README
1 This file contains high-level info about how to use password manager tests and
2 how to create new ones.
3
4 The password manager tests purpose is to allow automatic password manager
5 checking and avoiding to do so manually.
6 The tests are written in python using selenium Webdriver library.

9 =====Getting started=====
10
11 Build ChromeDriver by building the 'chromedriver' target. This will
12 create an executable binary in the build folder named 'chromedriver[.exe]'.
13
14 Build chrome too by building the 'chrome' target. This will
15 create an executable binary in the build folder named 'chrome[.exe]'.
16
17 Install Selenium (the version tested was 2.41.0):
18 pip install -U selenium
19
20
21 For security reasons, we didn't publish the passwords and the usernames we
22 used to test. So we put them to an xml file (websites.xml). The structure of
23 the file is the following:
24 <websites>
25 <website name = "website name">
26 <username>username</username>
27 <password>password</password>
28 </website>
29 <websites>
30 You can ask someone to give you the websites.xml file and put it in the same
31 folder as the tests. You can also create your own websites.xml with your
32 personal accounts.
33 WARNING: All the content of the PROFILEPATH is going to be deleted.
34 Show the help:
35 python tests.py --help
36 Run all the working tests tests by executing:
37 python tests.py --chrome-path CHROMEPATH --chromedriver-path CHROMEDRIVERPATH
38 --profile-path PROFILEPATH [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
39
40 Run all the tests by executing:
41 python tests.py --all --chrome-path CHROMEPATH --chromedriver-path
42 CHROMEDRIVERPATH --profile-path PROFILEPATH [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
43
44 Run one or many tests by executing:
45 python tests.py google --chrome-path CHROMEPATH --chromedriver-path
46 CHROMEDRIVERPATH profile-path PROFILEPATH [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
47
48 python tests.py google facebook --chrome-path CHROMEPATH --chromedriver-path
49 CHROMEDRIVERPATH --profile-path PROFILEPATH [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
50
51 python tests.py google facebook amazon --chrome-path CHROMEPATH
52 --chromedriver-path CHROMEDRIVERPATH --profile-path PROFILEPATH
53 [--passwords_path PASSWORDSPATH]
54
55 To display the debugging messages on the screen, use:
56 python tests.py --log DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR|CRITICAL --log-screen
57 To save debugging messages into a file, use:
58 python tests.py --log DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR|CRITICAL --log-file LOG_FILE
59
60 To save the result of the tests as an xml file, use:
61 python tests.py --save-path SAVERESULTPATH
62
63 =====Creating new test=====
64
65 1) Open tests.py.
66
67 2) Add tests like this:
68
69 class NewWebsiteTest(WebsiteTest):
70
71 def Login(self):
72 # Add login steps for the website, for example:
73 self.GoTo("http://url")
74 self.FillUsernameInto("Username CSS selector")
75 self.FillPasswordInto("Password CSS selector")
76 self.Submit("Password CSS selector")
77
78 def Logout(self):
79 # Add logout steps for the website, for example:
80 self.Click("Logout button CSS selector")
81
82 Then, to create the new test, you need just to add:
83
84 environment.AddWebsiteTest(NewWebsiteTest("website name"))
85
86 * For security reasons, passwords and usernames need to be supplied in a
87 separate XML file and never checked in to the repository. The XML file should
88 contain data structured like this:
89
90 <website name = "website name">
91 <username>username</username>
92 <password>password</password>
93 </website>
94
95 The "website name" is only used to find the username and password in the xml
96 file.
97
98
99 Use the flowing methods to perform the login and logout:
100 The methods that you can use are:
101
102 * Click: find an element using CSS Selector and click on it. Throw an
103 exception if the element is not visible.
104 self.Click("css_selector")
105 * ClickIfClickable: find an element using CSS Selector and click on it if it's
106 possible to do that.
107 self.ClickIfClickable("css_selector")
108 * GoTo: navigate the main frame to a url.
109 self.GoTo("url")
110 * HoverOver: find an element using CSS Selector and hover over it.
111 self.HoverOver("css_selector")
112 * SendEnterTo: find an element using CSS Selector and send enter to it.
113 self.SendEnterTo("css_selector")
114
115 * IsDisplayed: check if an element is displayed.
116 self.IsDisplayed("css_selector")
117 * Wait: wait for some amount of time in seconds.
118 self.Wait(10)
119 * WaitUntilDisplayed: wait for an element defined using CSS Selector to be
120 displayed.
121 self.WaitUntilDisplayed("css_selector")
122
123 * FillPasswordInto: find an input element using CSS Selector and fill it with
124 the password.
125 self.FillPasswordInto("css_selector")
126 * FillUsernameInto: find an input element using CSS Selector and fill it with
127 the username.
128 self.FillUsernameInto("css_selector")
129 * Submit: find an element using CSS Selector and call its submit() handler.
130 self.Submit("css_selector")
131
132
133 =====Files structure=====
134
135 Classes:
136 * environment.py: the definition the tests Environment.
137 * websitetest.py: WebsiteTest is defined here. You need to create an instance
138 of this class for each website you want to test.
139
140 Tests:
141 * tests.py: the tests setup and the configuration for each website happens
142 here. This file contain 3 separate kinds of tests:
143
144 1) working tests: tests that are supposed to work. If you have a problem with
145 one of them, rerun it again. Or try using the Known Issues section to fix it.
146 2) tests that can cause a crash (the cause of the crash is not related to the
147 password manager): This means that this set is expected to become a working
148 test or failing test when the issue that causes the crash now is solved.
149 3) failing tests: tests that fail for known bug related to the password
150 manager. When this bug is solved, all the tests that were failing because of
151 it are going to be moved to working tests.
152
153 Other files:
154 * websites.xml : a private file where you can find all the passwords. You can
155 ask someone to give it to you or just create your own with your personal
156 accounts.
157 <websites>
158 <website name = "website name">
159 <username>username</username>
160 <password>password</password>
161 </website>
162 </websites>
163
164
165 =====Known Issues=====
166
167 The tests are very fragile. Here are some suggestions for solving most of the
168 problems:
169 * Restart the tests.
170 * Remove the profile if the tests fail at the beginning for unknown reason.
171 * If tests fail, isolate the one that causes problem, read debugging messages
172 and keep your eyes on the browser window to understand its causes:
173 a) In the tests, we often need to wait for a menu to appear ... If the
174 menu takes more time to appear than expected, the tests are going to fail.
175 b) The websites change very often. And even if they are not changed, they some
176 time show a popup that broke the tests. In the case you need to login manually
177 to the website, close all popup and logout.
178 * If you are logged in when the tests crashes, don't forget to log out before
179 running the tests a second time.
