nightwatch-analytics

Use nightwatch.js to test analytics requests and data layer integrity.

This is a stock nightwatch install with an extra command and an extra assertion. The command will execute and return the results of window.performance.getEntries(). The assertion calls this command and tests for a beacon string and allows optional matching of querystring parameters. This effectively allows you to measure analytics requests. Be sure to take into account wait/load times when using this assertion.

Setup

1. Clone this repo locally.
2. Run npm install.

Testing

1. When ready to start testing, run npm test.
2. If you'd like to only run tests without updating webdriver, run npm run nightwatch.
3. Directly reference nightwatch if you'd like to only run specific test suites like so ./node_modules/nightwatch/bin/nightwatch <suite>.

Webdriver Update

1. Running npm test automatically updates webdrivers for easy sanity.
2. You can run npm run webdriver-update to manually update webdrivers.

TODO

1. Future iterations will implement a waitForRequest variant, which will perform the same comparison, but tied to a timeout to allow for processing.
2. Replace rackspace.com-specific test with a generic test.
