# Insomnia Smoke Tests This project contains the smoke testing suite for Insomnia and Inso. Tests for the Electron app are written using [Playwright](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright) while tests for the CLI use [execa](https://github.com/sindresorhus/execa). ## Structure | Folder | Purpose | | ------------ | --------------------------------- | | `/cli` | tests for inso | | `/tests` | tests for Insomnia | | `/playwright`| test helpers | | `/server` | Express server used by the tests | | `/fixtures` | data used by tests and the server | ## Run Insomnia smoke tests ### Development method In one terminal run the watcher ```shell npm run watch:app # Run watcher ``` In a second terminal run/debug/step through smoke tests ```shell # Run tests npm run test:smoke:dev # Run individual tests npm run test:smoke:dev -- oauth # Debug tests with playwright logs DEBUG=pw:api npm run test:smoke:dev # Debug tests with insomnia console logs DEBUG=pw:browser npm run test:smoke:dev # Debug tests with webserver console logs DEBUG=pw:WebServer npm run test:smoke:dev # Step through tests with playwright inspector PWDEBUG=1 npm run test:smoke:dev ``` ### Build and package methods It's possible to run the smoke tests for: - A `build`, the JS bundle that is loaded into an electron client - A `package`, the executable binary (e.g. `.dmg` or `.exe`) For `build`: ```shell # Transpile js bundle npm run app-build # Run tests npm run test:smoke:build ``` For `package`: ```shell # Build executable in /packages/insomnia/dist npm run app-package # Run tests npm run test:smoke:package ``` Each of the above commands will automatically run the Express server, so you do not need to take any extra steps. ### Show trace viewer Each time you run a playwright test a trace.zip will be generated, this is useful for debugging CI. [docs](https://playwright.dev/docs/trace-viewer) ```shell # Open a trace viewer for a given test output npx playwright show-trace packages/insomnia-smoke-test/screenshots/app-can-send-requests/trace.zip # Alternatively you can upload this trace to https://trace.playwright.dev/ ``` ### Using the Playwright VS Code extension You can also use the [playwright extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-playwright.playwright) to run and debug tests directly from VS Code. With the extension installed, in a terminal, run the watcher ```shell npm run watch:app ``` You can now run and debug playwright tests, either from the `Testing` tab, or by going into one of the test files and clicking the run button. If no tests appear, you may need to run "Refresh playwright tests". This can be done from the command palette, or by using the button at the top of the `Testing` tab. ## Run Inso CLI smoke tests ```shell # Package the Inso CLI binaries npm run inso-package # Run CLI tests npm run test:smoke:cli ``` ### Write Inso CLI smoke tests In order to run CLI tests for development, open two terminal tabs in `packages/insomnia-smoke-test`: ```shell # In the first tab, serve the Express API npm run serve # In the second tab, run the Inso CLI tests npm run cli ``` This will allow you to write and monitor the server separately from each test, speeding up the development cycle. ### Debug Inso CLI api test in watch mode This is helpful for debugging failing api tests and changing the send-request abstraction From project root, in seperate terminals: ```sh # start smoke test api npm run serve --prefix packages/insomnia-smoke-test # build send-request npm run build:sr --prefix packages/insomnia # watch inso npm run start --prefix packages/insomnia-inso # run api test $PWD/packages/insomnia-inso/bin/inso run test "Echo Test Suite" --src $PWD/packages/insomnia-smoke-test/fixtures/inso-nedb --env Dev --verbose ``` ## General guidelines ### Data Individual tests will automatically run against a clean Insomnia data directory to keep data isolated. ### Dependencies A test should not depend on any external services unless absolutely necessary. If a particular endpoint is required (eg. for authentication or a specific content type), implement a new endpoint in `/server`. ## Working with fixtures ### How to update the inso-nedb fixture In order to update the inso-nedb fixutre you need to launch Insomnia using the inso-nedb directory. To do this, set the INSOMNIA_DATA_PATH environment variable and launch from the command line. #### MacOS ```bash INSOMNIA_DATA_PATH=packages/insomnia-smoke-test/fixtures/inso-nedb /Applications/Insomnia.app/Contents/MacOS/Insomnia ``` #### Linux TODO #### Windows TODO After making your changes, be sure to relaunch the app one more time from the command line, so that Insomnia compacts the database. The .gitignore file will explicity ignore certain database files, to keep the directory size down and avoid prevent data leakage in case you are signed in to the app when launching with this database. ### How to run inso with the inso-nedb fixture locally? Set the `--src packages/insomnia-smoke-test/fixtures/inso-nedb` flag ```bash # if installed globally inso --src ... # using the package bin ./packages/insomnia-inso/bin/inso --src ... # using a binary ./packages/insomnia-inso/binaries/insomnia-inso --src ... ```
