gulp-galen

gulp-galen

A gulp plugin for using the galen-framework within a gulp based build toolchain.

Installation

npm install --save-dev gulp-galen

gulp-galen will search for galen in locally installed packages (npm install --save-dev galenframework) and in $PATH. If you have galen in other location use the galenPath option to specify the correct path:

gulpGalen.check({galenPath: '/some/other/path/to/galen'})

Usage

var gulpGalen = require('gulp-galen');

This provides two gulp stream constructors:

• gulpGalen.check(options, processOptions): runs a specified .gspec against a given url.
• gulpGalen.test(options, processOptions): runs a test against a given testsuite (JavaScript based or Galen test suite style)

Options

All String options support some simple placeholders to be filled with information about the current file:

• {basename}: The current file’s path.basename()
• {relative}: The current file’s relative file name
• {path}: The current file’s full path

This might especially be useful when generating reports. Example:

gulpGalen.check((htmlreport: "reports/{relative}"))

check options

• url: a URL of page for Galen to test on
• javascript: a path for javascript file which Galen will inject in web page
• size: dimensions of browser window. Consists of two numbers separated by “x” symbol
• include: a comma separated list of tags for spec sections which will be included in testing
• exclude: a comma separated list of tags for spec sections to be excluded from the filtered group

test options

• parallel-tests: amount of threads for running tests in parallel
• recursive: flag which is used in case you want to search for all .test files recursively in folder
• filter: a filter for a test name
• groups: run only specified test groups
• excluded-groups: exclude test groups

global options

This options apply to both check and test.

• galenPath: if other then /usr/local/bin/galen
• cwd: change the working directory for the created processes
• properties: an object specifying properties (like galen.browserFactory.selenium.grid.url) to pass into galen
• htmlreport: path to folder in which Galen should generate HTML reports
• testngreport: path to xml file in which Galen should write TestNG report
• junitreport : path to xml file in which Galen should write JUnit report
• jsonreport: path to folder in which Galen should generate JSON reports
• parallel: Allow multiple parallel galen processes (not to confuse with parallel-tests doing the parallelization in one galen process)

Examples

Run some gspec against google.com:

var gulpGalen = require('gulp-galen');

gulp.task("test:galen", function() {
  gulp.src('test/galen/**/*.gspec').pipe(gulpGalen.check({
    url: 'https://www.google.com',
    cwd: 'test/galen/'
  }));
});

Run some JavaScript based test suites:

var gulpGalen = require('gulp-galen');

gulp.task("test:galen", function() {
  gulp.src('test/galen/**/*.js').pipe(gulpGalen.test());
});

Run some JavaScript based test suites against a Selenium Grid:

var gulpGalen = require('gulp-galen');

var galenProperties = {
  'galen.browserFactory.selenium.runInGrid': true,
  'galen.browserFactory.selenium.grid.url': 'http://example.com:4444/wd/hub'
};

gulp.task("test:galen", function() {
  gulp
    .src('test/galen/**/*.js')
    .pipe(gulpGalen.test({
      properties: galenProperties,
      cwd: 'test/galen/'
    }));
});
