The version 1.5 was just released with the following major features:
The complete list of implemented features is on GitHub
Support for PhantomJS browser
From now on you can run your Galen tests in a headless WebKit-based browser PhantomJS
You can use it in a standard test suites:
Home page on PhantomJS browser
selenium phantomjs http://example.com 1024x768
check homepage.spec
Or in JavaScript tests:
var driver = createDriver("http://example.com",
"1024x768",
"phantomjs");
checkLayout(driver, "homepage.spec");
Test retry event handler
In case you have unstable test environment and some of the tests in your test suite are failing from time to time, you can try solving this issue with testRetry event. You can define it in a JavaScript file but it works for both tests: standard and JavaScript-based.
In the test retry event callback you can have access to the test instance and also you get the number of test executions as a second argument. Therefore you can apply the retry event only for a specific test and a specific number of times.
testRetry(function (test, retryCount) {
if (test.name == "Home page test"
&& retryCount < 2) {
return true;
}
else return false;
});
Or you can just have a global retry event for all tests:
testRetry(function (test, retryCount) {
return retryCount < 3;
});
Frame support
For a long time in Galen Framework there was no support for frames in HTML document. From this version we have added support for frames via component spec. In case you want to have access to elements inside frame – you should test them as a separate component:
========================
banner-frame css iframe#banner
========================
banner-frame
component frame: banner.spec
