detox

What is detox?

Detox is an end-to-end testing and automation framework for mobile applications. It is designed to test mobile apps on both iOS and Android platforms, ensuring that the app works as expected from the user's perspective. Detox is known for its ability to handle asynchronous operations and its integration with popular mobile development frameworks like React Native.

What are detox's main functionalities?

End-to-End Testing

This code demonstrates a basic end-to-end test using Detox. It launches the app, checks for the visibility of a welcome screen, taps a button, and verifies that a 'Hello' screen is displayed.

const { device, expect, element, by } = require('detox');

beforeAll(async () => {
  await device.launchApp();
});

describe('Example', () => {
  it('should have welcome screen', async () => {
    await expect(element(by.id('welcome'))).toBeVisible();
  });

  it('should show hello screen after tap', async () => {
    await element(by.id('hello_button')).tap();
    await expect(element(by.text('Hello!!!'))).toBeVisible();
  });
});

Device Interaction

This code sample shows how to interact with the device using Detox. It includes actions like rotating the device to landscape mode and shaking the device.

const { device } = require('detox');

beforeAll(async () => {
  await device.launchApp();
});

describe('Device Interaction', () => {
  it('should rotate the device to landscape', async () => {
    await device.setOrientation('landscape');
  });

  it('should shake the device', async () => {
    await device.shake();
  });
});

Synchronization

This code demonstrates Detox's synchronization capabilities. It waits for a specific element to become visible within a given timeout period.

const { device, element, by } = require('detox');

beforeAll(async () => {
  await device.launchApp();
});

describe('Synchronization', () => {
  it('should wait for element to be visible', async () => {
    await waitFor(element(by.id('uniqueId'))).toBeVisible().withTimeout(2000);
  });
});

appium

Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS and Android platforms. Unlike Detox, which is specifically designed for React Native and mobile apps, Appium supports a broader range of applications and programming languages.

cypress

Cypress is a JavaScript end-to-end testing framework primarily designed for web applications. While it does not natively support mobile app testing like Detox, it is known for its ease of use and powerful features for web testing.

webdriverio

WebdriverIO is a popular testing framework that allows you to run tests based on the WebDriver protocol and Appium. It supports both web and mobile applications, making it more versatile compared to Detox, which is focused on mobile apps.

README

Nanaimo

Nanaimo is a simple library that implements ASCII Plist serialization and deserialization, entirely with native Ruby code (and zero dependencies). It also comes with out-of-the-box support for serializing Xcode projects (complete with annotations) and XML plists.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'nanaimo'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install nanaimo

Usage

require 'nanaimo'

# parse a native ruby object from an ascii plist file
project_hash = Nanaimo::Reader
  .from_file("App.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj")
  .parse!
  .as_ruby

# change that object
project_hash['...'] = '...'

# re-serialize it
ascii_plist_string = Nanaimo::Writer.new(project_hash).write

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
