Testing Cordova Apps with Appium (button.js)

button.js

// tests/spec/button.js
// Note that when tests are run by webdriver.io, `browser` is a global object.

// "describe" is a wrapper used to group related tests. It makes the output from the
// test reporter much easier to read through.
describe('Toggle Button', () => {
	// As the name suggests, this runs before each test. It is a good place to set
	// up common settings.
	beforeEach(() => {
		// Wait up to 5 seconds for commands to work
		browser.timeouts('implicit', 5000);
	});

	// It is important that we run each test in isolation. The running of a previous test
	// should not affect the next one. Otherwise, it could end up being very difficult to
	// track down what is causing a test to fail.
	afterEach(() => {
		browser.reload();
	});

	it('should hide the text box', () => {
		// All of wdio's commands are synchronous, which means we can write them simply
		// one after another.
		browser.click('#showHideButton');
		expect(browser.isVisible('#textBox')).toBe(false);
	});

	// "it" represents one test. It is best not to try to test too much inside one "it",
	// as it can make it difficult to track down the mistake if the test fails.
	it('should show the box by default', () => {
		// "expect" is the way to tell Jasmine what you are really trying to test.
		// If the expect function fails, your test will fail, and it will tell you why.
		expect(browser.isVisible('#textBox')).toBe(true);
	});
