chrome_testing 0.1.0

A library to aid in the testing of Dart Chrome Apps.

chrome_testing

This package contains a test harness for testing Chrome Apps. Specifically, it contains a command line tool and an in-process library for Chrome Apps.

How it works

A command line tool (bin/chrome_testing.dart) starts a test listener on port 5120. That tool then starts a Chrome (or Dartium) process which runs the chrome app under test. This chrome app invokes the in-process test driver (TestDriver). That driver connects to port 5120, runs the unit tests, and pipes all the test results to the test listener via that port.

When the tests complete, the test driver closes the app window. The test listener waits for the tests to complete or for a timeout. It then kills the launched Chrome process, writes all the test results to stdout, and exits the process with either a 0 or 1 exit code, depending on the test success or failure.

An example

The command line test runner and listener can be found in bin/chrome_testing.dart. An example Chrome App which which runs unit tests can be found in the example/ directory.
