E2E testing, Continous integration with Jenkins

We will use Jenkins server with docker from previous article. Our goal for today will be run E2E test with using framework nightwatchjs+ cucumberjs+selenium on Jenkins server.

Let’s get started.

We have:

go to the http://localhost:1111/jenkins/pluginManager/ and login with user name and password “admin”

We need install following plugin:

after restart go to the http://localhost:1111/jenkins/blue and login again with name and password “admin”

Now we can create and run new pipeline

Jenkins Blueocean – New Pipeline

and that’s it.

As you can see we have two branches

For Master Branch we are using Cucumber and that’s the reason why we needed to install cucumber-report plugin.

We can see all is green, but when we want check cucumber report we need to have a look somewhere else.

Click on go to classic, and we switch to old jenkins style

Explanation and more details

Selenium Webdriver vs Selenium Server

Selenium Webdriver
In case that I want to start e2e test localy (on my PC) I need to have installed. I need specific version of internet browser agains of specific version webdriver.

Selenium server

  • internet browser (ie. Chrome)
  • selenium server (Grid)

source https://nightwatchjs.org/gettingstarted/#nightwatch-selenium-server

In my case I will use npm package “selenium-standalone“. So I have docker image with node 10, and during the build process of the image.
I install selenium- standalone with this command 

$npm install selenium-standalone@latest -g
$selenium-standalone install

during “selenium-standalone install” is downloaded selenium-server-standalone-3.141.5.jar and chrome driver chromedriver_linux64.zip (v.2.43).

I also need to install internet browser chrome. But always I need correct version Chrome Browser and Chromedriver, so in my Dockerfile during the build process I install latest version chromedriver with latest version Chrome browser.

Checking correct version ChromeDriver and Chrome browser inside docker container.

$docker run -it --name docker-selenium devuserpp/selenium-chromless bash
or later if "docker-selenium" already running
$docker exec -it docker-selenium bash
$chromedriver --v
$google-chrome --version

first 3 groups of numbers should be the same, i.e. my example

ChromeDriver=80.0.3987.106
Google Chrome=80.0.3987.132

current ChromeDriver version you can check here

my Dockerfile.

So Inside my docker image I have:

  • is installed latest stable version of internet browser Chrome
  • is installed latest version of ChromeDriver
  • is installed install openjdk-8-jre (need for run /usr/local/lib/node_modules/selenium-standalone/.selenium/selenium-server/3.141.5-server.jar)
  • is installed latest version “selenium-standalone”

becouse Nightwatch has own runner I do not need to start Selenium server at all.

All configuration is included here in file ” nightwatch.conf.js “
