Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Detox Helper for CodeceptJS

Testing Mobile Apps on iOS and Android can look like this:

I.setLandscapeOrientation();
I.fillField('#text', 'a new text');
I.see('a new text', '#textValue');
I.dontSeeElement('#createdAndVisibleText');
I.click({ ios: '#GoButton', android: 'Button' });
I.waitForElement('#createdAndVisibleText', 20);
I.seeElement('#createdAndVisibleText');
I.runOnAndroid(() => {
  I.click('Save');
  I.see('Text Saved', '#message');
});
I.runOnIOS(() => {
  I.click('SAVE');
  I.see('SAVED!');
});

CodeceptJS provides next features over standard Detox:

  • Unified API. The same test can be executed in Appium or Detox. Unified API helps different teams to use the same syntax and easy port tests from one engine to another.
  • Interactive pause. When starting/stopping an application takes a long time, debugging and writing tests can be hard. CodeceptJS solves this by pausing an execution and letting you try different commands and locators. With this feature a test can be writtern during one running session.
  • One Test For Android and IOS. When application differs on Android and IOS you can provide corresponding system-related locators for both systems. When needed a different code can be executed for Android and IOS keeping it inside the same test.

Detox

Extends Helper

This is a wrapper on top of Detox library, aimied to unify testing experience for CodeceptJS framework. Detox provides a grey box testing for mobile applications, playing especially good for React Native apps.

Detox plays quite differently from Appium. To establish detox testing you need to build a mobile application in a special way to inject Detox code. This why Detox is grey box testing solution, so you need access to application source code, and a way to build and execute it on emulator.

Comparing to Appium, Detox runs faster and more stable but requires an additional setup for build.

Setup

  1. Install and configure Detox

  2. Build an application using detox build command.

  3. Install CodeceptJS and detox-helper:

    npm i @codeceptjs/detox-helper --save

Detox configuration is required in package.json under detox section.

If you completed step 1 and step 2 you should have a configuration similar this:

 "detox": {
    "configurations": {
      "ios.sim.debug": {
        "device": "simulator",
        "app": "ios.debug"
      }
    },
    "apps": {
      "ios.debug": {
        "type": "ios.app",
        "binaryPath": "../test/ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyTestApp.app",
        "build": "xcodebuild -workspace ../test/ios/MyTestApp.xcworkspace -scheme MyTestApp -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator -derivedDataPath ../test/ios/build"
      }
    },
    "devices": {
      "simulator": {
        "type": "ios.simulator",
        "device": {
          "type": "iPhone 15"
        }
      }
    }
  }

Configuration

Besides Detox configuration, CodeceptJS should also be configured to use Detox.

In codecept.conf.js enable Detox helper:

helpers: {
   Detox: {
     require: '@codeceptjs/detox-helper',
     configuration: '<detox-configuration-name>',
   }
}

It's important to specify a package name under require section and current detox configuration taken from package.json.

Options:

  • configuration - a detox configuration name. Required.
  • reloadReactNative - should be enabled for React Native applications.
  • reuse - reuse application for tests. By default, Detox reinstalls and relaunches app.
  • registerGlobals - (default: true) Register Detox helper functions by, element, expect, waitFor globally.
  • url - URL to open via deep-link each time the app is launched (android) or immediately afterwards (iOS). Useful for opening a bundle URL at the beginning of tests when working with Expo.
