Install

npm install --save @webex/test-users

Usage

Note: This package is NODE only, not for browser usage

With the test users library, you can create and remove Webex test users:

import {createTestUser, removeTestUser} from '@webex/test-users';

createTestUser({displayName: 'Test User'}).then((myTestUser) => {
  // Do something amazing with myTestUser

  // When done, remove the test user
  removeTestUser(myTestUser)
});

The test users library falls back to a few environment variables if they aren't passed as config options:

• WEBEX_CLIENT_ID - The Webex client ID that has access to create test users
• WEBEX_CLIENT_SECRET - The Webex client secret for the given client id
• WEBEX_TEST_USERS_CI_GATEWAY_SERVICE_URL - The Webex url for conversation service to create test users
• WEBEX_SCOPE - The Webex scope the test users should be created with
• IDBROKER_BASE_URL - The Webex auth endpoint to get a client based access token
• [DEPRECATED] WEBEX_TEST_USERS_CONVERSATION_SERVICE_URL - use WEBEX_TEST_USERS_CI_GATEWAY_SERVICE_URL instead

Implementation

Test User creation follows a different flow than standard users due to the fact that they are created on the fly.

The creation steps are as follows:

• A client access token is generated from the client id and secret.
  • Uses the "idbroker" url defined in IDBROKER_BASE_URL or passed via options
• A test user is generated with the client access token
  • Uses the url defined in WEBEX_TEST_USERS_CI_GATEWAY_SERVICE_URL or passed via options

Whistler

To use tests users from the Whistler Service, pass whistler: true to the createTestUsers options You will also need to removeTestUser once you're done using them

import {createTestUser, removeTestUser} from '@webex/test-users';

createTestUser({whistler: true}).then((myTestUser) => {
  // Do something amazing with myTestUser

  // When done, remove the test user
  removeTestUser(myTestUser)
});

Whistler requires additional environment variables and scopes to generate test users:

• WHISTLER_MACHINE_ACCOUNT - The Machine Account that can generate and authorize requests to the Whistler Service
• WHISTLER_MACHINE_PASSWORD - The password for the given Machine Account
• WHISTLER_TEST_ORG_ID - The Test Org ID that has the ability to get test users from the Whistler Service
• WHISTLER_API_SERVICE_URL - The Webex url for the Whistler Service to get test users
