Introduction

Websocket based driver for the Automated Testing Framework.

This packages allows for remote control of a Flutter based application in coordination with the Automated Testing Framework Server Websocket package.

App Usage

Within your flutter application, you will need to create and activate the automation driver. This should typically be done at startup, but can technically be done at any point of your application.

Though, applications will default to using the package identifier, it is typically recommended to create a stable "code name" for the application to be used by the automation framework. This is referred to as the appIdentifier in the framework.

// ...

void main() async {
  // ...
  TestAppSettings.initialize(appIdentifier: 'My Application Identifier');

  var navigatorKey = GlobalKey<NavigatorState>();

  var testController = TestController(
    navigatorKey: navigatorKey,
    onReset: () async {
      // your application's reset steps
    },
  );

  var communicator = WebSocketTestDeviceCommunicator(
    secret: 'my-secret-device-id-set-on-the-server',
    testControllerState: controller.state,
    url: 'wss://my-server-host/my-path',
  );
  await communicator.activate(
    () => TestDeviceInfoHelper.initialize(null),
  );
  var testDriver = TestDriver(
    communicator: communicator,
    testController: testController,
  );

  testDriver.activate();

  // ...

  runApp(MyApp(
    navigatorKey: navigatorKey,
    // ...
  ));
}

Example Scripts

The example scripts are in the bin folder and can be run via:

dart bin/[scriptName] {options}

Each script utilizes optional environment variables (called the Optional Env Var in the documentation) that can be used as a fallback for CLI parameters. It may be easier to set the environment variables for your test runs rather than passing them in via the CLI each time, but both modes are supported, and the CLI params always take precedence over the environment variables.

Not all paramets have a fallback parameter, and when they do not, they must be passed in via the CLI.

Script Name	Description
list_device	Lists the devices that are connected to the back end server.
run_test	Runs the given test on the device and outputs the logs and screenshots to the output folder.

list_devices

Introduction

1. Connects to the backend server.
2. Announces itself as a driver and sends a challenge to the server to prove it should be trusted.
3. Verifies the server's challenge response and if valid, responds to the server's challenge request.
4. Lists all the devices that are currently connected to the backend server and responding to commands.

Command Reference

dart bin/list_devices.dart
  -a | --app [appIdentifier]
  -n | --driver [testDriverName]
  -s | --secret [driverSecret]
  -u | --url [websocketUrl]

Options

Full	Short	Optional Env Var	Description
--app	-a	ATF_APP_IDENTIFIER	The appIdentifier the application is using.
--driver	-n	ATF_DRIVER_NAME	The human readable name of the driver.
--secret	-s	ATF_DRIVER_SECRET	The pre-shared key for the server's driver key.
--url	-u	ATF_WEBSOCKET_URL	The websocket URL for the server.

run_test

Introduction

1. Connects to the backend server.
2. Announces itself as a driver and sends a challenge to the server to prove it should be trusted.
3. Verifies the server's challenge response and if valid, responds to the server's challenge request.
4. Attempts to reserve the requested device and fails if not reserved.
5. Runs the given test on the device and saves all logs and screenshots in the output folder.
6. Releases the device back to the availability pool.

Command Reference

dart bin/list_devices.dart
  -a | --app [appIdentifier]
  -d | --driver [testDriverName]
  -s | --secret [driverSecret]
  -t | --test [path/to/test.json]
  -u | --url [websocketUrl]

Options

Full	Short	Optional Env Var	Description
--app	-a	ATF_APP_IDENTIFIER	The appIdentifier the application is using.
--driver	-d	ATF_DRIVER_NAME	The human readable name of the driver.
--secret	-s	ATF_DRIVER_SECRET	The pre-shared key for the server's driver key.
--test	-t	n/a	Path to the JSON file containing the test files.
--url	-u	ATF_WEBSOCKET_URL	The websocket URL for the server.

Notes

There are three example tests included with this package that can be used to run test in the example application. They are all located in the assets folder and are as such:

1. assets/buttons.json
2. assets/double_tap.json
3. assets/dropdowns.json
