Genesis Foundation testing

lerna TypeScript

foundation-testing provides shared unit and e2e testing functionality.

API Docs

Unit testing with UVU

Unit testing is provided by UVU

UVU Features

  • Super lightweight
  • Extremely performant
  • Individually executable test files
  • Supports async/await tests
  • Supports native ES Modules
  • Browser-compatible
  • Familiar API

E2E Testing with Playwright

E2E testing is provided by Playwright

Playwright Features

  • Run tests across all browsers.
  • Execute tests in parallel.
  • Enjoy context isolation out of the box.
  • Capture videos, screenshots and other artifacts on failure.
  • Integrate your POMs as extensible fixtures.

Test Organisation

You can unit-test specific logic by adding a test file alongside the source file.

logic.ts
logic.test.ts

If your test spans more than one file or is more of an end-to-end test, you may wish to add your test to your package's /test directory instead. An example structure might be:

├── src
│ └── logic.ts
│ └── logic.test.ts
│ └── component.ts
│ └── component.test.ts
├── test
│ └── e2e
│ └── baseline.e2e.ts
│ └── unit
│ └── baseline.test.ts
├── package.json
└── playwright.config.ts

The contents of your package's playwright.config.ts may include:

export { configDefaults as default } from '@genesislcap/foundation-testing/e2e';

If you need to customise configuration, you can do it as follows:

import { configDefaults } from '@genesislcap/foundation-testing/e2e';

export default {
...configDefaults,
// Any custom configuration here e.g. disabling the web server:
webServer: undefined,
};

If you need to customise JSDOM, you can create a jsdom.setup.ts file in your package directory:

// custom code
export * from '@genesislcap/foundation-testing/jsdom';

Test scripts

The test-related scripts to add to your package's package.json file may include:

"test": "genx test",
"test:coverage": "genx test --coverage",
"test:coverage:browser": "genx test --coverage --browser",
"test:e2e": "genx test --e2e",
"test:e2e:debug": "genx test --e2e --debug",
"test:e2e:ui": "genx test --e2e --interactive",
"test:unit:browser": "genx test --browser",
"test:unit:browser:watch": "genx test --browser --watch",
"test:unit:watch": "genx test --watch",
"test:debug": "genx test --debug"

Testing logic

The logic.test.ts usually uses createLogicSuite, which is used to test function output given certain input arguments. Based on user feedback, these arguments are now passed as an array by convention:

// logic.test.ts
import { createLogicSuite } from '@genesislcap/foundation-testing';
import { myFunction } from './logic';

const Suite = createLogicSuite('myFunction');
Suite('myFunction should provide expected results', ({ runCases }) => {
runCases(myFunction, [
[['1'], true],
[[123], true],
[['60%'], true],
[['$60'], false],
[['1.1'], false],
[[''], false],
[[true], false],
[[null], false],
[[undefined], false],
]);
});

Suite.run();

Testing components

The component.test.ts or any test that directly or indirectly makes use of the DI uses createComponentSuite. Apart from setting up and tearing down your element fixture with a wrapping design system and DI container, this util also allows you to provide DI container mocks, which are required for certain testing flows.

// component.test.ts
import { Connect } from '@genesislcap/foundation-comms';
import { ConnectMock } from '@genesislcap/foundation-comms/testing';
import { assert, createComponentSuite, Registration } from '@genesislcap/foundation-testing';
import { MyComponent } from './component';

/**
* As we're using tag name in the Suite, we hold a reference to avoid tree shaking.
*/
MyComponent;

/**
* Create mock
*/
const connectMock = new ConnectMock();
connectMock.nextMetadata = {
FIELD: [
{
NAME: 'foo',
TYPE: 'bar',
},
],
};

/**
* Resister mock instance
*/
const mocks = [Registration.instance(Connect, connectMock)];

const Suite = createComponentSuite<MyComponent>(
'MyComponent',
'my-component', // < or () => myComponent() if your component is composeable
null,
mocks,
);

Suite('Can be created in the DOM', async ({ element }) => {
assert.ok(element);
});

Suite('Connect is mocked in the container', async ({ container }) => {
const serviceMock = container.get(Connect);
assert.instance(serviceMock, ConnectMock);
});

Suite('Attr changes update internals as expected', async ({ element }) => {
element.setAttribute('resource-name', 'ALL_USERS');
assert.match(element.optionsHash, /ALL_USERS/);
element.setAttribute('order-by', 'USERNAME');
assert.match(element.optionsHash, /USERNAME/);
});

Suite('Connect.getMetadata returns expected nextMetadata', async ({ container }) => {
const serviceMock = container.get(Connect) as ConnectMock;
/**
* Assert base case
*/
let serviceMeta = await serviceMock.getMetadata('someResource');
assert.is(serviceMeta.FIELD[0].NAME, 'foo');
/**
* Apply next and assert
*/
const metadata = {
FIELD: [
{
NAME: 'hello',
TYPE: 'world',
},
],
};
serviceMock.nextMetadata = {
...metadata,
};
serviceMeta = await serviceMock.getMetadata('someResource');
assert.equal(serviceMeta, {
...metadata,
});
// TODO: Trigger and cross check component reactions to underlying data changes
});

Suite.run();

Testing E2E

The baseline.e2e.ts uses playwright; test cases have access to the fixtures provided during set-up.

import { test, expect } from '@genesislcap/foundation-testing/e2e';

test('baseline test', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/');
const name = await page.innerText('.navbar__title');
expect(name).toBe('Playwright');
});

We will be adding more details on E2E in future updates.
