@financial-times/n-automation v2.4.0

n-automation

Run automated regression tests for your app using nightwatch.js and get results on Slack and email.

Installation

npm install @financial-times/n-automation

Usage

Makefile

Write a regression recipe on your Makefile containing the tests you'd like to run, passing the n-automation reporter to nht nightwatch:

REPORTER = ./node_modules/@financial-times/n-automation/build/reporter.js

regression:
	nht nightwatch -c nightwatch.js path/to/test.js --reporter ${REPORTER}
	nht nightwatch -c nightwatch.js path/to/anotherTest.js --reporter ${REPORTER}
	...

Init

Init n-automation in an independent file somewhere in your project, for example jobs/run-regression.js:

const Automation = require('@financial-times/n-automation');

Automation.run({
	appName: 'Your App Name',
	nightwatchJson: require('../nightwatch.js')
});

Only pass in nightwatchJson if your project has a nightwatch config. If not, send only appName and n-automation will default to the n-heroku-tools nightwatch config file
