Testing OpenProject

Cucumber

The cucucmber features can be run using rake. You can run the following rake tasks using the command bundle exec rake <task>.

• cucumber Run core features

• cucumber:plugins Run plugin features

• cucumber:all Run core and plugin features

• cucumber:custom[features]: Run single features or folders of features

  Example: cucumber:custom[features/issues/issue.feature]

  • When providing multiple features, the task name and arguments must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    Example: bundle exec rake "cucumber:custom[features/issues features/projects]"

cucumber:plugins and cucumber:all accept an optional parameter which allows specifying custom options to cucumber. This can be used for executing scenarios by name, e.g. "cucumber:all[-n 'Adding an issue link']". Like with spaces in cucumber:custom arguments, task name and arguments have to be enclosed in quotation marks.

Here are two bash functions which allow using shorter commands for running cucumber features:

# Run OpenProject cucumber features (like arguments to the cucumber command)
# Example: cuke features/issues/issue.feature
cuke() { bundle exec rake "cucumber:custom[$*]"; }

# Run OpenProject cucumber scenarios by name
# Example: cuken Adding an issue link
cuken() { bundle exec rake "cucumber:all[-n '$*']"; }

To activate selenium as test driver to test javascript on web pages, you can add @javascript above the scenario like the following example shows:

@javascript
Scenario: Testing something with Javascript
  When I ...

You can always start a debugger using the step "And I start debugging". If you need Firebug and Firepath while debugging a scenario, just replace @javascript with @firebug.

RSpec

You can run the specs with the following commands:

• bundle exec rake spec Run all core specs with a random seed
• SPEC_OPTS="--seed 12935" bundle exec rake spec Run the core specs with the seed 12935

For the fancy programmer

• We are testing on travis-ci. Look there for your pull requests.

• If you have enabled the terminal bell, add ; echo -e "\a" to the end of your test command. The terminal bell will then tell you when your tests finished.

Manual acceptance tests

• Sometimes you want to test things manually. Always remember: If you test something more than once, write an automated test for it.
