Running NativeScript Tests
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Details
|
|
NativeScript is a framework for building applications on mobile devices. Many
|
|
of its components are UI elements which get tested most efficiently on the
|
|
respective device or simulator/emulator. Thus, running the tests involves
|
|
the following steps:
|
|
|
|
- Create a NativeScript project
|
|
- Build it to a native image
|
|
- Start a simulator/emulator
|
|
- Deploy the application image
|
|
- Start the application
|
|
- Monitor its output
|
|
- Gather test output
|
|
|
|
These steps are automated via the `run-testsapp.grunt.js` grunt script, located
|
|
under the `build` directory. It gets called by the main `gruntfile.js`, but is
|
|
split to a separate file for simplicity.
|
|
|
|
# Prerequisites
|
|
- Node JS
|
|
- grunt
|
|
- NativeScript CLI
|
|
- Android/iOS setup
|
|
- expect
|
|
|
|
# Arguments:
|
|
|
|
>As this is a [grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) script, the arguments are passed
|
|
the grunt way (`--argName=argValue`)
|
|
|
|
- `platform`: The platform to run the tests application on: iOS or Android
|
|
- `showEmu`: [Optional] Specifies whether the emulator should get launched
|
|
in a window or headless mode. Defaults to `false`.
|
|
- `modulesPath`: [Optional] The path to the tns-core-modules npm package
|
|
to be tested. Defaults to the npm package, located in the current
|
|
`bin/dist/` folder. The modules must have been built before that.
|
|
- `tnsPath`: [Optional] The path to the NativeScript executable. If not
|
|
found, the globally installed `tns` gets called.
|
|
- `emuPId`: The ID of the emulator process. This one is used to refresh the
|
|
emulator process, as the emulator sometimes hangs.
|
|
- `avd`: The name of the Android Virtual Device or the iOS simulator GUID
|
|
to be started to run the tests.
|
|
- `logFilePath`: [Optional] The path to the file, which the test app run
|
|
log will get saved to. Defaults to "./TestRunResult.txt".
|
|
- `runtimePath`: [Optional] The path to a custom iOS or Android Runtime
|
|
package to have the tests run onto. If not specified, the newest available
|
|
build on [npmjs.com](http://npmjs.com) -
|
|
[tns-ios](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tns-ios) or
|
|
[tns-android](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tns-android).
|
|
|
|
# Sample run:
|
|
```
|
|
grunt testsapp --platform=Android [--tnsPath="tns"] --emuPId=".*emulator64-x86"
|
|
--avd="Api19" [--logFilePath="./TestRunResult.txt"] [--androidRuntimePath="./tns-android.tgz"] --showEmu=true
|
|
```
