I am trying to write UI automation scripts to perform the automated testing of a vs code extension. After reading tutorials about spectron/ vs code test, I found that they both need source code to perform tests. I am trying to perform from a QA side and hence I have the extension installed on my vs code but now I need to perform automation.
I am able to launch vs code and open the extension using selenium-webdriver but cannot access the elements that are loaded under vs code web view. VS code hides the web element for the extension and hence selenium-webdriver cannot find the elements.
{ describe, it, after, before } require('mocha');
// const Config = require('../../config/config.json');
const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
By = webdriver.By
const assert = require('chai').assert
function sleep(ms) {
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}
try{
describe('Launch VS Code', function(){
this.timeout(20000);
let driver= new webdriver.Builder()
// The "9515" is the port opened by chrome driver.
.usingServer('http://localhost:9515')
.withCapabilities({
chromeOptions: {
// Here is the path to your Electron binary"
binary: 'path to vs code'
}
})
.forBrowser('electron')
.build();
it('open extension', async function(){
await driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[contains(@aria-label,'View')]")).click()
await driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='Command Palette...']")).click()
await driver.findElement(By.className('input')).sendKeys('extensionname')
await driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'extensionname')]")).click()
await sleep(5000)
await driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(@title,'extension title')]")).click()
var title =await driver.getTitle()
assert.equal(title,'extensiontitle')
await sleep(5000)
await driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.tagName('iframe')))
await driver.getPageSource().then(function(tmptext){
console.log(tmptext.includes('extension web element'))
})
});
})
}
catch(ex){
console.log(ex)
}
the code should be able to find the web driver and complete the test.
