I am trying to get the automated ui tests to run using jenkins on a node. How can I get that going using nightwatch.js?
Here is a blog post that uses Nightwatch with Jenkins, it might help you; https://juristr.com/blog/2014/02/nightwatch-test-automation/
It contains an introduction for running Nightwatch tests and how to run the tests automatically in Jenkins.
In Nightwatch;
On Windows it is suggested to create a nightwatch.js at the root of your project which requires the binary from the node_modules.
require('nightwatch/bin/runner.js');
In this way you can invoke the runner as follows:
$ node nightwatch.js
In Jenkins you will have to do the following to run Nightwatch ;

I created a VueJs project with some unit tests (using Jest) and integration tests using Cypress.
I have also a Jenkins pipeline in order to build, test and deploy the application.
I Integrated, as test stage, the unit tests but I would like to integrate also Cypress in order to run the integration tests into a dedicated pipeline step.
Is is possible to have this without installing any additional Cypress Jenkins plugin?
I mean, Is it possible to use a docker image to run the tests using Cypress?
Can you point me to some examples?
You should be able to use this with Jenkins Docker capabilities. Also here is another example you can refer to.
I am setting up the integration test framework for a Java rest api in our project and we want to run integration test in the gitlab pipeline. Since these tests are running in the same project as the API, we are wondering couple of things:
We dont want to run Karate tests during the maven build process. We want to run them only at integration test stage after the application deployment stage is complete. How do we do that as the maven build process runs both the junit unit tests and karate tests.
Since the API requires authentication, we need to run the karate test in a docker container, since we can inject our credentials only in the container as we are using hashi-corp vault to store the credentials. How do we launch a container with Karate client.
There are ways to run only a subset using Maven. What I do is define a different JUnit test, and call that from the command-line. Read the docs for more: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate#command-line
As long as you can pass environment variables (which you certainly can in Docker) you are good. Refer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52821230/143475
I am using Jenkins for my project CI. And several automation test cases developed by Coded UI(C# language) will be run when the new build is deployed. I created a job on the master(windows) that MSTest those test cases(note: with MSTest under cmd, test cases can be run successfully) but saw the below issue:
Error calling Initialization method for test class QuickUI.SmokeTests: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestException: To run tests that interact with the desktop, you must set up the test agent to run as an interactive process. For more information, see "How to: Set Up Your Test Agent to Run Tests That Interact with the Desktop" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=159018)
Therefore,
1) Need I use Jenkins slave to run test cases?
2) If so, how to config since the dlls needs to be copied to slave firstly?
3) Is there any account or jenkins service configuration needs to be taken care?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you need to get mstest setup on your build machine. The easiest way is to use test agents (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38186) when installing chose test agents.
(below is copied from my answer in Coded UI build server integration process)
You going to want to put your CodedUI tests inside an orderedTest. Right Click on the solution -> add -> orderedTest.
You going to want to install https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/MSTestRunner+Plugin it's not a requirement, but it makes working with mstest in jenkins a little easier.
At this point you just need to configure the plugin in jenkins to run your orderedTest. It will need you to point to mstest and the location of your orderedtest.
1) Recommnd to run test on slave
2) To run GUI test, don't run the slave as windows service
3) Theoratically you only need the slave agent running. However the windows account logged in should have access to all the resources that your tests need.
Some other threads you could reference, pay special attention to this if you want to run the tests in unattended way.
Jenkins on Windows and GUI Tests without RDC
I am using Jenkins for integration testing.
Just to give the context. At the moment I have a separate build server which produces the build daily and Jenkins is not used as the build server. The build server executes the unit testing in my case.
When build process is complete it invokes the Jenkins job. In that job Jenkins start to deploy the build into the Virtual machine. I have a script for doing this.
Followed to that my plan is to run several scripts for doing the end-to-end testing.
Now I have several question in this regard:
How to parallelize the execution of the end-to-end tests?
As I am adding scripts after script I am getting worried how manageable it will be?
I am always using the web interface for adding and changing the scripts. How to do this from the command line?
Any ideas for a good tutorial? Any pointers from all of you? Thanks!
Looks like Build Flow Plugin is what I need.
https://github.com/jenkinsci/build-flow-plugin
You might want to try and see if you can use the Build Pipeline plugin before build flow. Much better visualization of what is going on, less scripting.
I link Build and deploy jobs in one sequence and then have unit and integration test jobs linked separately off the build job. You can then use Fail The Build plugin to have downstream jobs fail upstream ones.
I have recorded some simple selenium tests by Selenium IDE. Now I want to run those tests in Jenkins.
Which plugin to Jenkins do I need to do that? And how to run the tests step by step?
My test suite is in HTML.
Can you provide detailed steps for it?
Why isn't enough to run the selenium tests from maven though jenkins? This is how we made it work. If your jenkins is running on unix environment you should bear in mind that additional configuration of the system are needed.
