walnutjs is a collection of generic steps for interact with web-applications.

You can easily simulate user interactions using a business-readable way. You only need to write some feature files using the Gherkin syntax and plan your tests with BDD (Behavior Driven Development) pattern.

Enjoy It!

Getting Started

These instructions will give you a sample feature file to show you how easy is to make your own tests

Prerequisites

Before continue, check that you have completed the following requirements:

• java - Java runtime environment - tested on 1.8.0_211
• nodejs - A javascript runtime - tested on v10.16.0
• selenium webserver:
  • webdriver-manager - A selenium server and browser driver manager.
  • zalenium - A flexible and scalable selenium grid.

Setup the project

1. Start by creating a simple nodejs project and add walnutjs to it:

   mkdir my-app && cd my-app
   npm init -y
   npm i --save walnutjs

2. Setting up a walnut-config.js file inside rootFolder based on this file
3. Create a folder structure like that:

   > my-app
       > test
           > features
               sample.feature
           > step-defs
               custom-steps.js
           > locators
               locators.json
           > params
               params.json

   You can create these folders above on your own, just be sure to indicate the correct paths inside walnut-config.js file.

4. Add the folowing content to locators.json file:

   {
       "containers":[
           {
               "name": "GoogleHome",
               "locators":[
                   { "key": "SearchInput", "type": "name", "value": "q" },
                   { "key": "SearchButton", "type": "p:xpath", "value": "//input[@value='{0}']" }
               ]
           }
       ]
   }

5. Add the following content to sample.feature file:

   Feature: First test with walnutjs
   
       @simple_web
       Scenario: I want see the Google Page
           Given user navigates to 'http://www.google.com'
           When user fills 'GoogleHome-SearchInput' by replacing text with 'led zeppelin wikipedia'
           And user clicks on 'GoogleResult-SearchButton'

6. Before execution check that selenium webserver was started correctly. For this sample we will use webdriver-manager

   webdriver-manager start
   ...
   10:15:57.230 INFO [SeleniumServer.boot] - Selenium Server is up and running on port 4444

7. Define a single start script in your package.json:

    "scripts": {
       "start": "walnut",
     }

8. Execute your script

   npm start

   You can also run using $(npm bin)/walnut on your terminal
