Arrow

Overview

Arrow is a test framework designed to promote test-driven JavaScript development. Arrow provides a consistent test creation and execution environment for both Developers and Quality Engineers.

Arrow aims to completely remove the line between development’s Unit tests, and Functional and Integration tests by providing a uniform way to create and execute both.

Arrow itself is a thin, extensible layer that marries JavaScript, NodeJS and Selenium. Arrow allows you to write tests using YUI-Test and execute those tests using NodeJS or Selenium. Additionally, Arrow provides a rich mechanism for building, organizing and executing test and test scenarios.

Install

npm install -g yahoo-arrow

Options

• --help display this help page

• --version display installed arrow version

• --lib comma separated list of js files needed by the test

• --page path to the mock or production html page, for example: http://www.yahoo.com or mock.html

• --report true/false. Creates report files in junit and json format, and also prints a consolidated test report summary on console

• --reportFolder : (optional) folderPath. creates report files under {folderPath}/arrow-report. (default: arrow-target/arrow-report under current directory)

• --testName comma separated list of test names defined in test descriptor. all other tests will be ignored

• --group comma separated list of groups defined in test descriptor, all other groups will be ignored

• --logLevel TRACE|DEBUG|INFO|WARN|ERROR|FATAL (default: INFO)

• --dimension a custom dimension file for defining ycb contexts

• --context name of ycb context

• --seleniumHost : (optional) override selenium host url (example: --seleniumHost=http://host.com:port/wd/hub)

• --capabilities : (optional) the name of a json file containing webdriver capabilities required by your project

• --startProxyServer : (optional) true/false. Starts a proxy server, intercepting all selenium browser calls

Also supports recording of select url calls ( if you mark "record" : true), and also supports recording the body of POST request (if you mark "storeBody": true), the default limit size of post body is 10240 bytes, you can change it by assigning "sizeLimit" : {integer in byte}.

   Example Json :
                 {
                     "storeBody" : true,
                     "sizeLimit": 4096,

Examples

Below are some examples to help you get started.

Unit test:

arrow --lib=../src/greeter.js test-unit.js

Unit test with a mock page:

arrow --page=testMock.html --lib=./test-lib.js test-unit.js

Unit test with --shareLibPath to replace --lib:

Please note that the folder passed to --shareLibPath need follow layout convention as described in arrow cookbook "Arrow In-Depth"

arrow --page=testMock.html --shareLibPath=../ test-unit.js

Unit test with selenium:

arrow --page=testMock.html --lib=./test-lib.js --driver=selenium test-unit.js

Integration test:

arrow --page=http://www.hostname.com/testpage --lib=./test-lib.js test-int.js

Integration test:

arrow --page=http://www.hostname.com/testpage --lib=./test-lib.js --driver=selenium test-int.js

Custom controller:

arrow --controller=custom-controller.js --driver=selenium
