The first three assignments in CPSC113 require us to create a "social todo app". That is, an application wherein users can create tasks that are shared with other users, allowing each user with whom a task is shared to mark it as complete or incomplete.
This repository contains code that tests those assignments for the required
behavior. Those behaviors include user registration, authentication, and
task management. The tests are all in the file test.js in this repository.
The tests are written for CasperJS,
a navigation scripting & testing utility for PhantomJS,
which is a headless browser
based on webkit, the web layout engine
underneath browsers like Chrome and Safari. The tests in test.js are written
in JavaScript. They use the the CasperJS API in order to interact with a web
app to which you point it, testing whether that app conforms to the required
behavior for the CPSC113 social todo app. That behavior includes things like
registering new users, logging in, creating tasks, and managing tasks.
The tests are written in such a way that you can develop a your web app using
any technology stack you wish. You need only ensure that the user interface
contains the elements that the tests expect to find. For example, in tests.js,
the following lines appear
casper.start(base_url, function() {
test.assertDoesntExist(taskSelector, "has no tasks initially");
});where we are testing that a new users has no tasks initially. The CasperJS API is thoroughly described in the CasperJS documentation and particularly the documentation for the tester module.
In order to run these tests, you will need to
install CasperJS,
node, and the node.js dependencies described in the
package.js file. This will likely be easiest for you if you are using a Unix-like
machine. This could be a Mac, a computer in the Zoo cluster at Yale, or a
cloud VM like the free service cloud9. Once you have
CasperJS installed, you can run the tests as such
casperjs test test.js --base_url=YOUR_URL --includes=test-utils.js
So, if you are running your app on localhost port 5000, you'd run the following command
casperjs test test.js --base_url='http://localhost:5000' --includes=test-utils.js
You should see output that looks something like the text below, but with prettier colors
$ casperjs test test.js --base_url='http://cpsc113-todo-sample.herokuapp.com' --includes=test-utils.js

If you know how to install CapserJS on your computer and run the tests from there you likely do not require our help in many regards. If you have no clue how to do such a thing, we recommend that you use Cloud9, which will give you an Ubuntu virtual machine in the cloud from which you can run tests. Once you create a new workspace on cloud9, you can enter the following commands to run the tests.
npm install -g phantomjs npm install -g casperjs git clone https://github.com/yale-cpsc-113/todo-e2e-tests.git cd todo-e2e-tests.git npm install casperjs test test.js --includes=test-utils.js --base_url='http://cpsc113-todo-sample.herokuapp.com'
In the screencast below, I am showing how your output should look in a fresh
c9 instance. (At one point in that screencast I incorrectly ran npm install -g
instead of npm install and so the tests fail, which I then fix. Be not confused.)
