TypeScript Nightwatch Example

Working nightwatch browser automated testing example using TypeScript.

Commands

• yarn install the first time to install dependencies (or use npm install etc).
• yarn start to run the tests (automatically downloads selenium and chromedriver if missing).
• yarn prettier to automatically format your code (done automatically before commit).

Features

• Uses TypeScript & includes type definitions (based on npm-nightwatch) for nightwatch.js for nice auto-completion and it's harder to shoot oneself in the leg.
• Uses prettier to enforce common formatting between developers.
• Use VSCode with prettier plugin for best experience.
• Prettier is automatically run before each commit so the styles are enforced even if not using VSCode/Atom etc with the appropriate plugins.
• Uses selenium-download to automatically download selenium binary and chrome driver if does not already exist.
• Uses node-config for powerful configuration management.

Configuration

• The configuration typings are defined in src/config/config.dt.ts, edit this file to reflect the needed structure.
• The default configuration is in src/config/default.ts. This should be checked into the repository.
• Developers can create a src/config/local.ts with similar structure and only define the properties that are different than the default configuration to override them. This file should not be checked in.
