I currently have nightwatch.js setup using the vue automated setup. That template is located here.



https://github.com/vuejs-templates/webpack/tree/master/template/test/e2e



Is it possible to run nightwatch assertions through the command line in a REPL like fashion that is available in webdriver.io? Here is a reference to the webdriver feature https://twitter.com/webdriverio/status/806911722682544128





Update, we have moved to using Cypress.io It has made us pretty happy

  • i actually went with testcafe.js as nightwatch.js unfortunately does not come close to what i expect from an e2e testing tool...

  • @phoet we moved to webdriver.io Still haven't found anything in the JS world that is up to same level as rails.

You can use nightwatch-repl package available on NPM.



https://www.npmjs.com/package/nightwatch-repl



// nightwatch.conf.js

var repl = require('nightwatch-repl');

module.exports = (function (settings) {
repl.init(settings);
...
...
return settings;
})(require('./nightwatch.json'));


Once you run your tests and invoke browser.repl()



you should see the following in your console



Running:  Login to dashboard

Type in a command (eg: browser.function()) or type "quit" to exit
repl>
