Compare Source

The TestCafe v3.7.0 update includes the capability to use Metadata as an interface, esm configuration file option, and a number of bug fixes.

meta-readmore

Declare Metadata Interface

Earlier versions of TestCafe supported Metadata as a type. In TestCafe v3.7.0 and higher, you should declare Metadata as an interface.

// testcafe.global.d.ts
declare module "testcafe" {
	global {
		interface Metadata {
			manual?: boolean,
		}
	}
}

New Configuration File Option: esm

Earlier versions of TestCafe supported the ESM Module from the CLI only. In TestCafe v3.7.0 and higher, you can use the esm configuration file option. Note that this option only works with Node.js 18.19-18.xx, and 20.8.0 and up.

Bug Fixes

• CDP client tab creation causes a WebSocket connection closed error in Chrome v130 (#​8286).
• An unhandled promise rejection occurs while launching sub-windows (#​8258).

v3.5.0

Compare Source

TestCafe v3.5.0 includes multiple enhancements and bug fixes. Pass Selector queries to the Visual Selector Debugger, explore new ways to specify screenshot path patterns, and use a new experimental flag to run multi-window tests with native automation!

meta-readmore

Pass Selector queries to the Visual Selector Debugger

When you pass a Selector query to the t.debug() method, TestCafe uses the query to populate the input field of the Visual Selector Debugger. The debugger highlights page elements that match the query.

t.debug(Selector('#header'));

[!Video https://www.screencast.com/users/testcafe/folders/Default/media/4274d757-f7a4-4982-add4-43bb0ba35cff/embed]

Use a custom path pattern for screenshots of failed tests

The pathPatternOnFails screenshot option allows TestCafe users to define a separate set of naming rules for screenshots taken on test failure. You can store these screenshots in a different folder, or add a common, recognizable element to their filenames. You can use this option on its own, or in conjunction with the pathPattern property.

{
    "screenshots": {
        "pathPatternOnFails": "${DATE}_${TIME}/failedTests/test-${TEST_INDEX}/${USERAGENT}/${FILE_INDEX}.png"
    }
}

Specify a path pattern for individual screenshots

Use the pathPattern option of the t.takeScreenshot action to specify a custom naming pattern for an individual screenshot:

t.takeScreenshot({
    pathPattern: "${DATE}_${TIME}/checkout-screenshot.png",
    fullPage: true
})

(Experimental) Run multi-window tests with native automation

TestCafe v2.5.0 was the first version of TestCafe to include native automation --- the capability to automate Chromium-based browsers with the native Chrome Debugging Protocol. This approach offers greater test stability and speed, but has a fair share of limitations. One of them is its incompatibility with multi-window tests.

TestCafe v3.5.0 offers an experimental solution for this issue --- the --experimental-multiple-windows CLI flag. If you enable this flag, you can run multi-window tests with the native automation engine.

The --experimental-multiple-windows mode does not support tests that include the following:

• Pop-up windows that launch file downloads.
• Browser window resizing.
• Screenshots.
• Video recording.

Please do not use the --experimental-multiple-windows flag in production or for business-critical tasks.

Bug Fixes

• TypeScript compilation fails if project dependencies include '@​babel/plugin-transorm-runtime' v7.23.3 or greater (#​8091).
• If you enable concurrent test execution, TestCafe launches tests before the conclusion of the fixture.before hook (#​6999).
• The Fixture.disableConcurrency method does not disable concurrent test execution (8087).
• TestCafe ignores the fullPage option when it takes screenshots on test failure (#​7761).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe cannot populate file input fields with the required attribute (#​8079).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe fails to execute tests that use service workers (#​8005, #​8054).
• When an action target is obscured by a sticky element, TestCafe incorrectly calculates the scroll distance necessary to interact with the target. (#​7377).
• Incorrect processing of front-end scripts causes automation errors (#​7713, #​8067, testcafe-hammerhead#2969).
• TestCafe incorrectly processes failing network requests when it runs on Node.js v16 and greater (#​7097).
• TestCafe incorrectly handles native dialogs in Mozilla Firefox (#​6815).

v3.4.0

Compare Source

TestCafe v3.4.0 introduces relative Role URLs, the ability to disable concurrency on a per-fixture basis, as well as other improvements and bug fixes.

meta-readmore

Enhancements

Relative Role URLs

Earlier versions of TestCafe did not support relative URLs for Role log-in pages. In TestCafe v3.4.0 and higher, if you set the baseUrl configuration file parameter or the --base-url CLI option, you can set a relative URL for a Role log-in page:

import { Role } from 'testcafe';

const userOne = Role('./login', async t => {
    /* log-in actions go here */
});

Disable concurrency on a per-fixture basis

Concurrent test execution is not suitable for tests that can only run in a certain order. To ignore the global concurrency setting for a particular fixture, use the disableConcurrency fixture method.

fixture`Fixture.disableConcurrency`
    .page`https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`
    .disableConcurrency;

Development Mode Enhancements

When you debug code inside a browser, the browser can appear unresponsive. Earlier versions of TestCafe automatically relaunched unresponsive browsers, including browsers that were used for debugging.

TestCafe v3.4.0 does not relaunch unresponsive browsers if you enter development mode.

Debug Panel Enhancements

The debug panel includes a new "Hide Picker" button. Click this button to disable the Selector Debugger and hide the Selector input field.

Bug Fixes

• TestCafe incorrectly logs requests during concurrent test execution (#​7977).
• TestCafe does not load images with non-lowercase srcset attribute declarations (testcafe-hammerhead#2958).
• TestCafe raises an unexpected client-side error when the application opens an ngx-formly form (#​7758).
• TestCafe cannot interact with page items at the edge of the viewport when the browser emulates a mobile device (#​8057).

v3.3.0

Compare Source

TestCafe v3.3.0 includes important bug fixes and quality of life improvements.

Bug Fixes

• TestCafe terminates the test run when it attempts to parse an empty JSON file (#​7935).
• Firefox throws an unexpected error when TestCafe attempts to close the browser window (#​7285).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe ignores the --disable-multiple-windows option when you interact with a link that points to "target=_blank", or open a new window with the window.open method (#​7916).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe ignores the clientScripts directive when you mock HTTP requests (#​7914).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe hangs when it runs tests in the headless version of Google Chrome (#​7898).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe doesn't throw an error when the user attempts to enable the userProfile option (#​7925).

v3.2.0

Compare Source

TestCafe v3.2.0 allows you to check whether TestCafe uses native automation to control the browser.

Check your native automation status

The nativeAutomation property of the t.browser object indicates whether TestCafe uses native automation to control the browser. The property's value is true when TestCafe uses native automation and false when TestCafe uses the Hammerhead proxy.

You can check the browser's native automation status before you start the test:

import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

fixture`TestController.browser`
    .page`https://example.com`;

test('Native automation check', async t => {
    await t.expect(t.browser.nativeAutomation).ok();
    //the test continues only if you use native automation
});

Bug Fixes

• TestCafe uses a version of the error-stack-parser package that contains a vulnerable dependency (PR #​7919 by @​sethidden).
• TestCafe does not clear cookie storage if a Role activation URL is the same as the page URL (#​7874).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe incorrectly processes web pages with file inputs (#​7886).

v3.1.0

Compare Source

TestCafe v3.1.0 introduces two enhancements:

• You can now respond to geolocation requests with the t.setNativeDialogHandler method.
• Your tests and test reports can now reference a variable that stores the framework's version number.

Respond to geolocation requests

Main article: t.setNativeDialogHandler

Use the t.setNativeDialogHandler method to respond to geolocation requests.

• Return an Error type object to Block geolocation requests.
• Return an object with coordinates to trigger the success callback of the getCurrentPosition method.

// Test
test('Switch from "allow" to "block"', async t => {
  await t
    .setNativeDialogHandler((type) => {
        if (type === 'geolocation')
            return { timestamp: 12356, accuracy: 20, coords: {latitude: '34.15321262322903', longitude: '-118.25543996370723'}; // Passes this data to geolocation requests
        return null;
    });
    .click('#buttonGeo')
    .setNativeDialogHandler((type) => {
        if (type !== 'geolocation')
            return null;
    
        const err = new Error('Some error');
    
        err.code = 1;
    
        return err; // Blocks geolocation requests
    })
    .click('#buttonGeo');

Reference the framework's version in tests and test reports

Main article: Version Logger API

Earlier versions of TestCafe could output the framework's version number to the console:

TestCafe 3.1.0 and up allows you to access the framework's version number in test code:

import { version } from 'testcafe';
console.log(`TestCafe version: ${version}`);

To access the framework's version number in your custom reporter, reference the first argument (version) of the init method:

init (version) {
   this
      .write(`Using TestCafe ${version}`)
      .newline()
}

Bug fixes

• TestCafe incorrectly reports test duration in concurrency mode (#​1816).
• TestCafe assigns a non-zero duration value to skipped tests, which leads to an unexpected increase in the total test run duration value (#​7731).
• [Native Automation] The setFileUpload method does not work (#​7832).
• [Native Automation] Request hooks cause tests to crash (#​7846).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe overrides page titles (#​7833).
• [Native Automation] If a website redirects the user to a new page before basic HTTP authentication is complete, the authentication process fails (#​7852).
• [Native Automation] The t.click action fails if the event handler accounts for pointer input pressure (#​7867).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe hangs when the browser yields a "Session with given ID not found" error (#​7865,#​7810).
• [Native Automation] TestCafe cannot set the httpOnly flag when you use the t.setCookies method (#​7793).

v3.0.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• The TestCafe status bar overlaps page elements, which leads to test execution issues (#​7797)
• TestCafe outputs an unhelpful warning message when it cannot apply the artifact path template (#​7256)
• A bug in the testcafe-browser-tools package causes TestCafe tests to hang on Ubuntu (#​7752)

v3.0.0

Compare Source

This major update includes two breaking changes:

• TestCafe v3.0.0 uses native CDP automation to run tests in Chromium-based browsers.
• TestCafe v3.0.0 removes support for Internet Explorer.

Other changes include:

• You can now access test and fixture data in hooks.
• You can now dismiss the print dialog with the native dialog handler.

Native automation

TestCafe v2.5.0 introduced an experimental mode that allows users to automate Chromium-based browsers, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, with the native CDP protocol. TestCafe v3.0.0 and up enables this capability out of the box.

Native automation increases test quality, stability, and speed.

• Read the "TestCafe goes native" announcement for more information on the benefits of the new approach.
• Read the Native Automation FAQ for more information on the practical aspects of this capability.

Access Test and Fixture data in hooks

You can now access the following data in fixture hooks (fixture.before, fixture.after) :

• Fixture name
• Fixture metadata
• Fixture path

Test hooks (fixture.beforeEach, fixture.afterEach, test.before, test.after) can access fixture data and the following test data:

• Test name
• Test metadata

fixture `Example Fixture`
    .page `http://example.com`
    .meta({ fixtureMeta: 'v' })
    .before( async (ctx, info) => {
        const fixtureName = info.name; /* Example Fixture */
        const fixtureMeta = info.meta; /* { fixtureMeta: 'v' } */
        const fixturePath = info.path /* /Users/dan/testcafe/fixture.js */
    });
    .beforeEach( async t => {
        const fixtureName = t.fixture.name; /* Example Fixture */
        const fixtureMeta = t.fixture.meta; /* { fixtureMeta: 'v' } */
        const fixturePath = t.fixture.path /* /Users/dan/testcafe/fixture.js */
        const testName = t.test.name; /* MyTest */
        const testMeta = t.test.meta; /* { 'key': 'value' } */
})

Read the Hooks guide for more information.

Dismiss the print dialog

You can now use the t.setNativeDialogHandler method to dismiss the print dialog.

Removed: Internet Explorer support

TestCafe v3.0.0 removes support for Internet Explorer 11, six months after the browser's official retirement. The browser came out more than 9 years ago, and has a worldwide market of less than 0.5%. It is survived by Edge, a popular Chromium-based browser that ships with modern versions of Windows.

Bug fixes

• Some client functions yield a fatal error when the test navigates to a new page or removes an iframe (#​7707).
• TestCafe fails to correctly modify certain request headers when it uses native automation (#​7748).
• A bug in the CDP protocol causes TestCafe to incorrectly process request hooks (#​7743).
• TestCafe outputs a vague error message if the framework fails to read or process the configuration file (#​7208, #​6437).
• TestCafe cannot select content with the "Ctrl+A" shortcut when the framework uses native automation (#​7667).
• The Monaco editor does not display code completion hints when TestCafe automates it with CDP #​7770.

v2.6.2

v2.6.0

Compare Source

TestCafe v2.6.0 introduces two enhancements: a new hook that allows users to modify reporter output, and support for JavaScript configuration files with the .cjs extension.

New reporter hook

The onBeforeWrite hook allows you to modify the output of a reporter.

If you want your test reports to include custom content, you can create a custom reporter from scratch. However, this approach takes time and effort. Use the onBeforeWrite hook if you want to make minor changes to the output of an existing reporter.

Define an onBeforeWrite hook in a JavaScript configuration file. The following hook adds the duration in milliseconds to every test entry in the report:

//.testcaferc.js or .testcaferc.cjs
function onBeforeWriteHook(writeInfo) { // This function will fire every time the reporter calls the "write" method.
    if (writeInfo.initiator === 'reportTestDone') { // The "initiator" property contains the name of the reporter event that triggered the hook.
         const {
            name,
            testRunInfo,
            meta
        } = writeInfo.data || {}; // If you attached this hook to a compatible reporter (such as "spec" or "list"), the hook can process data related to the event.
        const testDuration = testRunInfo.durationMs; // Save the duration of the test.
        writeInfo.formattedText = writeInfo.formattedText + ' (' + testDuration + 'ms)'; // Add test duration to the reporter output.
    };
}

module.exports = { // Attach the hook
    hooks: {
        reporter: {
            onBeforeWrite: {
                'spec': onBeforeWriteHook, // This hook will fire when you use the default "spec" reporter.
            },
        },
    },
};

CJS support

If you run TestCafe v2.6.0 and higher, you can now use a configuration file with the .cjs file extension. TestCafe detects the .testcaferc.cjs file on startup, alongside its .js and .json counterparts.

TestCafe configuration files only support CommonJS syntax. Meanwhile, modern JavaScript tools often default to ESM syntax. If a JavaScript project is of type module, Node.js expects the project's .js files to contain ESM syntax.

Use the .cjs configuration file extension to let Node.js know that the file contains CommonJS syntax.

Many thanks to the TestCafe contributor Damien Guérin (@​gigaga) for the implementation of this capability.

Bug fixes

• If you call the t.skipJsErrors method without arguments, TestCafe passes a false value to the method. This behavior is inconsistent with similar methods of a greater scope --- test.skipJsErrors and fixture.skipJsErrors (#​7648).
• Users cannot disable the "quarantine mode" or "skipJsErrors" settings from the command line (#​7077).
• TestCafe incorrectly processes exceptions of types other than Error (#​7627).
• TestCafe does not consistently execute the t.pressKey action in Mozilla Firefox. Attempts to press the "backspace" key and the "tab" key, among others, may fail. (#​7623)
• When TestCafe runs in Native Automation mode, it incorrectly executes some instances of the t.request method. (#​7609)
• The TestCafe proxy incorrectly processes private class properties in client-side scripts, which leads to page load failure (#​7632, PR by @​sorin-davidoi).

v2.5.0

Compare Source

TestCafe v2.5.0 introduces three major enhancements:

• The new t.report method passes custom data to the test reporter.
• The new --native-automation flag enables TestCafe to automate all Chromium-based browsers with the native CDP protocol.
• The new --esm flag allows users to import ESM modules in test files.

t.report

Include the t.report() method in your test to pass custom data to the reporter.

Specify arguments of any type (string, array, Object, etc). Separate arguments with a comma:

await
    t.report( 
        'text', 
        {'key': 'value'},
        ['arrayItem1', 'arrayItem2']
    );

The default spec reporter displays custom data after test completion, once for each browser that runs the test.

CDP Automation: Now Stable

TestCafe v2.2.0 introduced an experimental proxyless mode that automated Google Chrome with the native CDP protocol.

For the v2.5.0 release, the TestCafe team addressed most issues that our users discovered when the capability was "experimental", and gave it a new name --- Native Automation mode.

Unlike its predecessor, the Native Automation mode supports all Chromium-based browsers, including Microsoft Edge. Enable the nativeAutomation option in the command line interface, the configuration file, or the runner.run() function to try this capability.

[!IMPORTANT]
TestCafe v2.5.0 removed the experimentalProxyless option from the createTestCafe function. Use the runner.run() function to enable Native Automation mode from the TestCafe Test Runner API.

ESM Module Support: Now Stable

TestCafe v2.5.0 drops the experimental prefix from the --esm CLI flag. Enable the --esm flag to import modules that do not support CommonJS.

testcafe chrome test.js --esm

v2.4.0

Compare Source

TestCafe v2.6.1 retires Experimental Debug mode, and introduces a number of important bug fixes.

Removed: Experimental debug mode

TestCafe v1.18.0 introduced Experimental Debug mode --- a way to debug Selectors and Client Functions in the text editor. TestCafe v2.4.0 shipped with the Visual Selector Debugger, which allows users to troubleshoot Selector queries directly in the browser.

The two capabilities serve the same purpose, but the Visual Selector Debugger is more user-friendly. As such, beginning with TestCafe v2.6.1, the framework no longer includes Experimental Debug mode. Thank you to all the TestCafe users who tried out the capability.
