This part assumed that you have a working NodeJS environment on Ubuntu. See the build environment document for further instructions.
The tests for Zonemaster GUI are implemented using playwright, to install the tests dependencies run the following.
npm run e2e:install-deps
npm run e2e:install
This will install system dependencies as well as the browsers used to tests the GUI.
To run the tests run the following command.
npm run e2e
If the appearance of the GUI changes some tests might fail as the baseline for visual comparison is no longer up to date. In this case it is required to update the snapshots. The following commands updates the snapshots while ensuring a similar environment than the one the CI runs in is used (Ubuntu 22.04 and UTC time).
docker run --rm --network host -v $(pwd):/work/ -w /work/ -it mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.44.1-jammy /bin/bash
npm run e2e:install
npm run e2e:update
exit
Note that this method may not always work: it could happen that the generated snapshots are incorrect and have slight differences (e.g. appears zoomed in/out, etc). In that case, repeat the above steps but outside of the Docker environment, and preferably on a machine that uses a similar OS/environment as the CI.
Angular development server does not provide a way to serve multiple locales.
To test the fully localized application it is possible to use the command
npm run e2e:test-server
. This command builds the application in test mode and
starts a basic web server to serve the generated files.
