WooCommerce End to End Tests
Automated end-to-end tests for WooCommerce.
Table of contents
Pre-requisites
Install NodeJS
Install NodeJS on Mac:
brew install node
Install Docker
Install Docker Desktop if you don't have it installed:
Once installed, you should see Docker Desktop is running
message with the green light next to it indicating that everything is working as expected.
Note, that if you install docker through other methods such as homebrew, for example, your steps to set it up will be different. The commands listed in steps below may also vary.
Configuration
This section explains how e2e tests are working behind the scenes. These are not instructions on how to build environment for running e2e tests and run them. If you are looking for instructions on how to run e2e tests, jump to Running tests.
Test Environment
We recommend using Docker for running tests locally in order for the test environment to match the setup on Travis CI (where Docker is also used for running tests). An official WordPress Docker image is used to build the site. Once the site using the WP Docker image is built, the current WooCommerce dev branch is being copied to the plugins
folder of that newly built test site. No WooCommerce Docker image is being built or needed.
Environment Variables
During the process of Docker building a container with test site for running tests, site URL is being set. Admin and customer users are also being created in advance with details specified in the docker-compose.yaml
file. As a result, there is ./tests/e2e/config/default.json
file that contains pre-set variables needed to run the test:
{
"url": "http://localhost:8084/",
"users": {
"admin": {
"username": "admin",
"password": "password"
},
"customer": {
"username": "customer",
"password": "password"
}
}
}
If you changed either site URL or one of the users details in the docker-compose.yaml
file, you'd need to copy the content of the default.json
, paste it to test-e2e.json
and edit it further there to match your own setup.
Jest test sequencer
Jest is being used to run e2e tests. By default, jest runs tests ordered by the time it takes to run the test (the test that takes longer to run will be run first, the test that takes less time to run will run last). Jest sequencer introduces tools that can be used to specify the order in which the tests are being run. In our case, they are being run in alphabetical order of the directories where tests are located. This way, tests in the new directory activate-and-setup
will run first.
Setup Wizard e2e test (located in activate-and-setup
directory) will run before all other tests. This will allow making sure that WooCommerce is activated on the site and for the setup wizard to be completed on a brand new install of WooCommerce.
Running tests
Prep work for running tests
-
cd
to the WooCommerce plugin folder -
git checkout master
or checkout the branch where you need to run tests -
Run
npm install
-
Run
npm install jest --global
-
Run
composer install --no-dev
-
Run
npm run build
-
Run the following command to build the test site using Docker:
npm run docker:up
and watch the site being built. Note that it may take a few minutes the first time you do that. The process is considered completed when the messages letting you know that WordPress was installed, WooCommerce was activated and users created will be displayed:
wordpress-cli_1 | Success: WordPress installed successfully.
wordpress-cli_1 | Plugin 'woocommerce' activated.
wordpress-cli_1 | Success: Activated 1 of 1 plugins.
wordpress-cli_1 | Success: Created user 2.
woocommerce_wordpress-cli_1 exited with code 0
woocommerce_wordpress-cli_1 exited with code 0
For more Docker commands, scroll down to Docker basics.
-
Open new terminal window and
cd
to the current branch again. -
Run the following command to make sure the containers were built and running:
docker ps
. You should see the 2 following containers: -
woocommerce_wordpress-woocommerce-dev
-
mariadb:10.4
-
Navigate to
http://localhost:8084/
. If everything went well, you should be able to access the site.
How to run tests in headless mode
To run e2e tests in headless mode use the following command:
npm run test:e2e
How to run tests in non-headless mode
Tests are being run headless by default. However, sometimes it's useful to observe the browser while running tests. To do so, you can run tests in a non-headless (dev) mode:
npm run test:e2e-dev
The dev mode also enables SlowMo mode. SlowMo slows down Puppeteer’s operations so we can better see what is happening in the browser. You can adjust the SlowMo value by copying /tests/e2e/env/config/jest.puppetee.config.js
to /tests/e2e/config
and editing the value in that file. The default PUPPETEER_SLOWMO=50
means test actions will be slowed down by 50 milliseconds.
How to run an individual test
To run an individual test, use the direct path to the spec. For example:
npm run test:e2e ./tests/e2e/specs/wp-admin/wp-admin-product-new.test.js
How to skip tests
To skip the tests, use .only
in the relevant test entry to specify the tests that you do want to run.
For example, in order to skip Setup Wizard tests, add .only
to the login and activation tests as follows in the setup-wizard.test.js
:
it.only( 'Can login', async () => {}
it.only( 'Can make sure WooCommerce is activated. If not, activate it', async () => {}
As a result, when you run setup-wizard.test.js
, only the login and activate tests will run. The rest will be skipped. You should see the following in the terminal:
PASS tests/e2e/specs/activate-and-setup/setup-wizard.test.js (11.927s)
Store owner can login and make sure WooCommerce is activated
✓ Can login (7189ms)
✓ Can make sure WooCommerce is activated. If not, activate it (1187ms)
Store owner can go through store Setup Wizard
○ skipped Can start Setup Wizard
○ skipped Can fill out Store setup details
○ skipped Can fill out Payment details
○ skipped Can fill out Shipping details
○ skipped Can fill out Recommended details
○ skipped Can skip Activate Jetpack section
○ skipped Can finish Setup Wizard - Ready! section
Store owner can finish initial store setup
○ skipped Can enable tax rates and calculations
○ skipped Can configure permalink settings
You can also use .skip
in the same fashion. For example:
it.skip( 'Can start Setup Wizard', async () => {}
Finally, you can aply both .only
and .skip
to describe
part of the test:
describe.skip( 'Store owner can go through store Setup Wizard', () => {}
Writing tests
We use the following tools to write e2e tests:
- Puppeteer – a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol
- jest-puppeteer – provides all required configuration to run tests using Puppeteer
- expect-puppeteer – assertion library for Puppeteer
Tests are kept in tests/e2e/specs
folder.
The following packages are being used to write tests:
e2e-test-utils
- End-To-End (E2E) test utils for WordPress. You can find the full list of utils here;puppeteer-utils
- Utilities and configuration for running puppeteer against WordPress. See details in the package's repository.
Debugging tests
For Puppeteer debugging, follow Google's documentation.
Docker basics
How to stop and restart Docker
- Press
Ctrl+C
in the terminal window where the containers are running - Stop the container(s) using the following command:
npm run docker:down
- Restart the containers using the following command:
npm run docker:up
