satisfy.js

Satisfy is a minimalistic browser testing utility designed to work with any test framework, oriented only around CSS selectors, designed for speed both of test writing and test execution.

For development, run the tests in a headless WebKit browser. For deployments, run them in the cloud in all browsers with Selenium.

It's the expect.js of browser / acceptance testing.

How to use

satisfy('localhost')
  .click('li#home a')
  .expect('h1:contains(Home)')
  .click('li#test a')
  .expect('h1:contains(Test)')

Mocha

With the mocha test framework:

var satisfy = require('satisfy');

describe('learnboost homepage', function () {
  it('should work', function (done) {
    satisfy('http://learnboost.com')
      .expect('a:contains(For Schools)')
      .run(done)
  });
});

Then run it:

$ mocha -t 0 test.js

Features

• Fast. The default adaptor is the fastest available.
• Test-framework agnostic, but best with the wonderful mocha
• No APIs to learn. Only based on CSS selectors.
• Extended CSS selectors thanks to Sizzle like :contains for text matching.
• Adaptor based
  • webkit-server (headless webkit)
  • soda (selenium)

Examples

Following a link

satisfy('localhost')
  .click('li#home a')
  .expect('h1:contains(Home)')

Filling a form

satisfy('localhost')
  .click('#add-classroom')
  .expect('#add-classroom-dialog', 7000) // override expect timeout
  .fill('input[name=classroom-name]', 'My classroom')
  .fill({ 'textarea': 'Something' })
  .click('#add-classroom input[type=submit]')
  .expect('body:not(#add-classroom)')

Global options

If you wanted to pass options to all instances, you can implement that in userland easily by defining your own helper method:

function mytest (url) {
  return satisfy(url, { default options });
}
