React Native Firebase - Testing Project

Our tests are powered by Jet ✈️.

Note

: instructions in this file assume you're running terminal commands from the root of the project and not from inside the tests directory.

Requirements

• Make sure you have Xcode installed (tested with Xcode 10+).

• Make sure you have Node.js installed (version 8.4.0 and above is required).

• Make sure you have all required dependencies installed:

  • Apple Sim Utils:

    brew tap wix/brew
    brew install wix/brew/applesimutils
    

Note

: If Homebrew complains about a conflict in the wix/brew tap, run brew untap wix/brew && brew tap wix/brew and try installing again

Cleaning dependencies

You might find yourself in a situation where you want to start from a clean slate. The following will delete all node_modules and project build folders.

yarn lerna:clean
yarn build:all:clean

---

Step 1: Install test project dependencies

yarn
yarn tests:ios:pod:install

---

Step 2: Start Packager Script

Start the React Native packager using the script provided;

yarn tests:packager:jet

⚠️ It must be this script only that starts the RN Packager, using the default RN packager command will not work.

⚠️ Also ensure that all existing packagers are terminated and that you have no React Native debugger tabs open on your browsers.

This packager will automatically rebuild on any JS changes to the library code. You don't need to restart this, leave it running whilst developing.

---

Step 3: Build Native App

As always; the first build for each platform will take a while. Subsequent builds are much quicker ⚡️

⚠️ You must rebuild native every time you make changes to native code (anything in /android /iOS directories).

Android

yarn tests:android:build

iOS

yarn tests:ios:build

---

Step 4: Setting up android emulator and iOS simulator

To run android tests you will need to create a new emulator and name it TestingAVD (You can't rename existing one). This emulator will need to be up and running before you start your android tests from Step 5.

With iOS Detox will start a simulator for you by default or run tests in an open one.

---

Step 5: Finally, run the tests

This action will launch a new simulator (if not already open) and run the tests on it.

💡 iOS by default will background launch the simulator - to have it launch in the foreground make sure any simulator is currently open, Finder -> Simulator.app.

💡 Android by default looks for a predefined emulator named TestingAVD - make sure you have one named the same setup on Android Studio. Or you can change this name in the package.json of the tests project (don't commit the change though please). DO NOT rename an existing AVD to this name - it will not work, rename does not change the file path currently so Detox will fail to find the AVD in the correct directory. Create a new one with Google Play Services.

Android

yarn tests:android:test

iOS

yarn tests:ios:test

The tests:${platform}:test commands uninstall any existing app and installs a fresh copy. You can run tests:${platform}:test-reuse instead if you don't need to re-install the app (i.e only making JS code changes). Just remember to use test-${platform} if you made native code changes and rebuilt - after installing once you can go back to using the reuse variant.

The tests:${platform}:cover variant of the yarn scripts will additionally run tests with coverage. Coverage is output to the root directory of the project: react-native-firebase/coverage, open react-native-firebase/coverage/lcov-report/index.html in your browser after running tests to view detailed coverage output.

---

Running specific tests

Mocha supports the .only syntax, e.g. instead of describe(...) || it(...) you can use describe.only(...) || it.only(...) to only run that specific context or test.

Another way to do this is via adding a --grep option to e2e/mocha.opts file, e.g. --grep auth for all tests that have auth in the file path or tests descriptions.

💡 Don't forget to remove these before committing your code and submitting a pull request

Linting & type checking files

Runs ESLint and respective type checks on project files

yarn validate:all:js
yarn validate:all:ts
