v2.3.0-rc.1

2.3.0 (2023-01-19)

Create TestCafe

Bug Fixes

• TestCafe doesn’t delete expired cookies (#7432).
• TestCafe mishandles windows that appear when the user clicks a link with a _blank target (#6926).
• TestCafe tests fail to start because the framework triggers the dns.setDefaultResultOrder method in older Node.js environments (#7447).
• TestCafe dependencies include a vulnerable, outdated version of the babel-plugin-module-resolver package (#7456)

v2.2.0

v2.2.0 (2022-12-29)

TestCafe v2.2.0 introduces user-defined custom actions and an important experimental capability. Google Chrome users can now enable "proxyless mode" to speed up their test suite.

Custom Action Support

TestCafe users can now define custom test actions. Place the definition function in a JavaScript configuration file:

module.exports = {
  customActions: {
   async makeCoffee (args) {
        await this.click(args);
    }, 
  }
};

Include custom methods in your tests alongside other TestController methods.
Add the customActions prefix when you call the action:

test('Test with a custom action', async t => {
    await t.click()
        .customActions.makeCoffee()
        .click();
})

Experimental: Proxyless mode

TestCafe runs an under-the-hood reverse proxy to automate tests across different browsers. But this technique complicates the framework. Native automation protocols offer superior automation speeds and greater stability. That's why the TestCafe team decided to gradually phase the reverse proxy out in favor of native support for these automation protocols.

TestCafe v2.2.0 includes an experimental option that disables the proxy for Google Chrome.

testcafe chrome tests --experimental-proxyless

You can enable this option in the command line interface, the Test Runner API, and the configuration file. Read the Proxyless mode guide for more information.

Bug Fixes

v2.1.0

v2.1.0 (2022-11-10)

Improvements

Improved handling of invisible elements

• Visibility criteria update: TestCafe no longer interacts with elements that have the visibility: collapse attribute.
• If the action target does not fit the visibility criteria, TestCafe outputs an error message that references the exact reason. (#7310).

Improved handling of overlapped elements

• When another element overlaps the center of the action target, TestCafe scans the target element for available points of contact. If the selector timeout ends before TestCafe finds an unobstructed point, TestCafe outputs a warning message and interacts with the topmost element at the center of the original target (#7309).
• TestCafe v2.1.0 contains an improved algorithm that detects whether extra scrolling can resolve an element obstruction issue. (#6208)

Bug Fixes

• In some environments, TestCafe cannot take screenshots when the test runs in a headless Chromium-based browser (#7224).
• Full-page screenshots in headless Chrome do not include the edges of the page (#5961).
• TestCafe throws the "TypeError: Illegal invocation" error when the front-end code passes a number value to the Element.insertAdjacentText method (#7352).
