This code is pretty nice,

it('should test something', function(done) {
return client.click('#button').getValue('#someInput').then(function(value) {
 expect(value).to.be.exactly('some value');
});
});

But what is the closest to return client.click('#button').getValue('#someInput') === 'some value' ?

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

is meant for Cucumber, why does it use Mocha and Chai?

it’s using yadda to enable cucumber like testing but in the background it is using mocha and chai for assertions

if you use cucumberjs you probably want to use an additional assertion library as well

But what is the closest to return client.click('#button').getValue('#someInput') === 'some value’ ?

we will probably get to a point where this is gonna be possible

@vslinko

is it possible to configure Accept-Language header?

@christian-bromann

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

you can do:

it('should test something', function(done) {
    yield client.click('#button’);
    expect(yield client.getValue('#someInput’)).to.be.exactly('some value');
});

@vslinko you mean for request in the browser?

Dan Dascalescu

@dandv

I thought CucumberJS included its own assertion library? http://custardbelly.com/blog/blog-posts/2014/01/08/bdd-in-js-cucumberjs/

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

cucumber-js does but not yadda

Dan Dascalescu

@dandv

I see. Is there an article I can read about the reasons for preferring yadda over cucumber for the boilerplate?

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

as I started to put this together I preferred yadda because they supported step tables

by now I guess both libraries are equally good

personally I like the the yadda code base more

Dan Dascalescu

@dandv

Yadda's README says "Yadda brings true BDD to JavaScript test frameworks such as Jasmine, Mocha, QUnit, Nodeunit, WebDriverJs and CasperJS.". Is WebDriverJS a test framework?

Vyacheslav Slinko

@vslinko

@christian-bromann yes, for request

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

maybe using a browser flag but not with Selenium

Is WebDriverJS a test framework

I would say no, it is a tool for e2e testing

Sadly, I’m back with waitForExist, I still struggle with it when provided selector doesn’t exist, in 2.4.0 promise is resolved successfully and it returns false as a result. In 3.x it’s also resolved successfully, but result is undefined:

var cb, options, webdriverio, client;
webdriverio = require('webdriverio');
options = {desiredCapabilities: {browserName: 'chrome'}};
client = webdriverio.remote(options);

cb = function (success) {
  return function (result) {
    console.log(success, result);
    return client.end();
  };
};

client.init()
  .url('http://www.google.com/')
  .waitForExist('div.nonsense')
  .then(cb('success'), cb('fail'));

@jaroslav-kubicek this seems like a serious bug, could you please file an issue?

yep, wait a moment..

@miguelrivera

is there an onError hook for each "it" in mocha? Do you guys know?

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

you can catch errors with

browser.on(‘error’, function(e) {….

Miguel Rivera

@miguelrivera

oh, cool, and that can be hooked up on the before in the wdio.conf.js i guess

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

yes sir :wink:

Miguel Rivera

@miguelrivera

        browser.on("error", function(e) {
            browser.saveScreenshot();
        });

Should that be a bad idea?

Miguel Rivera

@miguelrivera

    // Saves a screenshot to a given path if a command fails.
    screenshotPath: 'shots',

Will that be done out of the box?

I mean, will the runner save pictures by default?

I'm currently hitting this issue: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/webdriverio/b7cFK-4Qwo4 when using the xolvio:cucumber package for Meteor. Thinking that it should be related to webdriverio, I'm posting here. Here's a brief description of the error text I'm receiving: xolvio/meteor-cucumber#187

Christian Bromann

@christian-bromann

@miguelrivera yes

if a command fails for some reason (assertion failed) it should make a screenshot before printing the error

@rjakobsson since you already opened that issue, let’s continue convo there

Robin Jakobsson

@rjakobsson

@christian-bromann ok!

Krishna Rajendran

@blazzy

When I use the mocha framework with the wdio test runner is there a way to pass additional command line flags or options to mocha?

If you want to define specific Mocha settings you can do that by adding mochaOpts to your configuration file

Not sure how I missed that on my first pass :point_up:

Any ideas what might cause

Exception thrown

@christian-bromann has #215 been resolved? It's closed, but the bug's still there

@onewithhammer

@TheSavior - you are trying to use webdriver after calling quit(). I had this problem using grunt-webdriver plugin. The plugin will call quit for you. Please check to make sure you aren't calling quit before test are complete.

@ButuzGOL

Hello Can anybody help me how can I prevent error on waitForExist ?

Miguel Rivera

@miguelrivera

@ButuzGOL what is the error?

Slava

@ButuzGOL

Error: element (#sessions-concurrent-modal .modal) still not visible after 5000ms

This is my gist https://gist.github.com/ButuzGOL/82db43568f25b108b4d9

The problem is that I can show one of two dom items and I need to handle only one which will be shown

csoete

@csoete

just add catch(function() {}); to each call, I think...

the best way would probably be to use two deferreds and reject each on catch and q.any to resolve a combination of both promises
