Creating a Test Runner with NodeJS + Express

You can create a customized web app for running SeleniumBase tests by using NodeJS and Express. (This tutorial assumes that you've already installed SeleniumBase.

0. Clone SeleniumBase from GitHub

• You'll need to work with the files located in the integrations/node_js folder.

1. Install NodeJS (if not installed)

• Navigate to https://nodejs.org/en/
• Click to download and install NodeJS

2. Upgrade NodeJS (if using an older version)

npm install -g npm@latest

3. Install the example Test Runner for SeleniumBase from integrations/node_js. (If dependencies were already installed, you can use npm ci for a speed improvement over npm i / npm install because npm ci uses npm-shrinkwrap.json, which is generated via npm shrinkwrap.)

npm install

(You should see a node_modules folder appear in your node_js folder.)

4. Run the NodeJS server for your SeleniumBase Test Runner web app

node server.js

(You can stop the server by using Ctrl+C)

5. Open the SeleniumBase Test Runner web app

• Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000/

6. Run an example test

Click on a button to run a SeleniumBase example test.

7. Expand your web app

Now that you have a web app for running SeleniumBase tests, you can expand it to run any script that you want after pressing a button.
