Testcafe Example

Example e2e tests (some of which are slightly silly) written in Testcafe, that:

• use a page object pattern (now with 100% less class)
• are es6y
• use async/await
• run in parallel
• run on multiple browsers
• run headlessly
• run tests on BrowserStack

Setup

1. clone clone git@github.com:qualityshepherd/testcafe-example.git
2. install npm i

Run

• run npm test to watch in browser, or
• npm run ci to run parallel, headless, and retry fails on Chrome
• npm run browserstack to run tests in the cloud (requires an account and env keys to be set)
• npm run to see more run options

Feedback

Testcafe is really good; I used it for years but it has two issues that ultimately became deal-breakers for me:

1. no beforeAll which sucks on it's own but also means you have to use Roles... which really sucks.
2. they shard/thread tests at the test level instead of the file level.
