# End to End Testing Environment

A reusable and extendable E2E testing environment for WooCommerce extensions.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @woocommerce/e2e-environment --save
npm install jest --global
```

## Configuration

The `@woocommerce/e2e-environment` package exports configuration objects that can be consumed in JavaScript config files in your project. Additionally, it includes a basic hosting container for running tests and includes instructions for creating your Travis CI setup.

### Babel Config

Make sure you `npm install @babel/preset-env --save` if you have not already done so. Afterwards, extend your project's `babel.config.js` to contain the expected presets for E2E testing.

```js
const { useE2EBabelConfig } = require( '@woocommerce/e2e-environment' );

module.exports = function( api ) {
	api.cache( true );

	return useE2EBabelConfig( {
		presets: [
			'@wordpress/babel-preset-default',
		],
	} );
};
```

### ES Lint Config

The E2E environment uses Puppeteer for headless browser testing, which uses certain globals variables. Avoid ES Lint errors by extending the config.

```js
const { useE2EEsLintConfig } = require( '@woocommerce/e2e-environment' );

module.exports = useE2EEsLintConfig( {
	root: true,
	env: {
		browser: true,
		es6: true,
		node: true
	},
	globals: {
		wp: true,
		wpApiSettings: true,
		wcSettings: true,
		es6: true
	},
} );
```

### Jest Config

The E2E environment uses Jest as a test runner. Extending the base config is necessary in order for Jest to run your project's test files.

```js
const path = require( 'path' );
const { useE2EJestConfig } = require( '@woocommerce/e2e-environment' );

const jestConfig = useE2EJestConfig( {
	roots: [ path.resolve( __dirname, '../specs' ) ],
} );

module.exports = jestConfig;
```

**NOTE:** Your project's Jest config file is: `tests/e2e/config/jest.config.js`.

#### Test Screenshots

The test sequencer provides a screenshot function for test failures. To enable screenshots on test failure use

```shell script
WC_E2E_SCREENSHOTS=1 npx wc-e2e test:e2e
```

Screenshots will be saved to `tests/e2e/screenshots`. This folder is cleared at the beginning of each test run.

### Jest Puppeteer Config

The test sequencer uses the following default Puppeteer configuration:

```js
// headless
	puppeteerConfig = {
		launch: {
			// Required for the logged out and logged in tests so they don't share app state/token.
			browserContext: 'incognito',
		},
	};
// dev mode
	puppeteerConfig = {
		launch: {
			...jestPuppeteerConfig.launch, // @automattic/puppeteer-utils
			ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
			headless: false,
			args: [ '--window-size=1920,1080', '--user-agent=chrome' ],
			devtools: true,
			defaultViewport: {
				width: 1280,
				height: 800,
			},
		},
	};
```

You can customize the configuration in `tests/e2e/config/jest-puppeteer.config.js`

```js
const { useE2EJestPuppeteerConfig } = require( '@woocommerce/e2e-environment' );

const puppeteerConfig = useE2EJestPuppeteerConfig( {
	launch: {
		headless: false,
	}
} );

module.exports = puppeteerConfig;
```

### Jest Setup

Jest provides [setup and teardown functions](https://jestjs.io/docs/setup-teardown) similar to PHPUnit. The default setup and teardown is in [`tests/e2e/env/src/setup/jest.setup.js`](src/setup/jest.setup.js). Additional setup and teardown functions can be added to [`tests/e2e/config/jest.setup.js`](../config/jest.setup.js)

### Container Setup

Depending on the project and testing scenario, the built in testing environment container might not be the best solution for testing. This could be local testing where there is already a testing container, a repository that isn't a plugin or theme and there are multiple folders mapped into the container, or similar. The `e2e-environment` test runner supports using either the built in container or an external container. See the appropriate readme for  details:

- [Built In Container](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/trunk/tests/e2e/env/builtin.md)
- [External Container](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/trunk/tests/e2e/env/external.md)

### Slackbot Setup

The test runner has support for posting a message and screenshot to a Slack channel when there is an error in a test. It currently supports both Travis CI and Github actions.

To implement the Slackbot in your CI:

- Create a [Slackbot App](https://slack.com/help/articles/115005265703-Create-a-bot-for-your-workspace)
- Give the app the following permissions:
  - `channel:join`
  - `chat:write`
  - `files:write`
  - `incoming-webhook`
- Add the app to your channel
- In your CI environment
  - Add the environment variable `WC_E2E_SCREENSHOTS=1`
  - Add your app Oauth token to a CI secret `E2E_SLACK_TOKEN`
  - Add the Slack channel name (without the #) to a CI secret `E2E_SLACK_CHANNEL`
  - Add the secrets to the test run using the same variable names

To test your setup, create a pull request that triggers an error in the E2E tests.
