@vikramarka This we tried with nightwatch execution will generate a html report. But we are looking for generating the html report with nightwatchjs_exporter as shown below. We cannot add such argument --reporter html-reporter.js in nightwatchjs_exporter. we can get only failed snapshots not html reportes

./nightwatchjs_exporter -n /home/opc/nightwatch/node_modules/nightwatch/bin/nightwatch -t /home/opc/nightwatch/node_modules/nightwatch/bin/ --delay=10

Is there any encryption logic for password using nightwatch?

@ravikumar2000

like base64 encode logic for password in nightwatch modules?

ravikumar2000

@ravikumar2000

we are observing this issues while running >10 modules in nightwatchjs exporter with concurrency of 4 cpu
appreciate your quick help on this

can we record video of our nightwatch tests execution in windows?

ravikumar2000

@ravikumar2000

yes this is with browser stack it is possible to record your test suite execution with video how it displays?

I am trying to write an assertion to make sure that the username is getting typed correctly and i was using .assert.containtsText('elementID', 'username') and it is return null. I have looked at the recordings and i can see that the username was actually typed out though

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

hey @DustinBest, can you use getValue instead and assert on that?

I think you want to assert the value of the form element and containsText is not correct command for that.

DustinBest

@DustinBest

i tried getValue but get the error "Error: Provided locating strategy "#login_pass" is not supported for .getValue(). It must be one of the following: id, css selector, link text, partial link text, tag name, xpath.

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

can you share the snippet of the code?

DustinBest

@DustinBest

this is the first i am using nightwatch so theres not much set up yet

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

try using assert.value('#login_user','username') after setValue

getValue requires a callback method too so it's better to use assert.value directly

DustinBest

@DustinBest

when i use that i get the error "element could not be located". I checked the recordings and the element is there and its getting updated with the username

a more detailed response shows this "errorStatus":405,"error":"Method has not yet been implemented","httpStatusCode":501}

i am using browerstack which is using nightwatch to write the scripts which might be part of it

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

Strange, I will try using browserstack and check, it should work.

DustinBest

@DustinBest

yeah, maybe i configured something wrong. This is new for us

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

can you share the code base in the chat so that I work on the same thing and resolve it?

DustinBest

@DustinBest

a lot of the stuff i have so far is revolving around logging into my companies product site which is private. beyond that snippet above, not sure what you need to see, but we may be able to modify the code to show you

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

yeah, it's hard to reproduce the issue if we are testing on different website

maybe setting up a test repo would resolve it

DustinBest

@DustinBest

yeah, i am actually building off of the nightwatch-browserstack demo repo that i just modified the config with my username and key and then set up the above script to run on an ipad 12

@DustinBest

i set the url to google.com and just typed into the search bar and when i do the assertion i still get the same result

RE: securely using the test password. Instead of hardcoding it, read it from an env var.

Has anyone one implemented nightwatch.js auto tests execution(Drupal 8) on Pantheon server?

@RachaelKlein92

Good morning,

Could you please advise whether Nightwatch testing framework supports the following?

Desktop:
IE11 - yes/no?
Edge - yes/no?
Chromium - yes/no?
Firefox - yes/no?
Safari - yes/no?

Mobile: Responsive web:
Chrome - yes/no?
Safari - yes/no?

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

Hey @RachaelKlein92 it's possible to run test on all of the above using nightwatch

I'm trying to get both unit and e2e testing set up for my team, but for the unit tests I'm not sure about the right way to import vue components that I want to test. Can unit tests also use the BDD Describe stuff?

Hi. I'm trying to run my nightwatch tests on headless firefox, but can't get it to work. My config includes

firefox: {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'firefox',
javascriptEnabled : true,
acceptSslCerts: true,
acceptInsecureCerts: true,
firefoxOptions: {
w3c: false,
headless: true,
args: [
'--enable-features=NetworkService,NetworkServiceInProcess',
'--ignore-certificate-errors',
'--disable-web-security',
'--window-size=1920,1080',
'--disable-extensions',
'--start-maximized',
'--disable-dev-shm-usage',
'disable-infobars',
'disable-notifications',
'--log-level=3',
'--headless'],
prefs: {

any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Is there a way to modify a web page before it's parsed? I would like to replace a <script src=...> element in a test.

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

Hey @dharls36, the following is the desired capabilities to use firefox in headless mode.
Hope this helps.

desiredCapabilities: {
        'moz:firefoxOptions': {
          args: [
            '--headless'],
        }
      }

Hey @redoxeon, it is totally possibe to run unit test cases using nightwatch with describe thing. you can set unit_tests_mode:true in your nightwatch config and you are ready go. Below is the simple example of it. For more information on unit test cases you can refer this. Hope it helps 😃

const add = require('./add');
const assert = require('assert');
describe('Adding two numbers',function (){
    it('adding two numbers',function(){
        const sum = add(2,3);
        assert.strictEqual(sum,5);
    })
})

hey, If I expose some global methods eg. window.e2e
how can I access them in the test?
I want to write API for testing

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

Hey @neu5, I didn't get your use case quite clearly. would it be possible to elaborate it or maybe share a code snippet?

neu5

@neu5

hey @gravityvi, my application renders in <canvas> so I cannot interact with it via DOM elements. So my idea was to create global object on window, eg. e2e holding methods eg.
e2e: { doSmth() }
that method under the hoods can call the backend endpoint or whatever. I'm trying to have tests looking like

client
      .url("http://localhost:5000/")
      .makePlayerDie('playerName')
      .pause(2000) // wait for backend to perform
      .checkIfPlayerIsDead('playerName')
      .respawnPlayer('playerName')
      .checkIfPlayerIsAlive('playerName')
      .end()

this makePlayerDie, checkIfPlayerIsDead, respawnPlayer, checkIfPlayerIsAlive are methods available in
window.e2e global
but I don't know how to access this global from the nightwatch

neu5

@neu5

okey, it looks like I am on the right path. I need to use execute :)

Hi, I have problem to use basic authentication in Safari. Url like "https://user:pass@hostname.com" works for Chrome and Firefox, but won't work for Safari. Do we have a solution except proxy?

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

Hi @tim-yao, can you share your nightwatch config?

Tim Yao

@tim-yao

@gravityvi I mean just browser.url("https://user:pass@hostname.com"); won't work for Safari.

Safari in MacOS does not support basic authentication by passing the username and password in URL. Unfortunately, currently we do not have any workaround to solve this problem.

Looks like no solution for it based on this doc about selenium:
https://www.browserstack.com/docs/automate/selenium/basic-http-authentication#pass-username-and-password-in-the-url

Hi.

I've just installed the latest Nightwatch (npm node package) version 1.7.7 and the way I run my tests is no longer working.

If I run my tests on a group basis:

npx nightwatch -c config/local.conf.js -e chrome --g carInsurance

it works ok.

However, if I run them on a tag basis:

npx nightwatch -c config/local.conf.js -e chrome --t carInsuranceTest

it runs all of my tests, not just the tests with the carInsuranceTest tag.

Has the way you run tests using tags changed in the latest Nightwatch version (my tests worked Ok in my previous nightwatch version, which was 0.9.21)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ravi Sawlani

@gravityvi

Hey @dharls36, I am not able to reproduce the issue. Can you share your project structure and nightwatch config?
