In the previous article, we talked about ng’s unit testing. Today, let’s talk about e2e (end-to-end) testing.

When we test a single function point of a module, unit testing is most suitable. However, when bugs occur when users interact with multiple pages, unit testing will not work. At this time, e2e must be used to simulate users. Operation restores the problem site. Of course, e2e testing can also be used to test the robustness of the program. Many things that unit testing cannot do, e2e testing can do.

Before, ng used Angular Scenario Runner to run e2e tests, but now it has been replaced by Protractor to run e2e.

Protractor

Protractor is a framework used in Angularjs to test e2e. It itself is an npm module and is built internally on WebDriverJS. Protractor can truly allow your test cases to run on the browser. Completely simulate the real behavior of users.

Some of its resource addresses are posted below:

1.Test api provided by Protractor
2.ProtractorSimple usage example
3.WebDriverJs guide, this is the core that Protractor depends on, the npm module is called selenium-webdriver

Protractor operating principle

Protractor mainly relies on the following things to run e2e tests:

1.WebDriver APIs, the WebDriverJs mentioned above, are related js apis provided by Selenium for front-end testing
2. Selenium Server, a back-end jar package used to communicate with the browser driver
3.WebDriver browser drivers, used to display real website content and communicate with Selenium Server. This is where the real browser operations are transmitted

The entire operation process is as shown below

Use the ng seed project to explain e2e

We use the seed project provided by ng official to explain a real e2e example. First, use the following command to obtain the seed project

Copy code The code is as follows:

git clone https://github.com/angular/angular-seed.git

Then run

Copy code The code is as follows:

npm install

Install all related dependency files

Here we first talk about the configuration files needed to run e2e tests. You can see that the test/protractor-conf.js file is used to configure related functions. Let’s focus on a few properties

1.specs represents the path of the test file to be run, here it is e2e/*.js
2.baseUrl represents the root address of the jump page between browsers in the test file
3.capabilities represents which browser to use to run the test case. For example, if you use chrome, you can set it like this

Copy code The code is as follows:

capabilities: {

'browserName': 'chrome'

}

framework represents which testing framework is used, the one used here is jasmine

After talking about the configuration file, let’s take a look at how to write test cases. First, paste an example from the official website

Copy code The code is as follows:

'use strict';

/* https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md */

describe('my app', function() {

browser.get('index.html');
it('should automatically redirect to /view1 when location hash/fragment is empty', function() {
expect(browser.getLocationAbsUrl()).toMatch("/view1");
});

describe('view1', function() {

    beforeEach(function() {
      browser.get('index.html#/view1');
    });

    it('should render view1 when user navigates to /view1', function() {
      expect(element.all(by.css('[ng-view] p')).first().getText()).
        toMatch(/partial for view 1/);
    });

});

describe('view2', function() {

    beforeEach(function() {
      browser.get('index.html#/view2');
    });

    it('should render view2 when user navigates to /view2', function() {
      expect(element.all(by.css('[ng-view] p')).first().getText()).
        toMatch(/partial for view 2/);
    });

});
});

首先上面的语法是jasmine框架支持的写法,不了解它的用法的可以点击这里

这里只说下上面例子里关于protractor提供的一些常用方法与属性

1.browser,全局对象,代表当前浏览器的一个实例,常用的get方法用来实现浏览器改变地址
2.element,全局对象,提供像jquery里负责查找文档元素的功能,常于by对象联合使用
3.by, 全局对象,提供一个选择器类型,比如可以通过css,model,bind等特性来查找一个元素

关于element与by的方法可以参考上面的protractor api文档

说了这么多,该跑一跑上面的测试用例了,命令比较简单

复制代码代码如下:

npm run update-webdriver

这个负责下载相关的浏览器驱动与selenium-server 本地jar包,一般情况下这个都是会失败的,因为这两个资源都在google服务器那,所以可以利用浏览器翻墙单独下载,地址如下:

1.Chrome Driver地址,一般下载chromedriver_2.9.zip这个文件.

2.selenium-server 本地jar包下载,一般下载selenium-server-standalone-2.40.0.jar这个文件.

然后把selenium-server拷到protractor包里的selenium文件夹里去,假如上面的命令超时之后,这里也会出现文件不过是空的,直接替换就可以;还要把chromedriver_2.9.zip解压之后的文件拷到这里
