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 🙏

Readme

Waldo UI Testing

Combines the power of Puppeteer, Mocha, Chai, Pixelmatch and Mochawesome to provide a testing library which brings out of the box support for BDD visual regression testing.

Install

npm install waldo-ui-testing puppeteer

Usage

Test Spec

// my-test.spec.js

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const { chai: {expect}, setupPage} = require("waldo-ui-testing");

const mqs = {
  Mobile: {width: 480, height: 10_000},
  Desktop: {width: 1024, height: 10_000},
}

describe("Navbar", function() {
  let browser;
  let page;

  beforeEach(async function() {
    browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: true});
    page = await browser.newPage();
  });

  afterEach(async function() {
    await page.close();
    await browser.close();
  });

  for (const [mq, vp] of Object.entries(mqs)) {

    it(`[${mq}] - should show menu`, async function() {
      await setupPage(page, {url: "/test-page/url", viewport: vp});

      const menu = await page.$(".navbar");
      await expect(menu).to.not.be.visible();
      const button = await page.$(".burger-button");
      await button.click();
      await expect(menu).to.be.visible();
      await expect(menu).to.equalSnapshot(); // <=== visual regression testing
    });
  }
});

CLI execution

waldo --testFiles *.spec.js --targetDir target/ui-test --fixtureDir fixture

Output

  Navbar
    ✔ [Mobile] - should show menu (2030ms)
    1) [Desktop] - should show menu


  1 passing (7s)
  1 failing

Exports

chai

Copy of chai assertion library where two additional assertions are registered:

visible

await expect(handler).to.be.visible();

| Param | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | handler | Puppeteer.ElementHandle | | - |

will check if the element exists and has a bounding client rect with some dimensions. This means elements which have an opacity: 0 or are rendered outside the viewport are also treated as visible.

equalSnapshot

await expect(handler).to.equalSnapshot(options?);

| Param | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | handler | Puppeteer.Page \| Puppeteer.ElementHandle | | - | | options | [Object] | | - | | options.useClip | boolean | false | instead of isolating the element before taking screenshot, a screenshot of the page is taken with the coordinate of the element | | options.padding | number | 0 | (use with useClip) an outside padding to the element bounding client rect will be added before taking screenshot |

Will take a screenshot of the page or element, and visually compare to the snapshot from the first run.

setupPage(page, options) ⇒ Puppeteer.Page | Puppeteer.ElementHandle

| Param | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | page | Puppeteer.Page | | - | | options | Object | | | | options.url | string | | url for the page to get navigated to | | [options.moduleSelector] | string | | (if provided,) instead of the page, returns the first element with this selector on the page | | [options.proxy] | function | | function to intercept the request and redirect or respond to it (see Puppeteer's page.setRequestInterception) | | [options.viewport] | {height: number \| "auto", width: number} | {width: 800, height: 600} | sets the pages viewport to the given dimensions (see Puppeteer's page.setViewport). When setting height to "auto", height is set to the body's scroll height after DOM is ready | | [options.credentials] | {username: string, password: string} | | basic auth credentials (see Puppeteer's page.authenticate) |

A helper function that helps preparing a puppeteer page before the test. It isn't mandatory to use this helper, you can simply do the page navigation etc. yourself.

example usage:

setupPage(page, {
  url: "test-domain/index.html",
  moduleSelector: "form.login-dialog",
  viewport: {width: 480, height: 650},
  credentials: {username: "admin", password: "1234"},
  proxy(interceptedRequest) {
    const url = interceptedRequest.url();
    // proxy with asset from local dev server
    if (/.*\/app\.bundle\..*\.min\.js/.test(url))
      interceptedRequest.continue({url: "path/to/dev-server/app.js"});
    // respond with mock json
    else if (url.endsWith("shopping-cart.json"))
      interceptedRequest.respond({
        status: 200,
        contentType: "application/json",
        body: JSON.stringify([
          /* items */
        ]),
      });
    else
      interceptedRequest.continue();
  }
})

addContext

Adds additional information to a test. e.g.

addContext(this, "some additional information for the test report.")

See mochaawsome's addContext documentation for more info.

runner

See Node API section.

CLI Options

--testFiles

glob pattern to test files, relative from the cwd.

--targetDir

oath to the directory were the test result (images, html and json reports) are saved relative from cwd.

--fixtureDir

path to the directory were the snapshot for usage in future tests are automatically saved when a test is executed the first time, relative from cwd.

For each test file a folder with the title of the top describe in that test file will be created.

Snapshot filenames are the combination of the describe and it titles. Snapshots after the first snapshot will get a counter at the end of the filename.

e.g.

describe("Navbar", function() {
  describe("Mobile", function() {
    it(`should show menu`, async function() {
      // ...
      await expect(menu).to.equalSnapshot();
      // some other actions ...
      await expect(menu).to.equalSnapshot();
    });
  });
});

will create:

fixtureDir/Navbar/Navbar___Mobile___should show menu.png fixtureDir/Navbar/Navbar___Mobile___should show menu-1.png

Node API

example usage:

const { runner } = require("waldo-ui-testing");
runner.run({
  testFiles: ["path/to/test-file"],
  targetDir: "target/ui-tets",
  fixtureDir: "tests/fixture",
})
  .then(/* tests passed */)
  .catch(/* tests failed */)

Runs the test files. returns a promise which will be resolved after all tests have run and passed, or rejected (with the number of failed tests) when any test fails.

| Param | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | option | Object | | | option.testFiles | Array.<string> | absolute path to the test suit files | | option.targetDir | string | relative path from cwd to the folder where the test results (images, html and json report) will be saved to | | option.fixtureDir | string | relative path from cwd to the folder where the snapshot images from the visual tests will be stored at |

Troubleshooting

Debug in headful mode

Sometimes it helps to see what the browser sees. For that:

  1. run the misbehaving test isolated via it.only(...),
  2. launch the puppeteer browser in headful mode via browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false })
  3. and don't browser.close() the browser after the test fails.

Timeout

Some times some requests may take longer to finish or there are some animations/transition before component reaches its new state. In that case a time out ( e.g. page.waitForTimeout(1000)) could do wonders. But keep in mind, add many of them and your tests will take longer to finish!

Clipped image

When the component is cutoff in the screenshot, it might help the set the height of the viewport to some big values (e.g. setupPage(page, {url: viewport: {height: 100_000, width}})), this might prevent the scroll when chrome isolates the element to take a screenshot.

If that doesn't help, you could use the useClip option (i.e. await expect(handler).to.equalSnapshot({useClip: true})) to prevent the isolation before screenshot.

await

Due to async nature of puppeteer's browser handling, many commands need waiting for their completion, this includes the is.visible and to.equalSnapshot assertions as well.

Firefox

To run the tests in a firefox browser, you have to install puppeteer with firefox (PUPPETEER_PRODUCT=firefox npm i puppeteer) and launch the browser with firefox:

browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  product: "firefox",
  headless
})

for more info see puppeteer's docs.

Demo

checkout git repository and run npm run demo.
