What is nightwatch?

Nightwatch is an end-to-end testing framework for web applications and websites, written in Node.js. It uses the W3C WebDriver API to perform commands and assertions on DOM elements. Nightwatch is designed to be easy to set up and use, and it provides a powerful and flexible API for writing tests.

What are nightwatch's main functionalities?

End-to-End Testing

Nightwatch allows you to perform end-to-end testing by automating browser interactions. This example initializes the browser, navigates to a URL, waits for the body element to be visible, asserts the page title, and then ends the session.

const { client } = require('nightwatch');

client.init()
  .url('http://example.com')
  .waitForElementVisible('body', 1000)
  .assert.title('Example Domain')
  .end();

Page Object Model

Nightwatch supports the Page Object Model, which helps in organizing your test code by separating the page-specific selectors and actions from the test logic. This example shows how to define a page object and use it in a test.

module.exports = {
  url: 'http://example.com',
  elements: {
    body: 'body',
    title: 'title'
  }
};

// In your test file
const examplePage = client.page.example();

examplePage.navigate()
  .waitForElementVisible('@body', 1000)
  .assert.title('Example Domain');

Assertions

Nightwatch provides a variety of built-in assertions to validate the state of your application. This example demonstrates how to assert that the body element contains specific text.

client.init()
  .url('http://example.com')
  .waitForElementVisible('body', 1000)
  .assert.containsText('body', 'Example Domain')
  .end();
