> Wrapper for [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/) to simplify browser tests scripting.



Install

-------



Note, you need to install `electron` with this package, it is not included as

a dependency.



```bash

npm install navit electron --save

```



Examples

--------



```js

const browser = require('./')({ timeout: 30000, engine: 'electron' });



const stack = []; // You can use lazy functions to pass data between stages,

                  // but arrays have more compact notation.



try {

  await browser

    .open('https://dev.nodeca.com')

    .wait(() => {

      try { return window.NodecaLoader.booted; } catch (__) { return false; }

    })

    .get.url(stack)

    .click('forum-category__content:first forum-section__title-link')

    .wait(data => location.url !== data[data.length - 1], stack)

    .test.exists('.forum-topiclines')

    .close();



  console.log('Succeeded');

} catch (err) {

  console.log(err));

}

```



Also look files in [test folder](https://github.com/nodeca/navit/tree/master/test).

Those are real examples how to use `navit` with `mocha`.



API

---



1. All methods are chainable.

2. Methods, marked with `+` have direct aliases without namespace.

3. Chain is then-able. You can apply `await` anytime, to execute stacked commands.

4. Almost everywhere `String` & `Number` params can be defined as functions for

   lazy evaluation.



__Known limitations:__



Some methods like `.get.evaluate()` allow to pass params to evaluated functions.

`navit` uses function's `.length` property, to properly detect params count,

because tailing callbacks are optional. That means, such functions must have

explicit parameters list in definition, and you must pass exactly the same

params count as defined. We decided, it's not a big price for nice API.



Electron is NOT headless. To run your script in headless environment,

you should [xvfb](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/testing-on-headless-ci.md).



### new Navit(options, engineOpts)



__options__ (not mandatory):



- `inject`: Array of scripts (file paths) to inject after every page load

  (`[ require.resolve('jquery/dist/jquery') ]`).

- `timeout`: Page load and `.wait()` timeout, default `5000ms`.

- `prefix`: url prefix for `.open()` and `.post()`, default empty string.

- `engine`: optional, engine driver to use. Only `electron` is available for now.

- `enginePath`: optional, direct path to browser engine. Don't use without

   need, it should be autodetected via `electron` package.



__engineOpts__ (not mandatory, camelCase):



See https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/command-line-switches.

You can pass any options, supported by browser engine. Option names should be

in camelCase.



### Actions: `.do.*()`



Navigation:



- \+ `.do.open(url [, options])`

  - options:

    - `method` - get(default)|post|put|delete|head

    - `data`

    - `headers`

- \+ `.do.post(url, data[, options])` - shortcut to `.open`, for convenience;

  `method` is set to `post`, and `data` is forwarded to `options.data`.

- \+ `.do.back()`

- \+ `.do.forward()`

- \+ `.do.reload()`



DOM:



- \+ `.do.click(selector)` - click on an element matching `selector`

- \+ `.do.type(selector, text)` - type `text` into input or contenteditable

- \+ `.do.clear(selector)` - clear input value (supports contenteditable)

- \+ `.do.check(selector)` - toggles checkbox or radio

- \+ `.do.select(selector, option)` - selects an `option` in dropdown

- \+ `.do.upload(selector, path)` - selects a file in `input[type="file"]`

- \+ `.do.fill(selector, obj [, submit])` - fill out a form (same as

  [fill](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/casper.html#fill)

  in CasperJS)

- \+ `.do.scrollTo(top, left)` - executes `window.scrollTo(top, left)`

- \+ `.do.inject([type, ] file)` - appends a script or stylesheets from external `file` to page, `type` can be one of `js` or `css` (default type is `js`).



Waiting:



- \+ `.do.wait()` - wait until page ready; can be useful after `click`, `back`

  and `forward` actions (`open` and `reload` track progress for html pages

  automatically)

- \+ `.do.wait(delay)` - pause for `delay` milliseconds

- \+ `.do.wait(selector [, timeout])` - wait until selector available

- \+ `.do.wait(fn [, params..., timeout])` - evaluate function in cycle, until

  returns `true`.



### Get data/params: `.get.*()`



All functions, passed to `.get.*`, can be sync (with 1 param) or async (with 2

params). If function returns not falsy type of result (usually a `Error`) or

throws exception, chain will be terminated. That can be used to create complex

test conditions.



- \+ `.get.title(fn)`

- \+ `.get.url(fn)`

- \+ `.get.count(selector, fn)`

- \+ `.get.text(selector, fn)`

- \+ `.get.html([selector,] fn)` - when no selector given, returns full page html.

- \+ `.get.attribute(selector, attribute, fn)`

- \+ `.get.value(selector, fn)` - for input/selector fields, returns field value.

- `.get.evaluate(fnToEval [, params, fn])` - evaluate function on client with optional params.

  Returned result can be processed on server, if handler set.

- `.get.status(fn)`

- `.get.body(fn)`

- `.get.headers(fn)` - return server reply headers. Note, testing

   method is not "symmetric" - use `.test.header(name, ...)`.

- `.get.cookies(fn)` (no pair in `.test.*`)



Sugar:



1. If you pass `Array` instead of `Function`, data will be pushed into it.

2. If `fn` returns `Error` object (or anything else not falsy), chain will be

   stopped with that value.

3. If last param (`callback`) exists, chain will be finished as with `.run` method.



### Set data/params: `.set.*()`



- \+ `.set.headers(obj)`

- \+ `.set.useragent(string)`

- \+ `.set.authentication(user, pass)`

- \+ `.set.viewport(width, height)`

- \+ `.set.zoom(scale)`

- \+ `.set.cookie(obj)`

- \+ `.set.cookie(name, value)` *If value not passed, cookie will be deleted.



### Assertions: `.test.*()` & `test()`



Tests available for the most of `get.*` methods:



- `.test.method_name(params..., value [, message)`

- If value to compare is `RegExp`, then data is converted to `String`, and tested

  to match provided regexp.

- __Negative condition `.not` can be added to almost any test, before or after

  method name.__



Additional:



- \+ `.test[.not].exists(selector [, message])`

- \+ `.test[.not].visible(selector [, message])`

- \+ `.test.evaluate(fn [params..., message])` - evaluate & die on any

  result but `true`.



Special sugar:



- `.test(status_number [, message])`

- `.test(body_rexexp [, message])`

- `.test(header_name, string_or_regexp [, message])`



### Tabs: `.tab.*()`



- `.tab.open([url [, options]])` - create and switch to new tab. Run `.do.open(url, options)` if `url` specified

- `.tab.count(fn)` - get tabs count (if you pass `Array`, value will be pushed into)

- `.tab.switch(index)` - switch to tab by `index`

- `.tab.close([index])` - close tab by `index` or close current tab if `index` not specified

  - negative `index` address tab from the tail

  - after all tabs closed, new one will be created automatically



### Other



- `.fn(function, params)` - local function execute. Function can be sync or

  async (or return Promise). Params count should match function signature.

- `.exit()` => `Promise` - tear down browser process. Note, browser will NOT be

  closed until you do it explicit via this method or `.close()`.

- `.close()` - similar to `.exit()` but stackable (will be executed in order

  with other chained commends).

- `.then(onSuccess, onFail)` - executes stacked commands.

- `.screenshot([ selector|bounding_rect, type,] path)` - do screenshot

- `.registerMethod(names, fn)` - add new method with given name(s) (`names`

  can be string or array).

- `.use(plugin [, params...])` - apply plugin.



### Batches



`navit` allows record sequence or commands to run it later with one call as

many times as you wish.



```js

// create

.batch.create('init_page', function() {

  this.

    .wait(function () {

      try {

        return window.NodecaLoader.booted;

      } catch (__) {}

      return false;

    });

    .viewport(1600, 1200)

    .inject(require.resolve('jquery/dist/jquery'))

    .fn(function () {

      console.log('Batch done.');

    })

})

// run

.batch('init_page')

```



### .afterOpen



If you assign function to this property, it will be called after any `.open`

and `.reload` definition to stack additional commands. This is experimental

feature, that can be changed.



Sometime you may wish to do global setup for all opened pages. For example:



- wait full page init, when it has dynamic scripts loader.

- inject testing scripts from remote host (when you don't like to use global

  option).



You can record your sequence to batch and automate it's injection after every

`open` / `reload`. See example how we setup `navit` in `nodeca`:



```js

// Wait for nodeca scripts load and check status

//

navit.batch.create('waitNodecaBooted', function () {

  this

    .wait(function () {

      try {

        return window.NodecaLoader.booted;

      } catch (__) {}

      return false;

    })

    .test.status(200);

});



navit.afterOpen = function () {

  this.batch('waitNodecaBooted');

};

```



__Note__. `.afterOpen` is called on chain definition phase, not on execution

phase. It's ~ equivalent of typing content manually in test body. That's why it

doesn't have callback to wait async operations - it's not needed.



### Debug



If you assign environment variable `DEBUG` to `navit`, you will see debug message

for every action.



Output example for `DEBUG=navit mocha`:



```

...

navit do.open('http://localhost:17345/test/fixtures/do/type.html') +25ms

navit do.type('#type-test') +20ms

navit test.evaluate() +9ms

navit do.type('#contenteditable-test') +2ms

navit test.evaluate() +9ms

  ✓ type (64ms)

...

```
