENABLE_CONSOLE_LOG="1" make check-mobile`. - cypress-select-tests: We can filter out tests or test suites before execution using this package. Now, it is used to filter out tests based on the core's version. See plugins/blacklists.js. - cypress-wait-until: Introduces cy.waitUntil() command which can be used as a while loop. We can't write loops in a cypress test otherwise. It's useful when the cypress tools can't be used to wait on something. - eslint: A JS linter tool for identifying patterns in JavaScript code. We use this to make sure code conventions are met. Run by make check and make run-*. - eslint-plugin-cypress-rules: This is our own eslint plugin to catch cypress specific patterns in the test code. - get-port-cli: Used by the build system to find an available port to use as coolwsd's communication port. - wait-on: Used by the build system to wait on coolwsd server to start before tests are started.
