WebdriverIO Chrome Recorder [![Build](https://github.com/webdriverio/chrome-recorder/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/webdriverio/chrome-recorder/actions/workflows/build.yml)
[![npm][npm-badge]][npm]
===========================

This repo provide tools to convert JSON user flows from [Google Chrome DevTools Recorder](https://goo.gle/devtools-recorder) to WebdriverIO test scripts programmatically (WebdriverIO `v7.24.0` or higher required).

โœ… Converts multiple recordings to WebdriverIO tests in one go (out-of-the-box glob support)
๐Ÿ—‚ User can pass their custom path to export tests.
๐Ÿ’ƒ Users can also use a dry run to see the interim output of the recordings
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Programmatic API which users can use in their own project to create plugins or custom scripts.

Alternatively, you can export JSON user flows as WebdriverIO test scripts straight away from Chrome DevTools with our [WebdriverIO Recorder Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webdriverio-chrome-record/pllimkccefnbmghgcikpjkmmcadeddfn).

## ๐Ÿ— Installation

```sh
npm install -g @wdio/chrome-recorder
```

## ๐Ÿš€ Usage

To quickly run the interactive CLI, run:

```sh
npx @wdio/chrome-recorder
```

> The CLI will prompt you to enter the path of directory or file of the chrome devtool recordings that you will modify and path to write the generated WebdriverIO tests

**โšก๏ธ Transform individual recordings**

```sh
npx @wdio/chrome-recorder
```

**โšก๏ธ Transform multiple recordings**

```sh
npx @wdio/chrome-recorder *.json
```

๐Ÿ‘‰ By default output will be written to `webdriverio` folder. If you don't have these folders, tool will create it for you or install WebdriverIO by running `npm init webdriverio` in your project.

You can specify different output directory, specify that via CLI:

```sh
npx @wdio/chrome-recorder --output=
```

## โš™๏ธ CLI Options

| Option | Description |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| -d, --dry | Dry run the output of the transformed recordings |
| -o, --output | Output location of the files generated by the exporter |

## ๐Ÿ’ป Programmatic API

```javascript
import { stringifyChromeRecording } from '@wdio/chrome-recorder';

const recordingContent = {
title: 'recording',
steps: [
{
type: 'setViewport',
width: 1905,
height: 223,
deviceScaleFactor: 1,
isMobile: false,
hasTouch: false,
isLandscape: false,
},
],
};

const stringifiedContent = await stringifyChromeRecording(
JSON.stringify(recordingContent),
);

console.log(stringifiedContent);
// Console Log output
//
// describe('recording', function () {
// it('tests recording', function (browser) {
// browser.setWindowRect({ width: 1905, height: 223 });
// });
// });
```

## Supported Chrome Devtools Recorder Steps

WebdriverIO supports all existing [StepTypes](https://github.com/puppeteer/replay/blob/bcee5b54d94ae3fa1398c41d9166892da617eaad/docs/api/enums/Schema.StepType.md). If any step type seems to be missing, please raise an issue so we can add it. Thanks!
