prestashop-automation-tool

This tool is designed to make selenium testing of PrestaShop shops really easy. It should work with any non-windows OS, but the preferred configuration is a Linux machine with apache2.

#Setup

##Prerequisites

You will need a working ruby environment:

sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev

And probably the mysql headers for the mysql2 gem to compile:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

##Installation

sudo gem install prestashop-automation-tool

#Usage

##First Steps

Browse to a local PrestaShop installation:

cd /var/www/prestashop

Initialize the environment:

pat init

This will try to guess the parameters needed from your installation files and ask about what's missing. When the small wizard is done you can edit the pat.conf.json file and correct it if necessary.

Enable some tests:

pat enable install

Run the tests:

pat test

The test command will run all tests under tests-enabled, but you can specify a specific file name to run.

##Creating a New Test

To create a test stub, just run this:

pat create my.test

This will put a new test called my.test.rb under tests-enabled containing something like:

require 'prestashop-automation-tool/helper'

describe 'My first test' do
	it 'should login as a customer' do
		@shop.login_to_front_office
	end
end

Your test script receives automatically a @shop variable, which is an instance of PrestaShopAutomation::PrestaShop.

Look at the modules under prestashop-automation/lib/actions to see what you can do with this shop!

The database is saved before each test, then restored, so you can consider that each test runs in its own sandbox.
