Meteor Desktop Plugin Test Suite

Few utils to ease out functional testing of Meteor Desktop plugins.

getElectronPath

Returns path to electron bin.

createTestApp(installPath, pluginName)

Creates a test app with the your plugin included.

/**
 * @param {string} installPath - Path at which to install the app.
 * @param {string} pluginName - Name of the npm package (plugin) you are testing.
 * @returns {Promise}
 */

The test app provides two methods through accessible through IPC.

• constructPlugin params log, app, appSettings, systemEvents, modules, settings

It is just constructing your plugin. Pass undefined if your plugin does not use certain param.

• fireSystemEvent params systemEvent, ...args

Fires an system event, so you can simulate a systemEvent on which you plugin is listening. You need to pass undefined as systemEvents params to make this work.

sendIpc(app, ...args)

Sends an IPC message to the main process. You can use constructPlugin

/**
 * @param {Object} app - The app ref from Spectron.
 * @param {Array} args - Array of arguments to pass to ipc.send.
 * @returns {*}
 */

sendModuleEvent(app, module, event, ...args)

Sends an IPC event to your module. Use if your plugin/module registers itself via let module = new Module('myModuleName').

/**
 * @param {Object} app - The app ref from Spectron.
 * @param {string} module - The module name your plugin is registerting.
 * @param {string} event - Event from your module.
 * @param {Array} args - Array of arguments to pass to ipc.send.
