CoffeeTest

This extension enables the execution of TestCafe scripts using a TypeScript Runner file and the ts-node package.

IMPORTANT
This is only a personal project, it hasn't almost been tested and there are no plans to maintain or introduce new features.

Requirements

• You should have the Test Explorer UI extension installed.
• Add the ts-node package as a dependency on your TestCafe project.
• The BROWSER, HEADLESS and FILTER environment variables should be present within your runner.ts file as well as the filter method set up (this is how the extension tells TestCafe which browser and test to use). You can use this tiny test framework as reference.

Features

• Visualize and execute tests from the test explorer

  

• Configure browser and its visibility

  

• Start debugger for test scripts

  

• Quickly navigate to the test script

  

• Run, debug and navigate to test explorer from the script file

  

Limitations

• Currently only test scripts with the .ts extension are valid.
• Stopping the debugger or canceling a test run will not close the browser. This is because VSCode doesn't have the ability to control an external application.
