Matrix React Web App End-to-End tests

This repository contains tests for the matrix-react-sdk web app. The tests fire up a headless chrome and simulate user interaction (end-to-end). Note that end-to-end has little to do with the end-to-end encryption matrix supports, just that we test the full stack, going from user interaction to expected DOM in the browser.

Current tests

• test riot loads (check title)
• signup with custom homeserver

Roadmap

• get rid of jest, as a test framework won't be helpful to have a continuous flow going from one use case to another (think: do login, create a room, invite a user, ...). a test framework usually assumes the tests are semi-indepedent.
• better error reporting (show console.log, XHR requests, partial DOM, screenshot) on error
• cleanup helper methods
• add more css id's/classes to riot web to make css selectors in test less brittle.
• avoid delay when waiting for location.hash to change
• more tests!
• setup installing & running riot and synapse as part of the tests.
  • Run 2 synapse instances to test federation use cases.
  • start synapse with clean config/database on every test run
• look into CI(Travis) integration
