سازماندهی مجموعه تست

با رشد پروژه ها، به ناچار تست های ادغام شده بیشتر و بیشتری اضافه می شوند. این باعث افزایش زمان ساخت و کاهش بهره وری می شود.

برای جلوگیری از این امر، باید تست های خود را به صورت موازی اجرا کنید. WebdriverIO قبلاً هر یک از فایل تست(spec) (یا فایل ویژگی در Cucumber) را به صورت موازی در یک session تست می کند. به طور کلی، سعی کنید تنها یک ویژگی را در هر فایل spec تست کنید. سعی کنید تعداد تست های خیلی زیاد یا خیلی کم در یک فایل نباشد. (هرچند در اینجا قانون طلایی وجود ندارد.)

Once your tests have several spec files, you should start running your tests concurrently. To do so, adjust the maxInstances property in your config file. WebdriverIO allows you to run your tests with maximum concurrency—meaning that no matter how many files and tests you have, they can all run in parallel. (This is still subject to certain limits, like your computer’s CPU, concurrency restrictions, etc.)

Let's say you have 3 different capabilities (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) and you have set maxInstances to 1. The WDIO test runner will spawn 3 processes. Therefore, if you have 10 spec files and you set maxInstances to 10, all spec files will be tested simultaneously, and 30 processes will be spawned.

You can define the maxInstances property globally to set the attribute for all browsers.

If you run your own WebDriver grid, you may (for example) have more capacity for one browser than another. In that case, you can limit the maxInstances in your capability object:

// wdio.conf.js
export const config = {
    // ...
    // set maxInstance for all browser
    maxInstances: 10,
    // ...
    capabilities: [{
        browserName: 'firefox'
    }, {
        // maxInstances can get overwritten per capability. So if you have an in-house WebDriver
        // grid with only 5 firefox instance available you can make sure that not more than
        // 5 instance gets started at a time.
        browserName: 'chrome'
    }],
    // ...
}

Inherit From Main Config File

If you run your test suite in multiple environments (e.g., dev and integration) it may help to use multiple configuration files to keep things manageable.

Similar to the page object concept, the first thing you’ll need is a main config file. It contains all configurations you share across environments.

Then create another config file for each environment, and supplement the the main config with the environment-specific ones:

// wdio.dev.config.js
import { deepmerge } from 'deepmerge-ts'
import wdioConf from './wdio.conf.js'

// have main config file as default but overwrite environment specific information
export const config = deepmerge(wdioConf.config, {
    capabilities: [
        // more caps defined here
        // ...
    ],

    // run tests on sauce instead locally
    user: process.env.SAUCE_USERNAME,
    key: process.env.SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY,
    services: ['sauce']
}, { clone: false })

// add an additional reporter
config.reporters.push('allure')

Grouping Test Specs In Suites

You can group test specs in suites and run single specific suites instead of all of them.

First, define your suites in your WDIO config:

// wdio.conf.js
export const config = {
    // define all tests
    specs: ['./test/specs/**/*.spec.js'],
    // ...
    // define specific suites
    suites: {
        login: [
            './test/specs/login.success.spec.js',
            './test/specs/login.failure.spec.js'
        ],
        otherFeature: [
            // ...
        ]
    },
    // ...
}

Now, if you want to only run a single suite, you can pass the suite name as a CLI argument:

wdio wdio.conf.js --suite login

Or, run multiple suites at once:

wdio wdio.conf.js --suite login --suite otherFeature

Grouping Test Specs To Run Sequentially

As described above, there are benefits in running the tests concurrently. However, there are cases where it would be beneficial to group tests together to run sequentially in a single instance. Examples of this are mainly where there is a large setup cost e.g. transpiling code or provisioning cloud instances, but there are also advanced usage models that benefit from this capability.

To group tests to run in a single instance, define them as an array within the specs definition.

    "specs": [
        [
            "./test/specs/test_login.js",
            "./test/specs/test_product_order.js",
            "./test/specs/test_checkout.js"
        ],
        "./test/specs/test_b*.js",
    ],

In the example above, the tests 'test_login.js', 'test_product_order.js' and 'test_checkout.js' will be run sequentially in a single instance and each of the "test_b*" tests will run concurrently in individual instances.

It is also possible to group specs defined in suites, so you can now also define suites like this:

    "suites": {
        end2end: [
            [
                "./test/specs/test_login.js",
                "./test/specs/test_product_order.js",
                "./test/specs/test_checkout.js"
            ]
        ],
        allb: ["./test/specs/test_b*.js"]
},

and in this case all of the tests of the "end2end" suite would be run in a single instance.

When running tests sequentially using a pattern, it will run the spec files in an alphabetical order

  "suites": {
    end2end: ["./test/specs/test_*.js"]
  },

This will run the files matching the pattern above in the following order:

  [
      "./test/specs/test_checkout.js",
      "./test/specs/test_login.js",
      "./test/specs/test_product_order.js"
  ]

Run Selected Tests

In some cases, you may wish to only execute a single test (or subset of tests) of your suites.

With the --spec parameter, you can specify which suite (Mocha, Jasmine) or feature (Cucumber) should be run. The path is resolved relative from your current working directory.

For example, to run only your login test:

wdio wdio.conf.js --spec ./test/specs/e2e/login.js

Or run multiple specs at once:

wdio wdio.conf.js --spec ./test/specs/signup.js --spec ./test/specs/forgot-password.js

If the --spec value does not point to a particular spec file, it is instead used to filter the spec filenames defined in your configuration.

To run all specs with the word “dialog” in the spec file names, you could use:

wdio wdio.conf.js --spec dialog

Note that each test file is running in a single test runner process. Since we don't scan files in advance (see the next section for information on piping filenames to wdio), you can't use (for example) describe.only at the top of your spec file to instruct Mocha to run only that suite.

This feature will help you to accomplish the same goal.

When the --spec option is provided, it will override any patterns defined by the config or capability level's specs parameter.

Exclude Selected Tests

When needed, if you need to exclude particular spec file(s) from a run, you can use the --exclude parameter (Mocha, Jasmine) or feature (Cucumber).

For example, to exclude your login test from the test run:

wdio wdio.conf.js --exclude ./test/specs/e2e/login.js

Or, exclude multiple spec files:

wdio wdio.conf.js --exclude ./test/specs/signup.js --exclude ./test/specs/forgot-password.js

Or, exclude a spec file when filtering using a suite:

wdio wdio.conf.js --suite login --exclude ./test/specs/e2e/login.js

When the --exclude option is provided, it will override any patterns defined by the config or capability level's exclude parameter.

Run Suites and Test Specs

Run an entire suite along with individual specs.

wdio wdio.conf.js --suite login --spec ./test/specs/signup.js

Run Multiple, Specific Test Specs

It is sometimes necessary—in the context of continuous integration and otherwise—to specify multiple sets of specs to run. WebdriverIO's wdio command line utility accepts piped-in filenames (from find, grep, or others).

Piped-in filenames override the list of globs or filenames specified in the configuration's spec list.

grep -r -l --include "*.js" "myText" | wdio wdio.conf.js

Note: This will not override the --spec flag for running a single spec.

Running Specific Tests with MochaOpts

You can also filter which specific suite|describe and/or it|test you want to run by passing a mocha specific argument: --mochaOpts.grep to the wdio CLI.

wdio wdio.conf.js --mochaOpts.grep myText
wdio wdio.conf.js --mochaOpts.grep "Text with spaces"

Note: Mocha will filter the tests after the WDIO test runner creates the instances, so you might see several instances being spawned but not actually executed.

Exclude Specific Tests with MochaOpts

You can also filter which specific suite|describe and/or it|test you want to exclude by passing a mocha specific argument: --mochaOpts.invert to the wdio CLI. --mochaOpts.invert performs opposite of --mochaOpts.grep

wdio wdio.conf.js --mochaOpts.grep "string|regex" --mochaOpts.invert
wdio wdio.conf.js --spec ./test/specs/e2e/login.js --mochaOpts.grep "string|regex" --mochaOpts.invert

Note: Mocha will filter the tests after the WDIO test runner creates the instances, so you might see several instances being spawned but not actually executed.

Stop testing after failure

With the bail option, you can tell WebdriverIO to stop testing after any test fails.

This is helpful with large test suites when you already know that your build will break, but you want to avoid the lengthy wait of a full testing run.

The bail option expects a number, which specifies how many test failures can occur before WebDriver stop the entire testing run. The default is 0, meaning that it always runs all tests specs it can find.

Please see Options Page for additional information on the bail configuration.

Run options hierarchy

When declaring what specs to run, there is a certain hierarchy defining what pattern will take precedence. Currently, this is how it works, from highest priority to lowest:

CLI --spec argument > capability specs pattern > config specs pattern CLI --exclude argument > config exclude pattern > capability exclude pattern

If only the config parameter is given, it will be used for all capabilities. However, if defining the pattern at the capability level, it will be used instead of the config pattern. Finally, any spec pattern defined on the command line will override all other patterns given.

Using capability-defined spec patterns

When you define a spec pattern at the capability level, it will override any patterns defined at the config level. This is useful when needing to separate tests based on differentiating device capabilities. In cases like this, it is more useful to use a generic spec pattern at the config level, and more specific patterns at the capability level.

For example, let's say you had two directories, with one for Android tests, and one for iOS tests.

Your config file may define the pattern as such, for non-specific device tests:

{
    specs: ['tests/general/**/*.js']
}

but then, you will have different capabilities for your Android and iOS devices, where the patterns could look like such:

{
  "platformName": "Android",
  "specs": [
    "tests/android/**/*.js"
  ]
}

{
  "platformName": "iOS",
  "specs": [
    "tests/ios/**/*.js"
  ]
}

If you require both of these capabilities in your config file, then the Android device will only run the tests under the "android" namespace, and the iOS tests will run only tests under the "ios" namespace!

//wdio.conf.js
export const config = {
    "specs": [
        "tests/general/**/*.js"
    ],
    "capabilities": [
        {
            platformName: "Android",
            specs: ["tests/android/**/*.js"],
            //...
        },
        {
            platformName: "iOS",
            specs: ["tests/ios/**/*.js"],
            //...
        },
        {
            platformName: "Chrome",
            //config level specs will be used
        }
    ]
}
