Native Commands

googleTest.json

[
    {
        "command":"type",
        "target":"q",
        "value":"hello world"
    },
    {
        "command" : "setSpeed",
        "target" : "1000"
    },
    {
        "command":"click",
        "target":"btnG",
        "value":""
    },
    {
        "command" : "setSpeed",
        "target" : "10"
    },
    {
        "command":"waitForElementPresent",
        "target":"sflas",
        "value":""
    },
    {
        "command":"clickAndWait",
        "target":"sflas",
        "value":""
    },
    {
        "command":"assertValue",
        "target":"as_q",
        "value":"hello world"
    }
]

test.js

var Runner = require('soda-runner'),
var runner = new Runner({url : "http://www.google.com",browserType : 'firefox', testDir : __dirname + "/tests"});
var tests = runner.run("all", ["googleTest"]);

External Commands

External commands can be used to specify a commonly used piece of code, your define them just as your would for sodaJS

testHelper.js

exports.assertTitle = function(title)
{
    return function(browser) {
        browser.getTitle(function(title) {
            assert.ok(~title.indexOf(title), 'Title did not include the query');
        });
    }
}

To reference the command in the json test use the following format

{
    "command" : "and",
    "file" : "testHelper.js",
    "fun" : "assertTitle",
    "args" : ["hello world"]
}

the file parameter can either be an absolute or relative to the location of where the originating node script was ran from so if your directory look like this:

- tests
    -util
        -testHelper.js
    - internal
        - googleTest.json
        - googleTest2.json
        - googleTest3.json
    - external
        - externalCommands.json

and you ran

soda-runner suite=external testDir=tests

from the same directory thats tests resides in then

{
    "command" : "and",
    "file" : "tests/util/testHelper.js",
    "fun" : "assertTitle",
    "args" : ["hello world"]
}

could be used to specify the location of the testHelper.js script

externalCommands.json

[
    {
        "command":"type",
        "target":"q",
        "value":"hello world"
    },
    {
        "command" : "setSpeed",
        "target" : "1000"
    },
    {
        "command":"click",
        "target":"btnG",
        "value":""
    },
    {
        "command" : "and",
        "file" : "../../test/testHelper",
        "fun" : "assertTitle",
        "args" : ["hello world"]
    },
    {
        "command":"waitForElementPresent",
        "target":"sflas",
        "value":""
    },
    {
        "command" : "setSpeed",
        "target" : "10"
    },
    {
        "command":"clickAndWait",
        "target":"sflas",
        "value":""
    },
    {
        "command":"assertValue",
        "target":"as_q",
        "value":"hello world"
    }
]

test.js

var Runner = require('soda-runner'),
var runner = new Runner({url : "http://www.google.com",browserType : 'firefox', testDir : __dirname + "/tests"});
var tests = runner.run("all", ["externalCommand"]);

To run all tests in a directory

var runner = new Runner({url : "http://www.google.com",browserType : 'firefox', testDir : __dirname + "/tests"});
var tests = runner.run("all");

To run all tests in a directory

var runner = new Runner({url : "http://www.google.com",browserType : 'firefox', testDir : __dirname + "/tests"}); var tests = runner.run("all", ["googleTest", "externalCommands"]);

Define a suite

If you want to define a particular suite, create a directory in your base test directory, i.e:

- tests
    - internal
        - googleTest.json
        - googleTest2.json
        - googleTest3.json
    - external
        - externalCommands.json

To run the internal suite

var runner = new Runner({url : "http://www.google.com",browserType : 'firefox', testDir : __dirname + "/tests"});
var tests = runner.run("internal");

To run a particular tests in a suite var runner = new Runner({url : "http://www.google.com",browserType : 'firefox', testDir : __dirname + "/tests"}); var tests = runner.run("internal", ["googleTest, "googleTest3]);

Command line

soda-runner suite=all tests=test1,test2,.... testDir=locationOfTests url=url browser=browserType

executing inner suites

soda-runner suite=suite.innerSuite tests=test1,test2,.... testDir=locationOfTests url=url browser=browserType
