chrome-stub v1.6.0

chrome-stub

Chrome API mocking library.

npm install chrome-stub

usage

In most cases you will want to set this as a global at the top of your test file, because chrome is a global in your extension code.

chrome = require('chrome-stub')

i18n

To use the I18n library, chrome-stub loads a default messages.json file that has only one string in it, 'test' If you pass a string that does not exist, you will receive a blank string back.

If you want to load a different messages.json file, for example the one you use in your chrome extension then use the method below in your test file.

_locales/ru/messages.json

{
	"test": {
		"message": "Тест"
	}
}

test.js

let path = require('path');

let config = path.resolve(process.cwd(), '_locales/ru/messages.json');

chrome.loadDefaults(config);
chrome.i18n.getMessage('test'); // Тест

All other APIs

All chrome APIs have been stubbed with sinon stub. You can define your own application-specific behavior of the stubs by following the sinon stub api. This allows you to define your behavior within your tests. For example:

// inside test
chrome.tabs.query.yields([{
  id:0,index:0,windowId:0,highlighted:true,
  active:true,pinned:false,url:'https://example.com',title:'example.com - Home',
  favIconUrl:'https://example.com/favicon.ico',status:'complete',width:800,height:600
}]);

// do something that causes your code to call chrome.tabs.query, e.g.:
getFirstTab(function(tab){
  // ...
  // your code's callback is called with the value provided to yields()
});
