## Testcafe Example

Example e2e tests (some of which are slightly silly) written in [Testcafe](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe), that:

- use a page object pattern (now with 100% _less class_)

- are es6y

- use async/await

- run in parallel

- run on multiple browsers

- run headlessly

- run tests on [BrowserStack](https://browserstack.com)

## Setup

1. clone `clone [email protected]:qualityshepherd/testcafe-example.git`

2. install `npm i`

## Run

* run `npm test` to watch in browser, or

* `npm run ci` to run parallel, headless, and retry fails on Chrome

* `npm run browserstack` to run tests in the cloud (requires an account and env keys to be set)

* `npm run` to see more run options

## Feedback

Testcafe is really good; I used it for years but it has two issues that ultimately became deal-breakers for me:

1. no `beforeAll` which sucks on it's own but also means you have to use `Roles`... which _really_ sucks.

2. they shard/thread tests at the _test level_ instead of the _file level_.
