Testing

Part of Open Web Component Recommendation open-wc

We want to provide a good set of defaults on how to facilitate your web component.

We believe that testing is fundamental to every production-ready product.

We recommend using BDD(Behavior Driven Development) as it seem to be easier when talking to non tech collegues. However note that this can still be a personal preference - we give this recommendation to promote unity within everyone using this recommendation.

Using:

• System via mocha
• Assertions via chai
  • Plugin chai-dom-equals
• Mocks via sinon

::: tip Info This is part of the default open-wc recommendation :::

Setup

npx -p yo -p generator-open-wc -c 'yo open-wc:testing'

This runs the setup for multiple packages (testing-bare, testing-karma, testing-karma-bs).

::: tip Note If you want to use your own test runner you can use npx -p yo -p generator-open-wc -c 'yo open-wc:testing-bare' ::::

Manual

yarn add @open-wc/testing --dev

Add to your test:

import { expect } '@open-wc/testing';

This will have the following side effect:

• use the plugin chai-dom-equals
• enables cleanup after each test for fixture and litFixture

Automating Tests

Normally, you'll want some way of automatically running all of your tests, for that we recommend karma via @open-wc/testing-karma and browserstack via @open-wc/testing-karma-bs.
If you use a different runner or a different browser grid then these steps can be skipped.

::: tip Note Already part of yo open-wc:testing ::::

Manual Install

• install via yarn add @open-wc/testing-karma --dev
• copy karma.conf.js to karma.conf.js
• add to package.json

  "scripts": {
    "test": "karma start"
  },

For more details pls see testing-karma

Automating Tests via Browserstack

To be production ready you should run tests in all the browsers you wish to support. Usually you do not have access to all of them locally so a service like browserstack can help make sure everything is covered. This step connects the automatic karma runner with browserstack.

::: tip Note Already part of yo open-wc:testing ::::

Manual Install

• install via yarn add @open-wc/testing-karma-bs --dev
• copy karma.es5.bs.config.js to karma.es5.bs.config.js
• add to package.json

  "scripts": {
    "test:es5:bs": "karma start karma.es5.bs.config.js"
  },

For more details pls see testing-karma-bs

Example Tests

A typical webcomponent test will look something like this:

/* eslint-disable no-unused-expressions */
import {
  html,
  fixture,
  litFixture,
  expect,
} from '@open-wc/testing';

import '../src/get-result.js';

describe('True Checking', () => {
  it('is false by default', async () => {
    const el = await fixture('<get-result></get-result>');
    expect(el.success).to.be.false;
  });

  it('false values will have a light-dom of <p>NOPE</p>', async () => {
    const el = await fixture('<get-result></get-result>');
    expect(el).dom.to.semantically.equal('<get-result><p>NOPE</p></get-result>');
  });

  it('true values will have a light-dom of <p>YEAH</p>', async () => {
    const foo = 1;
    const el = await litFixture(html`<get-result .success=${foo === 1}></get-result>`);
    expect(el.success).to.be.true;
    expect(el).dom.to.semantically.equal('<get-result><p>YEAH</p></get-result>');
  });
});

If you run it automatically via npm run test it will result in something like this
