Actual on the web
E2E tests
E2E (end-to-end) tests use Playwright. Running them requires an Actual server to be running either locally or on a remote server.
Functional
Running against the local server:
# Start the development server
yarn start
# Run against the local server (localhost:3001)
yarn e2eRunning against a remote server:
E2E_START_URL=http://my-remote-server.com yarn e2eVisual regression
Visual regression tests (also known as screenshot tests) check that the visual appearance of the product has not regressed. Each environment has slightly different colors, fonts etc. Mac differs from Windows which differs from Linux. In order to have a stable test environment for visual comparisons - you must use a standartised docker container. This ensures that the tests are always ran in a consistent environment.
Prerequisites:
- Docker installed
Running against the local server
First start the dev server:
HTTPS=true yarn startNext, navigate to the root of your project folder, run the standartised docker container, and launch the visual regression tests from within it.
# Run docker container
docker run --rm --network host -v $(pwd):/work/ -w /work/ -it mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.37.0-jammy /bin/bash
# If you recieve an error such as "docker: invalid reference format", please instead use the following command:
docker run --rm --network host -v ${pwd}:/work/ -w /work/ -it mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.37.0-jammy /bin/bash
# Run the VRT tests: important - they MUST be ran against a HTTPS server
E2E_START_URL=https://192.168.0.178:3001 yarn vrt
# To update snapshots, use the following command:
E2E_START_URL=https://192.168.0.178:3001 yarn vrt --update-snapshotsRunning against a remote server
You can also run the tests against a remote server by passing the URL:
E2E_START_URL=https://my-remote-server.com yarn vrt
