A set of tools for running and parsing headless unit tests with Content Shell.

Headless Browser Unit Tests

This package provides tools for running and parsing headless browser unit tests with Content Shell.

Usage

Install Content Shell

The downloader for Content Shell is packaged with the Dart Editor. As of version 1.1, the downloader is located in $DART_EDITOR/chromium/download_contentshell.sh. Run the downloader, unpack the zip archive, and add the Content Shell executable to your path.

If everything is setup correctly, you should be able to dump the render tree of a website in your terminal:

$ Content\ Shell --dump-render-tree google.com

Setup Your Test File

In your Dart test file, make sure you're using the HTML configuration.

library test;

import 'package:unittest/unittest.dart';
import 'package:unittest/html_config.dart';

void main() {
  useHtmlConfiguration();
  
  test("add", () => expect(1 + 1, equals(2)));
}

Setup With Hop

This package includes a set of tasks to run headless unit tests with Hop. Inside your Dart Hop runner file, import the browser_unittest/hop.dart library, and add a test task with createBrowserTestTask().

library hop_runner;

import 'package:hop/hop.dart';
import 'package:browser_unittest/hop.dart';

void main(List<String> args) {
  addTask("test", createBrowserTestTask());
  runHop(args);
}

Run the tests with Hop from your project's root directory.
