Pepino NPM | npm.io

Pepino

Pepino translates plain english UI steps from the Pepino Language into UI automation instructions, sends those instructions to automation services, and reports results.

Requirements

Node v4.4.7 (or newer)
NPM v2.15.8 (or newer)
Terminal or Console

Installation/Upgrade

You need to install the Pepino tool so that you can convert step files into js files.

npm install -g pepino

You also need to install Chimp to run the cucumber specifications with the converted js files.

npm install -g chimp@0.38.0 (please don't use v0.39 because of a bug in cucumberjs 1.2.1)

Setup a project

Any project that will use Cucumber should have a folder called "features". Inside that folder, you should have all your cucumber-formatted specifications. Your Pepino step files should probably be in the same folder for easy access. Here's an example folder structure:

./
./src
./src/images
./features
./features/login
./features/login/authentication.feature
./features/login/authentication.step
./features/registration
./features/registration/first_time.feature
./features/registration/first_time.step

Use

While using the console, navigate to the root folder of your project. From there, you can run the following command to convert Pepino step files to javascript:

pepino

Once your Pepino step files have been converted, you can run Chimp to execute the specifications.

chimp

NOTE: Remember that, when you modify your Pepino step files, you need to convert them again before trying to execute them.

Samples

To help you get started, you can use the sample specifications and steps in the pepino-lib repository. Check the files in the ./test_assets/ folder. You can copy those files into your own ./features folder and get started immediately.
