Pesto NPM | npm.io

pesto

The perfect recipe for running integration tests of AngularJS based web applications.

Start with a healthy serving of AngularJS.
Add a dash of Protractor
And optionally enhance with a pinch of SauceLabs.

Ultimately, pesto is a simple API for running integration tests using Protractor and other supporting technologies.

Motivation

There's too many moving parts required to setup integration tests using Protractor and Angular:

Before Pesto:

npm install -g protractor

webdriver-manager update
webdriver-manager start

touch protractor.conf.js
vim protractor.conf.js

protractor protractor.conf.js
webdriver-manager stop

Add saucelabs to the mix and things get even crazier.

The goal of pesto is to make setting up and running integration tests as painless as possible.

After Pesto:

npm install -g pesto
touch protractor.conf.js
vim protractor.conf.js
pesto protractor.conf.js

Pesto comes loaded with the dependencies you need (plus it'll download any supporting binaries or jars you need at runtime).

Also, Pesto doesn't need to be installed globally as shown in the example above. It integrates nicely with technologies like gulpjs and grunt.

Installation

Install via npm:

npm install pesto

Usage

pesto(config)

Where config is the path to the protractor configuration file.

If config includes the sauceUser and sauceKey properties, then the SauceLabs service is used. You can also set the boolean proxy to true to enable a proxy making your local machine available to the SauceLabs virtual machine(s).

Otherwise a local Selenium server is used.

Example Configuration with SauceLabs:

exports.config = {
  sauceUser: process.env.SAUCELABS_USERNAME,
  sauceKey: process.env.SAUCELABS_ACCESS_KEY,
  proxy: true,
  specs: [ 'e2e-tests/**/*-test.js' ],
  multiCapabilities: [
    { browserName: 'firefox' },
    { browserName: 'chrome' },
    { browserName: 'internet explorer', platform: 'Windows 8', version: '10' }
  ]
};

Exampe configuration with local Selenium Server:

exports.config = {
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  specs: [ 'e2e-tests/**/*-test.js' ],
  multiCapabilities: [
    { browserName: 'firefox' },
    { browserName: 'chrome' }
  ]
};

Examples

var pesto = require('pesto');
pesto('path/to/protractor.conf.js');

var pesto = require('pesto');

gulp.task('e2e-tests', function(done) {
  pesto('path/to/protractor.conf.js').then(
    function(success) {
      if(!success) {
        done('Tests failed.');
      } else {
        done();
      }
    },
    done
  );
});

You can also run pesto via the command line if installed globally (npm install -g pesto):
