Automated testing #29

Open emahon opened 3 years ago

emahon commented 3 years ago

Use the War Thunder test flight debug mode to do automated testing

localhost:8111/editor/fm_commands

[ ] If the plane's altitude goes up x meters, the energy needs to increase by 9.8x
[ ] If the plane's speed is set to x m/s, the kinetic energy needs to be (x^2)/2

To check:

[ ] Is the vel variable in the debug mode SPD or IAS?

What tool to use? Cypress?

Cypress depends on NPM, so it would add a lot of libraries/overhead to the process. Which is a pain. On the other hand, it would be nice practice for work, and Cypress does work well.

Requirements for test libraries

[ ] Needs to either be able to have 2 windows open (one to look at values, one to send commands) or otherwise be able to send web requests
[ ] Needs to work with HTML pages (no Angular, etc)

Nice to haves for testing library:

[ ] Relatively little overhead

Cypress can do server requests, planning on going with it.

Problem: It isn't installing right. Looks like it's having Python problems?

Potential contributing factors: Needed to install an old version of Node because the most recent one only supports Windows 8+, Chocolatey couldn't be installed (not sure why)

Maybe put automated testing on hold until finish with the computer upgrade and buy Windows 10 at that time.... Then I could use the WSL to make node/npm/cypress much easier.

Got cypress working by installing version 4.0.1. Now to actually write tests!
