This module downloads the GalenFramework for you
Warning - Galen framework requires Java runtime environment to work. Java is not included in this module.
In the project directory run:
npm install --save-dev grunt-galenframeworkThen add it to the Gruntfile:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-galenframework');Galen testing requires three components to run through your tests:
- Project URL address. (
http://127.0.0.1/counts, of course) - Galen testing
.specfiles. (read more) - Target devices / display resolutions.
You might find these articles helpful during the preparations:
grunt-galenframework exposes a useful gl.js module1, so you can spend more time improving your project, rather than writing the test files.
Test files' main role is to assign .spec files to their target pages of the project. For example example-test.test.js can look like this:
load ('../gl.js');
forAll(config.getDevices(), function (device) {
// Just like unit test's `it( ... )`
test('Example on ' + device.deviceName, function () {
gl.openPage(device, config.getProjectPage());
gl.runSpecFile(device, './test/example-test.spec');
});
});This test suite runs the example-test.spec file against the main project page.
Remember that you are not bound to the gl.js framework and, if you are familiar with vanilla Galen API, you are welcome to use it with grunt-galenframework. (more on Galen javascript API)
1 Full gl.js docs can be found along with task configuration reference at the bottom of this README.
Example configuration for a simple Galen task:
galen: {
local: {
// Check all test.js files in the test directory
src: ['test/**/*.test.js'],
options: {
// Run test on the localhost:3000
url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000',
devices: {
// Run tests in firefox browser, scaled to basic desktop resolution
desktop: {
deviceName: 'desktop',
browser: 'firefox',
size: '1280x800'
},
// Also run them in firefox, but scaled to iPad screen size
tablet: {
deviceName: 'tablet',
browser: 'firefox',
size: '768x576'
}
}
}
}
}Now just run the command grunt galen:local and enjoy the show!
Combine all galen test files into one to speed up the testing process.
Warning - Do not enable this if you wish to know the number of passed/failed tests. If enabled, number of tests will always be 1.
default: false
Object containing basic information about the project.
default: undefined
URL of the project. This URL is prioritized over options.url.
default: http://127.0.0.1:80
Name of the project. Can be used in test files via getProjectName().
default: Project
URL of the project.
Overriden by the options.project.url, if defined.
Project URL is not necessary, although it is passed to test files via configuration and can be easily read in every test suite via getProjectPage() and getProjectSubpage(subpage).
default: http://127.0.0.1:80
Object containing device definitions for tests. Each device has to have at least three parameters defined in Galen docs:
deviceName,browserandsize. (read more)
If you wish to use grunt-galen with Selenium Grid (especially SauceLabs), you may also want to define
desiredCapabilitesfor each device. (read more) (drag-and-drop device configurator)
Warning - All desired capabilities ought to be strings. Therefore tags' arrays, boolean values and numbers have to be cast to strings in the Gruntfile.
default: {}
required: true
Set to
true, if you want to use a config file.
default: false
Set to desired config file.
default: ''
Set to
true, if you wish Galen to generate HTML report for every test suite.
default: false
Set to desired HTML report directory.
default: ''
Set to
true, if you wish Galen to generate JSON report for every test suite.
default: false
Set to desired JSON report directory.
default: ''
Set to
true, if you wish Galen to generate testNG report for every test suite.
default: false
Set to
true, if you wish Galen to generate JUnit report for every test suite.
default: false
Set to desired JUnit report directory.
default: ''
Set to desired testNG report directory.

URL address of your Selenium Grid.
Overrides options.seleniumGrid.username and options.seleniumGrid.accessKey. (Either is assumed to be contained in the url or not necessary to access the Selenium Grid)
default: undefined
(Only for SauceLabs) SauceLabs username.
default: undefined
(Only for SauceLabs) SauceLabs login. This most of the time should have the very same value as
username, unless you use separate accounts across your team.

gl.js is a wrapper for some Galen JavaScript functionality, aimed on making testing easier, faster and more intuitive.
To use gl.js in your test file, you have to load gl.js library. gl.js is created on runtime in your options.cwd directory, so, for example, if your tests are placed under test/ and you haven't modified the options.cwd, you should load ../gl.js in your test suite.
When included, gl.js exposes its public interface to the test file in the global scope.
Main functional interface. Implements several useful functions to speed up your tests.
gl.openPage ([Object] device, [String] url [, [String] url, [Object] primaryFields, [Object] secondaryFields])
Open target page in the browser on a target device. If page times out, test will be failed.
If pageElements is defined, Galen will attemp to fetch these elements from the webpage.
device* - a device specification
url - a target webpage url (see also config.getProjectPage() and config.getProjectSubpage())
primaryFields - a collection of selectors for elements needed in tests (galen docs)
Run a test file on the target device, on the current webpage. This is what Galen is for, after all.
device* - a device specification
file - a path to the .test.js file
tags - a collection of optional Galen tags for the test
Terminate all devices and finish testing immediately.
Remove all elements, fetched from the current webpage, from the cache storage.
Retrieve devices list for tests. Compatible with Galen #forAll().
Retrieve project name. ('Project', if undefined)
Return main project URL.
Return main project URL with appended subpage suffix.
Get Selenium Grid configuration. Exposes two values:
enabled- Selenium Grid enabled flag
url- Selenium Grid url.
Example projects are presented in the example/ directory. It is sufficient you go into the directory and run npm install && grunt to test any of the examples there.
Grunt galen has its testing script npm test, which launches an example on a current version of the script (does not load a script from NPM, uses tasks/galen.js instead).
Example includes both local and remote testing.
