I'm having issues while trying to send PhantomJS calls to servers from my Mocha testsuite.
Problem
I'm trying to use PhantomJS to do calls against an endpoint. I have the first call working.
But I have two problems:
- The current script runs well for the first time, but consecutive runs when watching some files make the tests fail. Do do I solve this?
- This does not seem like a nice way to do these tests, is there a better alternative?
Setup:
- Gulp as watcher
- gulp-mocha to run tests
- phantom-sync to do some end2end testing
Mocha test file (simplified):
if(typeof process != 'undefined') {
var should = require('chai').should();
var _ps = require('phantom-sync');
var phantom = _ps.phantom;
var sync = _ps.sync;
}
describe('Login', function() {
this.timeout(5000);
it('should be able to open CMS', function(done) {
sync(function() {
var ph = phantom.create();
var page = ph.createPage();
var status = page.open('http://www.google.com'); // Get a default CMS url...
status.should.equal('success');
ph.exit();
return done();
});
});
it('should redirect after successful login');
});
Gulpfile (simplified):
gulp.task('test-develop', ['scripts'], function() {
return test(null, true);
});
var keepAlive = false;
function test(reporter, _keepAlive) {
keepAlive = _keepAlive;
return gulp.src('test/**/*.js')
.pipe(plugins.plumber())
.pipe(plugins.mocha({ reporter: reporter || 'spec' })
.on('error', onError));
}
function onError(err) {
console.log(err.toString());
if (keepAlive) {
this.emit('end');
} else {
// if you want to be really specific
process.exit(1);
}
}
gulp.task('watch-test', function() {
gulp.watch('test/**/*.js', ['test-develop']);
});
