System Test Framework

A Crystal library to perform system and controller tests for Amber Web Applications.

System Testing is a level of the software testing where a complete and integrated software is tested. The purpose of a system test is to evaluate the system’s compliance with the specified requirements.

When is it performed?

System Testing is performed after Integration Testing and before Acceptance Testing.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  amber_spec:
    github: amberframework/amber-spec

Usage

Before running your tests ensure you have installed the chromedriver in your system path

For MacOS you can install the driver using Homebrew with the following command:

brew install chromedriver

This will install the chrome driver on the system path /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

If you're running in a different OS such a Linux you can specify the chromedriver path as such

# spec/spec_helper.cr
require "amber"
require "amber_spec"

module SystemTest
  DRIVER = :chrome
  PATH = "/usr/local/bin/chromedriver"
end

Writing SystemTests

require "spec_helper"

class SomeFeatureSpec < Spec::SystemTestCase
  describe "Some Feature test" do
    it "works" do
      visit "http://crystal-lang.org/api"
      fill "", "Client", "search"

      types_list = page.find_element(:id, "types-list")
      types = types_list.find_elements(:css, "li:not([class~='hide'])")

      types.size.should eq 512
    end
  end
end

Run your crystal spec
