Automated tests for the Snippets web app

You will need a version of the Java Runtime Environment installed

Before you will be able to run these tests, you'll need to have Python 2.6 installed.

note

The below instructions will install the required Python libraries into your global Python installation. If you work on multiple Python projects that might end up needing different versions of the same libraries, you might want to follow sudo easy_install pip with sudo pip install virtualenv, and then create and activate a virtualenv (e.g. virtualenv snippets-tests-env; source snippets-tests-env/bin/activate) to create a clean "virtual environment" for just this project. Then you can pip install -r requirements.txt in your virtual environment without needing to use sudo.

If you don't mind installing globally, just run:

sudo easy_install pip

followed by:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

note

if you are running on Debian or Ubuntu, you may need to do:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

to install the required Python libraries.

Once the above prerequisites have been met, you can run the tests using the following command:

py.test tests/test_snippets.py

For other possible options, type py.test --help.

If you want to get involved and add more tests, then there's just a few things we'd like to ask you to do:

1. Use the template files for all new tests and page objects
2. Follow our simple style guide
3. Fork this project with your own GitHub account
4. Make sure all tests are passing, and submit a pull request with your changes
