🛩️ Features:

• API Testing introduced
  • Introduced JSONResponse helper which connects to REST, GraphQL or Playwright helper
  • [REST] Added amBearerAuthenticated method
  • [REST] Added haveRequestHeaders method
  • Added dependency on joi and chai
• [Playwright] Added timeout option to set timeout for all Playwright actions. If an action fails, Playwright keeps retrying it for a time set by timeout.
• [Playwright] Possible breaking change. By default timeout is set to 1000ms. Previous default was set by Playwright internally to 30s. This was causing contradiction to CodeceptJS retries, so triggered up to 3 retries for 30s of time. This timeout option was lowered so retryFailedStep plugin would not cause long delays.
• [Playwright] Updated restart config option to include 3 restart strategies:
  • 'context' or false - restarts browser context but keeps running browser. Recommended by Playwright team to keep tests isolated.
  • 'browser' or true - closes browser and opens it again between tests.
  • 'session' or 'keep' - keeps browser context and session, but cleans up cookies and localStorage between tests. The fastest option when running tests in windowed mode. Works with keepCookies and keepBrowserState options. This behavior was default prior CodeceptJS 3.1
• [Playwright] Extended methods to provide more options from engine. These methods were updated so additional options can be be passed as the last argument:
  • click
  • dragAndDrop
  • checkOption
  • uncheckOption

// use Playwright click options as 3rd argument
I.click('canvas', '.model', { position: { x: 20, y: 40 } })
// check option also has options
I.checkOption('Agree', '.signup', { position: { x: 5, y: 5 } })

• eachElement plugin introduced. It allows you to iterate over elements and perform some action on them using direct engines API

await eachElement('click all links in .list', '.list a', (el) => {
  await el.click();
})

• [Playwright] Added support to playwright-core package if playwright is not installed. See #3190, fixes #2663.

  I.switchTo('#editor frame');
  I.fillField('textarea', 'value');
}, 5);

  const hashes = dataTableArgument.hashes(); 
  // hashes = [{ name: 'Harry', surname: 'Potter', position: 'Seeker' }];

3.0.0

👌 LEARN HOW TO UPGRADE TO CODECEPTJS 3 ➡

• Playwright set to be a default engine.
• NodeJS 12+ required
• BREAKING CHANGE: Syntax for tests has changed.

// Previous
Scenario('title', (I, loginPage) => {});

// Current
Scenario('title', ({ I, loginPage }) => {});

• BREAKING Replaced bootstrap/teardown scripts to accept only functions or async functions. Async function with callback (with done parameter) should be replaced with async/await. See our upgrade guide.
• TypeScript guide and boilerplate project
• tryTo and pauseOnFail plugins installed by default
• Introduced one-line installer:

npx create-codeceptjs .

Read changelog to learn more about version 👇

3.0.0-rc

• Moved Helper class into its own package to simplify publishing standalone helpers.
• Fixed typings for I.say and I.retry by @Vorobeyko
• Updated documentation:
  • Quickstart
  • Best Practices
  • Custom Helpers
  • TypeScript

3.0.0-beta.4

🐛 Bug Fix:

• PageObject was broken when using "this" inside a simple object.
• The typings for all WebDriver methods work correctly.
• The typings for "this.helper" and helper constructor work correctly, too.

🧤 Internal:

• Our TS Typings will be tested now! We strarted using dtslint to check all typings and all rules for linter. Example:

const psp = wd.grabPageScrollPosition() // $ExpectType Promise<PageScrollPosition>
psp.then(
  result => {
    result.x // $ExpectType number
    result.y // $ExpectType number
  }
)

• And last: Reducing package size from 3.3Mb to 2.0Mb

3.0.0-beta-3

• BREAKING Replaced bootstrap/teardown scripts to accept only functions or async functions. Async function with callback (with done parameter) should be replaced with async/await. See our upgrde guide.
• Test artifacts introduced. Each test object has artifacts property, to keep attachment files. For instance, a screenshot of a failed test is attached to a test as artifact.
• Improved output for test execution
  • Changed colors for steps output, simplified
  • Added stack trace for test failures
  • Removed Event emitted from log in --verbose mode
  • List artifacts of a failed tests

• Steps & metasteps refactored by @Vorobeyko. Logs to arguments passed to page objects:

// TEST:
MyPage.hasFiles('first arg', 'second arg');

// OUTPUT:
MyPage: hasFile "First arg", "Second arg"
  I see file "codecept.js"
  I see file "codecept.po.json"

• Introduced official TypeScript boilerplate. Started by @Vorobeyko.

3.0.0-beta

• NodeJS 12+ required
• BREAKING CHANGE: Syntax for tests has changed.

// Previous

Basic feature file:

Feature: Business rules
  In order to achieve my goals
  As a persona
  I want to be able to interact with a system

  Scenario: do anything in my life
    Given I need to open Google

Step definition:

const I = actor();

Given('I need to open Google', () => {
  I.amOnPage('https://google.com');
});

Run it with --features --steps flag:

codeceptjs run --steps --features

---

• Brekaing Chnage run command now uses relative path + test name to run exactly one test file.

Previous behavior (removed):

codeceptjs run basic_test.js

Current behavior (relative path to config + a test name)

codeceptjs run tests/basic_test.js

This change allows using auto-completion when running a specific test.

---

• Nested steps output enabled for page objects.

    I.amOnPage('/bye');
    I.dontSee('Hello');
    I.see('Bye');
  });
  I.see('Hello');
});

• Parallel Execution by @sveneisenschmidt. Run tests in parallel specifying number of chunks:

  "parallel": {
    // run in 2 processes
    "chunks": 2,

1.1.0

Major update to CodeceptJS. NodeJS v 8.9.1 is now minimal Node version required. This brings native async-await support to CodeceptJS. It is recommended to start using await for tests instead of generators:

async () => {
  I.amOnPage('/page');
  const url = await I.grabTextFrom('.nextPage');
  I.amOnPage(url);
}

Thanks to @Apshenkin for implementation. Also, most helpers were refactored to use async-await. This made our code simpler. We hope that this encourages more users to send pull requests!

We also introduced strict ESLint policies for our codebase. Thanks to @Galkin for that.

• [Puppeteer] Helper introduced. Learn how to run tests headlessly with Google Chrome's Puppeteer.
• [SeleniumWebdriver] Helper is deprecated, it is recommended to use Protractor with config option angular: false instead.
• [WebDriverIO] nested iframe support in the within block by @reubenmiller. Example:

within({frame: ['#wrapperId', '[name=content]']}, () => {
  I.click('Sign in!');
  I.see('Email Address');
});
I.see('Nested Iframe test');
I.dontSee('Email Address');
});

• [WebDriverIO] Support for ~ locator to find elements by aria-label. This behavior is similar as it is in Appium and helps testing cross-platform React apps. Example:

<Text accessibilityLabel="foobar">

1.0

CodeceptJS hits first stable release. CodeceptJS provides a unified API for web testing for Webdriverio, Protractor, and NightmareJS. Since 1.0 you can also test mobile applications in the similar manner with Appium.

Sample test:

I.seeAppIsInstalled("io.super.app");
I.click('~startUserRegistrationCD');
I.fillField('~email of the customer', 'Nothing special'));
I.see('[email protected]', '~email of the customer'));
I.clearField('~email of the customer'));
I.dontSee('Nothing special', '~email of the customer'));

• Read the Mobile Testing guide.
• Discover Appium Helper

---

We also introduced two new helpers for data management. Using them you can easily prepare and cleanup data for your tests using public REST API.

Sample test

// create a user using data factories and REST API
I.have('user', { name: 'davert', password: '123456' });
// use it to login
I.amOnPage('/login');
I.fillField('login', 'davert');
I.fillField('password', '123456');
I.click('Login');
I.see('Hello, davert');
// user will be removed after the test

• Read Data Management guide
• REST Helper
• ApiDataFactory

Next notable feature is SmartWait for WebDriverIO, Protractor, SeleniumWebdriver. When smartwait option is set, script will wait for extra milliseconds to locate an element before failing. This feature uses implicit waits of Selenium but turns them on only in applicable pieces. For instance, implicit waits are enabled for seeElement but disabled for dontSeeElement
