WooCommerce End to End Tests

Automated end-to-end tests for WooCommerce.

Table of contents

Pre-requisites

Install Node.js

Follow instructions on the node.js site to install Node.js.

Install NVM

Follow instructions in the NVM repository to install NVM.

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.

Test Variables

The jest test sequencer uses the following test variables:

{
  "url": "http://localhost:8084/",
  "users": {
    "admin": {
      "username": "admin",
      "password": "password"
    },
    "customer": {
      "username": "customer",
      "password": "password"
    }
  }
}

If you need to modify the port for your local test environment (eg. port is already in use), copy tests/e2e/env/config/default.json to tests/e2e/config/default.json and edit that copy. Only edit this file while your test container is down.

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 nvm use

  • Run npm install

  • Run composer install --no-dev

  • Run npm run build:assets

  • Run npm install jest --global

  • Run npm run docker:up - it will build the test site using Docker.

  • Run docker ps - to confirm that the Docker containers were built and running. You should see the log that looks similar to below indicating that everything had been built as expected:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES
c380e1964506        env_wordpress-cli   "entrypoint.sh"          7 seconds ago       Up 5 seconds                               woocommerce_wordpress-cli
2ab8e8439e9f        wordpress:5.5.1     "docker-entrypoint.s…"   8 seconds ago       Up 7 seconds        0.0.0.0:8084->80/tcp   woocommerce_wordpress-www
4c1e3f2a49db        mariadb:10.5.5      "docker-entrypoint.s…"   10 seconds ago      Up 8 seconds        3306/tcp               woocommerce_db

Note that by default, Docker will download the latest images available for WordPress, PHP and MariaDB. In the example above, you can see that WordPress 5.5.1 and MariaDB 10.5.5 were used.

See How to run tests using custom WordPress, PHP and MariaDB versions if you'd like to use different versions.

  • Navigate to http://localhost:8084/

If everything went well, you should be able to access the site. If you changed the port to something other than 8084 as per Test Variables section, use the appropriate port to access your site.

As noted in Test Variables section, use the following Admin user details to login:

Username: admin
PW: password
  • Run npm run docker:down when you are done with running e2e tests or when making any changes to test suite.

Note that running npm run docker:down and then npm run docker:up re-initializes the test container.

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 Puppeteers operations so we can better see what is happening in the browser.

By default, SlowMo mode is set to slow down running of tests by 50 milliseconds. If you'd like to override it and have the tests run faster or slower in the -dev mode, pass PUPPETEER_SLOWMO variable when running tests as shown below:

PUPPETEER_SLOWMO=10 npm run test:e2e-dev

The faster you want the tests to run, the lower the value should be of PUPPETEER_SLOWMO should be.

For example:

  • PUPPETEER_SLOWMO=10 - will run tests faster
  • PUPPETEER_SLOWMO=70 - will run tests slower

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/test-create-order.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 apply both .only and .skip to describe part of the test:

describe.skip( 'Store owner can go through store Setup Wizard', () => {}

How to run tests using custom WordPress, PHP and MariaDB versions

The following variables can be used to specify the versions of WordPress, PHP and MariaDB that you'd like to use to built your test site with Docker:

  • WP_VERSION
  • TRAVIS_PHP_VERSION
  • TRAVIS_MARIADB_VERSION

The full command to build the site will look as follows:

TRAVIS_MARIADB_VERSION=10.5.3 TRAVIS_PHP_VERSION=7.4.5 WP_VERSION=5.4.1 npm run docker:up

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 used to write tests:

  • @wordpress/e2e-test-utils - End-To-End (E2E) test utils for WordPress. You can find the full list of utils here;
  • @automattic/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.
