WebdriverIO + tape

This repository demonstrates how to use WebdriverIO with the tape test framework.

It includes a test file (tests/test.spec.js) that:

1. opens the Firefox browser (as defined in tests/conf.js);
2. visits the URL https://duckduckgo.com; and
3. tests the title of the page to match an expected value.

Requirements

• Docker with selenium-standalone installed; see here.

Installation

npm install

Getting started

Run the Docker service containing the Selenium server that will run all tests.

docker run -it -p 4444:4444 vvoyer/selenium-standalone

Run the example test:

npm test

The result should be something similar to the below output:

TAP version 13
# should visit DuckDuckGo
ok 1 should be equal

1..1
# tests 1
# pass  1

# ok

The example test checks the <title> tag of DuckDuckGo. If the test fails, it is because the title has changed (the output should indicate this).
