Selenium/Getting Started/Create a simple test
 | Code from this page is available at mediawiki/core and gerrit:345378. |
This tutorial will assume that you are running tests from your machine, targeting MediaWiki-Docker. A similar example is available as 5 and 17 minute videos.
Let's write a new simple test for MediaWiki Core. For example, Special:SpecialPages is one of the rare pages that does not have an Edit link. Let's write a test to check that.
Code
A new page object file describing the page we are testing should be created.
tests/selenium/docs/Create_a_simple_test/pageobjects/specialpages.page.js
import Page from 'wdio-mediawiki/Page.js';
class SpecialPages extends Page {
get edit() {
return $( '#ca-edit a[accesskey="e"]' );
}
async open() {
return super.openTitle( 'Special:SpecialPages' );
}
}
export default new SpecialPages();
A new test file should be created. The file is using the page object file we just created.
tests/selenium/docs/Create_a_simple_test/specs/specialpages.js
import SpecialPages from '../pageobjects/specialpages.page.js';
describe( 'Special:SpecialPages', () => {
it( 'should not have Edit link', async () => {
await SpecialPages.open();
await expect( SpecialPages.edit ).not.toExist();
} );
} );
Run Selenium tests
To run all tests, run this from MediaWiki Core folder:
npm run selenium-test
To run just the new test file:
npm run selenium-test -- --spec tests/selenium/docs/Create_a_simple_test/specs/specialpages.js
