OE Test Agent

An e2e tool for Progress OpenEdge applications with Protractor

Quick start

The OE Test Agent was developed in order to make our e2e test for OpenEdge applications easier.

Our dev team was already familiar with Protractor, so we took advantage of that to create this project using only socket communication between JavaScript and OE and an external tool - also created by us - called "Robot".

In other words, the OE Test Agent acts as a web driver of Protractor, allowing it to interact with OpenEdge applications as a user would. We also built a set of TypeScript libraries for helping developers to manipulate widgets, properties and events of OpenEdge applications, so that you can easily write tests in a traditional behavior-driven development style.

Installation

npm i oe-test-agent

Other tools

In order to make this project work with all kinds of Progress OpenEdge applications, besides the socket communication, we had to build an auxiliary tool that we decided to call "Robot".

Robot.exe

If you are familiar with Progress OE applications, you probably know that visual messages - with VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX attributes - block every other execution until the user closes the current message.

To solve that, we created "Robot.exe". This tool - built using "Auto It" - simulates a mouse click to the opened message and can also send keyboard events to any other Windows application that is currently open.

Heads up! You may need to sign "Robot.exe" with a valid certificate or add it to your antivirus whitelist.
