Learning Azure DevOps

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

Just like Travis CI on GitHub, you can set up automated tests in Azure DevOps to run whenever you commit to master: use Pipelines, select a template, and it'll run automatically. azure-pipelines.yml can be automagically generated or manually created to set up your tests.

Current favourites: Selenium WebDriver example and Cypress example.

My first Azure DevOps git repo

Selenium IDE test example

https://dev.azure.com/hchiam/code-inspiration

Selenium IDE (as opposed to Selenium WebDriver) is very easy to set up locally: just install a Chrome Extension or Firefox Addon with a few clicks, and record actions directly in the browser. However, certain actions will not replay correctly when you use the CLI command, or require workarounds/tricks to work (in which case, you might want to use Cypress - see the other example).

This is an azure-pipelines.yml configuration file that runs the app while running a Selenium .side test: https://dev.azure.com/hchiam/_git/code-inspiration?path=%2Fazure-pipelines.yml

Cypress test example (+Cucumber/Gherkin)

https://dev.azure.com/hchiam/_git/test-cypress?path=README.md

The interface part of Cypress is very developer-friendly. Currently supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Electron, but not Internet Explorer yet as of February 2020 (in which case, you might want to use Selenium WebDriver - see the other example).

Here's an example test configuration for Azure DevOps:

<details> <summary>YAML: (Click to expand)</summary>
trigger:
- master

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

steps:
- task: NodeTool@0
  inputs:
    versionSpec: '10.x'
  displayName: 'Install Node.js'

- script: npm install
  displayName: 'Install Dependencies'

- script: npx cypress run
  displayName: 'Run Cypress Test'
</details>

Selenium WebDriver test example (cross-browser testing)

https://dev.azure.com/hchiam/test-cross-browser-testing/_git/test-cross-browser-testing-selenium?path=README.md

Selenium WebDriver can run on Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and more. It has APIs for different programming languages, which includes JavaScript via selenium-webdriver.

Here's an example test configuration for Azure DevOps:

<details> <summary>YAML: (Click to expand)</summary>
trigger:
- master

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

steps:
- task: NodeTool@0
  inputs:
    versionSpec: '10.x'
  displayName: 'Install Node.js'

- script: npm install
  displayName: 'Install Dependencies'

- script: node index
  displayName: 'Run Selenium WebDriver Test'
</details>

Results: https://dev.azure.com/hchiam/test-cross-browser-testing/_build/results?buildId=51&view=logs&j=12f1170f-54f2-53f3-20dd-22fc7dff55f9&t=5caf77c8-9b10-50ef-b5c7-ca89c63e1c86

In another repo, here's an example Selenium WebDriver test (running with Node.js) that runs Firefox in headless mode, has hover/mouseover step examples, and properly fails/passes husky pre-commit hooks: https://github.com/hchiam/code-inspiration/blob/5c60bbdeb8f445a5e3c1d7431378c78e71515b51/selenium-test.js
