Running the end-to-end tests on Windows

Windows is not the best platform to run the tests on, but if you have to, enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and start following these steps to get going:

  1. Navigate to your working directory (cd /mnt/c/users/travisr/whatever/matrix-react-sdk for example).
  2. Run sudo apt-get install unzip python3 virtualenv dos2unix
  3. Run dos2unix ./test/end-to-end-tests/*.sh ./test/end-to-end-tests/synapse/*.sh ./test/end-to-end-tests/riot/*.sh
  4. Install NodeJS for ubuntu:
    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install nodejs
    
  5. Start Riot on Windows through yarn start
  6. While that builds... Run:
    sudo apt-get install x11-apps
    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
    sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
    sudo apt -f install
    
  7. Run:
    cd ./test/end-to-end-tests
    ./synapse/install.sh
    ./run.sh --riot-url http://localhost:8080 --no-sandbox
    

Note that using yarn test:e2e probably won't work for you. You might also have to use the config.json from the riot/config-template directory in order to actually succeed at the tests.

Also note that you'll have to use --no-sandbox otherwise Chrome will complain that there's no sandbox available. You could probably fix this with enough effort, or you could run a headless Chrome in the WSL container without a sandbox.
