[Thali-talk] jxcore-cordova-tests

[Yaron Goland]

We are just starting to think seriously about testing. What we are trying to do is radically minimize our native dependencies and then provide a mock layer for them to we can run functional tests on Travis or equivalent.

We really want to keep the “on device” tests as what we used to call BVTs or Nightlies. Just because they are such a completely nightmare to run. Our plan is to set up a lab with a bunch of devices that we can remotely provision and run tests on. So likely as not we will have a dedicated server that collects outputs from the devices and sees if they passed their tests or not.

It’s all a work in progress. Right now we are more focused on just getting story -1 and story 0 out the door.

               Thanks,

                              Yaron

This is a good framework for integration tests and gives some performance feedback on how fast the communication between the server and the client is. One problem I ran into was trying to run the server side unit tests. Mocha has a binary executable that it performs the tests with, I didn't find a way to execute the binary on the android client, so I wasn't able to run the server side superagent tests. It may be possible to copy over the binary from the APK archive, change the permission to executable and run the file, more testing is needed...

Cheers,
Dominique

This is pretty cool. I opened https://github.com/thaliproject/Thali_CordovaPlugin/issues/15 and referenced your work as an example.

               Thanks!

I thought I should let you know about a project I've been doing some work on.

https://github.com/deefactorial/jxcore-cordova-tests

I've integrated the superagent tests to test the browser integration with the node express server using jxcore-cordova project. I can use this now to test any problems I'm having with the integration of the jxcore-cordova project.

The tests run in the webview and test the integration with the express server running on jxcore using mocha and the tests from superagent repo.

Cheers,
Dominique
