How to run tests programmatically in Nightwatch.js? - nightwatch.js

I'm using Nightwatch.js and trying to run E2E tests using the programmatic API as described here.
Here is my nightwatch.json file:
{
"src_folders": ["tests"],
"webdriver": {
"start_process": true,
"server_path": "node_modules/.bin/chromedriver",
"port": 9515
},
"test_settings": {
"default": {
"desiredCapabilities": {
"browserName": "chrome"
}
}
}
}
and index.js script:
const Nightwatch = require('nightwatch');
Nightwatch.runTests(require('./nightwatch.json')).then(() => {
console.log('All tests has been passed!');
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
When I run the script I get the error:
Error: An error occurred while retrieving a new session: "Connection refused to 127.0.0.1:9515". If the Webdriver/Selenium service is managed by Nightwatch, check if "start_process" is set to "true".
I feel it needs some configuration but the documentation isn't very helpful here.

ECONNREFUSED using nightwatch-accessibility library

I'm trying to use the nightwatch-accessibility library, but keep getting error
POST /session/b4e18278544c74b9213c030b8119ee7e/timeouts/async_script - ECONNREFUSED
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9515
Error while running .setTimeoutsAsyncScript() protocol action: An unknown error has occurred.

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9515
Error while running .executeScriptAsync() protocol action: An unknown error has occurred.
Normal tests work fine. As far as I can tell I am following the example correctly. The test assertions work correctly it just appears at the end of the test run.

globals.js
const chromedriver = require('chromedriver');
module.exports = {
before: function (done) {
chromedriver.start();
done();
},
after: function (done) {
chromedriver.stop();
done();
}
};
First test
module.exports = {
'#tags': ['accessibility'],
'First test': function (browser) {
browser
.url(`http://www.google.com`)
.pause(3000)
.initAccessibility()
.assert.accessibility('html', {
verbose: true
})
.end()
}
}
Executing by typing nightwatch from the terminal like I would other tests. Any ideas and is this the best accessibility assertion library for NightwatchJS?
I ended up using nightwatch-axe-verbose instead. Usage details included on this web accessibility testing using nightwatch blog post.

Nightwatchjs: how to solve Error retrieving a new session from the selenium server?

This is my part of my config:
"selenium": {
"start_process": true, // tells nightwatch to start/stop the selenium process
"server_path": "./selenium-server-standalone-3.8.1.jar",
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 4444, // standard selenium port
"cli_args": {
"webdriver.chrome.driver": "./chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe"
}
},
test_settings" : {
"default" : {
"use_ssl": true,
"credentials": {
"username": "admin",
"key": "secret"
},
The test was running fine until I inserted use_ssl. Now I am getting this error:
Error retrieving a new session from the selenium server
Connection refused! Is selenium server started?
{ Error: write EPROTO 101057795:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:openssl\ssl\s23_clnt.c:797:

at WriteWrap.afterWrite (net.js:800:14) code: 'EPROTO', errno: 'EPROTO', syscall: 'write' }
I am trying to test a page which requires windows authentication.

Pass karma programmatically arguments

I am using karma with jasmine and the jasmine-spec-tags framework. When starting karma from CLI I use "karma start --tags=MY_TAG" to run only some tests with the tag MY_TAG. This works fine.
Now, I need to start karma programmatically. I tried the following code (note the client.args value at the end):
const server = new Server(
{
autoWatch: true,
browsers: [
'Chrome',
],
files: [
'./node_modules/babel-polyfill/dist/polyfill.js',
'./node_modules/es6-shim/es6-shim.min.js',
'./karma/karma.entry.js'
],
frameworks: ['jasmine', 'jasmine-spec-tags'],
phantomJsLauncher: {
exitOnResourceError: true
},
port: 9876,
preprocessors: {
'./karma/karma.entry.js': ['webpack', 'sourcemap']
},
reporters: ['dots'],
singleRun: false,
webpack: webpackConf,
webpackServer: {
noInfo: true
},
client:
{
args: ['--tags=SchedulingApiService']
}
});
server.start();
This does not work. Am I misunderstanding the client.args value? Would be glad about any help.
To solve this, the client part has to look like this:
client:
{
tags: 'SchedulingApiService'
}

Protractor proxy settings configuration is not passed to Saucelabs

To enable saucelabs proxy to work in older version of protractor, we were overriding sendRequest method by setting host and port in below index.js:
protractor\node_modules\selenium-webdriver\http\index.js
Now protractor allows you set the proxy through capabilities object (as shown below) which should be passed to index.js sendRequest new parameter called 'opt_proxy'.
capabilities: {
"browserName": "chrome",
'proxy': {
'proxyType': 'manual',
'httpProxy': 'appproxy.web.abc.com:84'
},
"chromeOptions": {
"args": [
"--disable-extensions",
"--test-type"
]
},
"customData": {
"usageBracket" : "1",
"displayName" : "Chrome",
"id" : "CH"
}
}
However, when I am still getting null for opt_proxy. Is there anything I am doing wrong? I even tried passing through CLI using --proxy="" but it still get null.
I have gotten my proxy configuration to work with Sauce Labs using the sauceAgent util provided within Protractor. Here is a code snippet from my protractor config file.
var HttpsProxyAgent = require("https-proxy-agent");
var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent('http://localhost:56193'); //Insert your proxy info here
exports.config = {
sauceUser: process.env.SAUCE_USERNAME,
sauceKey: process.env.SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY,
sauceAgent: agent,
capabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
args: [
'--proxy-server=socks5://host:port',
]
},
},

chutzpah with requirejs and sinon

I am trying to run chutzpah with Qunit requirejs and sinon. I have defined the chutzpah json like this:
{
"Framework": "qunit",
"TestHarnessReferenceMode": "AMD",
"TestHarnessLocationMode": "SettingsFileAdjacent",
"References": [
{ "Path": "Scripts/jquery-2.1.1.js" },
{ "Path": "Scripts/sinon-1.9.1.js" },
{ "Path": "Scripts/require.js" }
],
"Tests": [
{ "Path": "tests" }
]
}
the unit test:
define(['base/core', 'base/myService'],
function (core, myService) {
module("chutzpah test");
test("will return correct version from core", function() {
var version = core.version;
equal(version, 8);
});
test("sinon checking", function() {
sinon.stub(myService, 'getMessage').returns('fake value');
var result = core.returnMessage();
equal(result, 'fake value');
});
});
when I run the test, I am always getting the following error:
------ Discover test started ------
Error: Timeout occured when executing test file
While Running:d:\tdd javascript\unittestjavascript\unittestjavascript\tests\base\mytests.js
========== Discover test finished: 0 found (0:00:11.1241566) ==========
I have tried to find why it's doesn't work, but had no success.
Does any one have any idea what I am doing wrong?
