How we do testing at Coral with Talk.

We use Nightwatch and Selenium for our E2E tests and Enzyme for our React Components.

Selenium Server is a Java application which Nightwatch uses to connect to the various browsers.

Tags

You'll notice that each test file starts with tags. This is useful to selectively target tests to run.

i.e nightwatch --tag login will only run login tests tagged with login

module.exports {
  '@tags': ['login'],
  'Test': browser => {
    [...]
  }
}
