Repository for my upcoming course & workshop

Learn Browser Testing

End to end testing and browser automation.

Quick start

Please use Node v14.4.0 or above.

npm install

Then, cd into any directory and run:

npm start

Node modules

The dependencies (node_modules) for this project can come to many hundreds of megabytes. Rather than you having to run npm install each time you cd into a new folder (and download gigabytes of node_modules scattered across the various folders in this repo), you just need to do it once at the root level.

Windows users

If npm start works for you (try one of the cypress, or just examples), then continue with that - you don't need to change anything. Otherwise, run this to fix the error:

npm install -g yarn

Now, instead of running npm start, run:

yarn start

learn-browser-testing's Issues

Puppeteer didn't work for me on Windows

I have node 14.8-0 installed via nvm on Windows10 with WSL1.
I installed yarn after calling npm start didn't work. The outcome wasn't better.
Be it npm or yarn, the call results mainly with the same errors:

reject(new Error([
                   ^

Error: Failed to launch the browser process!

npx may not be the solution in Win10

I have node 14.8-0 installed via nvm on Windows10 with WSL1.
Strangely npx didn't work. AND: it downloaded puppeteer once more from the internet, not the node_modules.

Did I do something wrong?

npm scripts for windows

Any other ideas are welcome! https://twitter.com/umaar/status/1295098457116508160
