my package.json has scripts like this
{
"scripts": {
"pretest": "npm run tsc",
"test": "gulp e2e",
}
}
we use typescript and webdriverIO for automation. I want to use gulp so that i can pass parameters to my test framework. Example:
npm test --suite HomePageTests
then the specs related to Home page must run.
I have the gulp file like this
// gulpfile.js
const gulp = require('gulp');
const Launcher = require('webdriverio/build/lib/launcher');
const wdio = new Launcher(path.join(__dirname,
'src/config/conf.ts'));
// fetch command line arguments
const arg = (argList => {
let arg = {}, a, opt, thisOpt, curOpt;
for (a = 0; a < argList.length; a++) {
thisOpt = argList[a].trim();
opt = thisOpt.replace(/^\-+/, '');
if (opt === thisOpt) {
// argument value
if (curOpt) arg[curOpt] = opt;
curOpt = null;
}else {
// argument name
curOpt = opt;
arg[curOpt] = true;
}
}
console.log("arg", arg)
return arg;
})(process.argv);
gulp.task('e2e', () => {
return wdio.run(code => {
process.exit(code);
}, error => {
console.error('Launcher failed to start the test',error.stacktrace);
process.exit(1);
});
});
So when I call gulp directly like
gulp e2e --suite HomePageTests
it gets printed as
suite: HomePageTests
But if i use
npm test --suite HomePageTests
It fails as it prints gulp e2e HomePageTests
questions
- How do I pass these values from npm to make gulp understand
If I am pass to another value like gulp e2e --server staging and would like to use the variable "staging" in my spec file like
if server===
staging
{ // do this } else { // do that }
How should I pass them from gulp file to my spec file?
Thanks!!
