Selenium/Getting Started/Create a simple test
< Selenium | Getting Started
![]() | Code from this page is available at mediawiki/core and gerrit:345378. |
This tutorial will assume that you are running tests from your machine, targeting MediaWiki-Docker. A similar example is available as 5 and 17 minute videos.
Let's write a new simple test for MediaWiki Core. For example, Special:SpecialPages
is one of the rare pages that does not have an Edit
link. Let's write a test to check that.
Code
[edit]A new page object file describing the page we are testing should be created.
tests/selenium/pageobjects/specialpages.page.js
'use strict';
const Page = require( 'wdio-mediawiki/Page' );
class SpecialPages extends Page {
get edit() {
return $( '#ca-edit a[accesskey="e"]' );
}
async open() {
return super.openTitle( 'Special:SpecialPages' );
}
}
module.exports = new SpecialPages();
A new test file should be created. The file is using the page object file we just created.
tests/selenium/specs/specialpages.js
'use strict';
const assert = require( 'assert' );
const SpecialPages = require( '../pageobjects/specialpages.page' );
describe( 'Special:SpecialPages', () => {
it( 'should not have Edit link', async () => {
await SpecialPages.open();
assert( !( await SpecialPages.edit.isExisting() ) );
} );
} );
Run Selenium tests
[edit]To run all tests, run this from MediaWiki Core folder:
npm run selenium-test
To run just the new test file:
npm run selenium-test -- --spec tests/selenium/docs/Create_a_simple_test/specs/specialpages.js
