TucoTuco
Testing for Elixir web applications.
TucoTuco helps you test your web application by running a web browser and simulating user interaction with your application.
With a DSL approximating that of Capybara's, it should be easy for developers to write tests for a web application.
Setup
In your mix.exs add the following to the test environment deps:
{:tuco_tuco, "~>0.8.1", only: test}Either specify tuco_tuco in your application block in mix.exs or do:
:application.start TucoTucoRequirements
Testing requires that you have Phantomjs, Firefox or ChromeDriver installed.
The WebDriver library will also prompt you to install the Firefox plugin with
mix webdriver.firefox.plugin if it is not present.
You can also test against a remote WebDriver server such as a Selenium instance.
Documentation
Here is a rough guide to using TucoTuco.
Starting A Session
Import the DSL functionality with:
use TucoTuco.DSLStart a session with:
TucoTuco.start_session :browser_name, :session_name, :browser_typeWhere browser_name and session_name are atoms to reference the running browser and session with later and browser_type is one of
* :phantomjs
* :firefox
* :chromedriver
* :remoteNavigation
Visit sends the browser to other pages.
visit "http://elixir-lang.org"
visit "/login"Relative urls will be appended with the TucoTuco.app_root value.
You can go back and forward in the browser history:
go_forward
go_backAnd query the current url:
current_url
current_path
current_query
current_portClicking
You can click on a link or button with the click_link and
click_button commands.
click_link "Home"
click_link "i3"
click_button "Back"
click_button "Submit"Yet to come: mouse movements.
Forms
Interacting with forms is easy with TucoTuco's functions for that:
fill_in "Login", "Stuart"
fill_in "Password", "secret_password"
click_button "Submit"
choose "A radio button"
select "Carrot"
select "Tomato", from: "Vegetables"
check "A Checkbox"You can even attach files:
attach_file "Upload Picture", "path/to/my_photo.png"Querying
Getting information about the page to use in assertions:
Page.has_css? "table thead tr.header"
Page.has_xpath? "//foo/bar[@name='baz']"
Page.has_text? "Some text from the page"
Page.has_link? "Back"
With 'hascss?andhas_xpath?you can specify a count of how many should be found. ```elixir # Check that there are 5 rows in the table. Page.has_css? "table tbody tr", count: 5 ``` There are many more. Check the documentation for them. ### Assertions TucoTuco supplies two assertions that you can use directly in tests: ```elixir assert_selector :xpath, "//foo/bar" refute_selector :xpath, "//baz[@class='bob']" ``` ### Finder Finder return elements from the DOM. ```elixir Finder.find :id, "foo" Finder.find :css, ".bar" Finder.find :xpath, "//foo/bar" ``` Find returns an Element record. ### Elements The following functions for manipulating elements are imported from WebDriver, they all take a WebDriver.Element struct as the first argument. Luckily that is exactly what all the finders return: ```elixir Element.attribute reference, :a_html_attribute Element.clear reference Element.click reference Element.css reference, "some-css-property-name" Element.displayed? reference Element.enabled? reference Element.equals? reference, other_reference Element.location? reference Element.location_in_view? reference Element.name reference Element.selected? reference Element.size reference Element.submit reference Element.text reference Element.value reference, "value to set" ``` For more detailed docs on the Element functions see [WebDriver.Element](http://stuart.github.io/elixir-webdriver/WebDriver.Element.html). ### Javascript Javascript can be run using theexecute_javascriptandexecute_async_javascript`
commands.
elixir iex> execute_javascript "return argument[0] * 10", [3] iex> 30
### Retrying
When you are testing applications that have Javascript modifying the page
it is possible that elements will not be available when you want them because
the browser script takes some time to run.
To alleviate this TucoTuco has retry settings. When retry is turned on all the
Page.has_foo? and action functions will retry for a set number of times before failing.
You can also use the retry function yourself like this:
elixir # Find elements TucoTuco.Finder.find using, selector # Any function TucoTuco.Retry.retry fn -> my_function(args) end
Changing retry settings:
elixir # Set retries on TucoTuco.use_retries true # Set the maximum retry time in milliseconds. TucoTuco.max_retry_time 1000 # Set the delay between retries in milliseconds. TucoTuco.retry_delay 20
### Multiple Sessions
You can run multiple sessions on different browser or on the same browser.
To start a session use:
TucoTuco.start_session :browser_name, :session_name, browser_type
Where the browser type is one of :phantomjs, :firefox or :chrome.
If the process :browser_name is already running the session will be started on
that, otherwise a new browser will start running.
Once you have multiple sessions running you can swap sessions with:
TucoTuco.session :new_session
And to get a list of sessions that are running:
TucoTuco.sessions
### Screenshot
When the driver supports it, you can take a screenshot and
save it as a PNG file.
save_screenshot "path/to/file.png"
Example Session from console:
elixir iex(1)> use TucoTuco.DSL :ok iex(2)> TucoTuco.start_session :test_browser, :tuco_test, :phantomjs {:ok, %TucoTuco.SessionPool.SessionPoolState{app_root: nil, current_session: :tuco_test, max_retry_time: 2000, retry_delay: 50, use_retry: false}} iex(3)> visit "http://elixir-lang.org" {:ok, %WebDriver.Protocol.Response{request: %WebDriver.Protocol.Request{body: "{\"url\":\"http://elixir-lang.org\"}", headers: ["Content-Type": "application/json;charset=UTF-8", "Content-Length": 32], method: :POST, url: "http://localhost:57491/wd/hub/session/4dc0b3b0-26b8-11e4-85b9-7b8e9f3c77e7/url"}, session_id: "4dc0b3b0-26b8-11e4-85b9-7b8e9f3c77e7", status: 0, value: %{}}} iex(4)> click_link "getting started guide" {:ok, %WebDriver.Protocol.Response{request: %WebDriver.Protocol.Request{body: "{}", headers: ["Content-Type": "application/json;charset=UTF-8", "Content-Length": 2], method: :POST, url: "http://localhost:57491/wd/hub/session/4dc0b3b0-26b8-11e4-85b9-7b8e9f3c77e7/element/:wdc:1408353394161/click"}, session_id: "4dc0b3b0-26b8-11e4-85b9-7b8e9f3c77e7", status: 0, value: %{}}} iex(5)> current_url "http://elixir-lang.org/getting_started/1.html" iex(6)> Page.has_css?

## Using with Phoenix
Here are some preliminary instructions for using TucoTuco for
testing Phoenix applications.
### Dependencies
Edit mix.exs to include the tuco_tuco dependency and to start TucoTuco in test mode.
```elixir
def application do
[
mod: { Photuco, [] },
applications: applications(Mix.env)
]
end
defp applications do
[:phoenix, :cowboy]
end
defp applications :test do
applications ++ [:tuco_tuco]
end
defp applications do
applications
end
defp deps do
[
{:phoenix, github: "phoenixframework/phoenix"},
{:cowboy, "~> 1.0.0"},
{:tucotuco, "~>0.8.1"}
]
end
### Test Setup Add the setup block for the tests in the `foo_test.exs` fileelixir
setup_all do
router = Phoenix.Project.module_root.Router
port = Phoenix.Config.get([router,:port])
router.start
{:ok, } = TucoTuco.start_session :test_browser, :test_session, :firefox
TucoTuco.app_root "http://localhost:#{port}"
on_exit fn -> TucoTuco.stop end
:ok
end
```
