JavaScript OpenSDK
Getting started
To get started, you need to complete the following prerequisites checklist:
Login to your account at https://app.testproject.io/ or register a new one.
​Download and install an Agent for your operating system or pull a container from Docker Hub.
Run the Agent and register it with your Account.
Get a development token from Integrations / SDK page.
You must have Node.js v12 or newer installed.
Installation
The TestProject JavaScript OpenSDK is available on NPM. All you need to do is add it as an NPM module using:
npm install @tpio/javascript-opensdk
and you're good to go.
Test Development
Using a TestProject driver is exactly identical to using a Selenium driver. Changing the import statement is enough in most cases.
Following examples are based on the Chrome driver, however are applicable to any other supported drivers.
Here's an example of how to create a TestProject version of the Chrome driver:
// import { Builder } from 'selenium-webdriver';  <-- replace this import
import { Builder } from '@tpio/javascript-opensdk';
​
const createChromeDriver = async () => {
  const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
​
  //////////////////////////////
  // Your test code goes here //
  //////////////////////////////
​
  await driver.quit();
};
Here's a complete test example:
import { By } from 'selenium-webdriver';
import { Builder } from '@tpio/javascript-opensdk';
​
export const simpleTest = async (): Promise<void> => {
  const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
​
  await driver.get('https://example.testproject.io/web/');
  await driver.findElement(By.css('#name')).sendKeys('John Smith');
  await driver.findElement(By.css('#password')).sendKeys('12345');
  await driver.findElement(By.css('#login')).click();
​
  const passed = await driver.findElement(By.css('#logout')).isDisplayed();
​
  console.log(passed ? 'Test Passed' : 'Test Failed');
​
  await driver.quit();
};
Drivers
TestProject's OpenSDK overrides standard Selenium/Appium drivers with extended functionality.  Below is the package's structure containing all supported drivers:
src
 └── sdk
      └── drivers
             ├── web
             │    ├── chrome
             │    ├── edge
             │    ├── firefox
             │    ├── ie (Legacy Internet Explorer)
             │    └── safari
             └── mobile
                  ├── androidDriver
                  └── iosDriver
Development token
The SDK uses a development token for communication with the Agent and the TestProject platform. Drivers search for the development token in an environment variable called TP_DEV_TOKEN. Alternatively, the token can be set using the withToken method on the builder:
import { Builder } from '@tpio/javascript-opensdk';
​
const createChromeDriver = async () => {
  const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').withToken('YOUR_TOKEN_GOES_HERE').build();
​
  //////////////////////////////
  // Your test code goes here //
  //////////////////////////////
​
  await driver.quit();
};
Remote Agent
By default, drivers communicate with the local Agent listening on http://localhost:8585.
Agent URL (host and port), can be also provided explicitly using driver builder:
driver = new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').withToken('YOUR_DEV_TOKEN').withRemoteAgent('http://URL:PORT').build();
It can also be set using the TP_AGENT_URL environment variable.
NOTE: By default, the agent binds to localhost. In order to allow the SDK to communicate with agents running on a remote machine (On the same network), the agent should bind to an external interface. For additional documentation on how to achieve such, please refer here​
Implicit project and job names
The SDK will attempt to infer Project and Job names automatically when running tests using the Mocha framework. For example:
Directory e2e_tests/chrome contains my_tests.spec.ts test file.
When executing my_tests.spec.ts, the SDK will infer e2e_tests/chrome as the project name (replacing any slashes / with dots .).
The job name will be set to the file name, skipping the .spec.ts suffix. In this example: my_tests.
Explicit project and job names
Project and Job names can be also specified explicitly using the withProjectName and withJobName methods of the builder:
import { Builder } from '@tpio/javascript-opensdk';
​
const createChromeDriver = async () => {
  const driver = await new Builder()
    .forBrowser('chrome')
    .withProjectName('PROJECT NAME')
    .withJobName('JOB_NAME')
    .build();
​
  //////////////////////////////
  // Your test code goes here //
  //////////////////////////////
​
  await driver.quit();
};
Test Reports
Automatic reporting
Tests are reported automatically when a test ends or when the driver quits. This behavior can be overridden or disabled (see Disabling Reports section below).
Manual reporting
To report tests manually, use the driver.report().tests() method and its overloads. For example:
import { Builder } from '@tpio/javascript-opensdk';
​
const createChromeDriver = async () => {
  const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
  let passed = true;
​
  //////////////////////////////
  // Your test code goes here //
  //////////////////////////////
​
  driver.report().test('My test name', passed);
  await driver.quit();
};
Steps are reported automatically when driver commands are executed. If this feature is disabled (or in addition to automatic reports) manual reports can be performed. For example:
import { Builder } from '@tpio/javascript-opensdk';
​
const testReportStepManually = async () => {
  const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
​
  driver.report().step('First Step', 'Completed successfully', true);
  driver.report().step('Second Step', 'Failed', false);
  driver.report().test('My Test', false); // Report the test as failed
​
  await driver.quit();
};
Disabling Reports
TestProject OpenSDK reports all driver commands and their results to the TestProject Cloud. Doing so allows us to present beautifully designed reports and statistics in its dashboards.
Reports can be completely disabled using the setDisableReporting method of the builder:
import { Builder } from '@tpio/javascript-opensdk';
​
const testWithoutReports = async () => {
  const disableReports = true;
  const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').setDisableReporting(true).build();
​
  //////////////////////////////
  // Your test code goes here //
  //////////////////////////////
​
  await driver.quit();
};
If reports were not disabled when the driver was created, they can be disabled or enabled later. However, if reporting was explicitly disabled when the driver was created, they cannot be enabled later.
Reports can be temporarily disable using the disableAutoTestReports method of report() and enabled later:
import { Builder } from '@tpio/javascript-opensdk';
​
const testTemporarilyDisableAllReportingThenReenableItLater = async () => {
  const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
​
  driver.report().disableAutoTestReports(true);
  await this.driver.get('https://example.testproject.io/web/'); //This statement will not be reported
  driver.report().disableAutoTestReports(false);
  await driver.quit();
};
The importance of using the quit() method
Even more so than with regular Selenium-based tests, it is important to make sure that you call the quit() method of the driver object at the end of every test that uses the TestProject SDK. Upon calling quit(), the SDK will send all remaining report items to the Agent, ensuring that your report on the TestProject platform is complete.
