Quality Assurance and Testing with Chai - Simulate Actions Using a Headless Browser

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
I thought that I followed the instructions exactly.

  1. Immediately after the Browser declaration, I added my specific site.
  2. At the root level of the functional tests suite, I instantiated a new instance of the Browser object.
  3. And I’m using the suiteSetup hook only once at the beginning of the test suite.

Why can’t I pass the test? My code is below. Does anybody know why?

const Browser = require('zombie');
Browser.site = 'https://boilerplate-mochachai.technoaudrey.repl.co';


suite('Functional Tests with Zombie.js', function () {
  this.timeout(5000);
  const browser = new Browser();

   suiteSetup(function(done) {
  return browser.visit('/', done);
});

I had similar problems when I was working on this last year. There is some issue which I don’t understand about replit and zombie working together (or rather not working).

In the end, the solution was to run the tests locally.

Here’s a forum thread which eventually resolved my issues:

Try changing your url for Browser.site to ‘http://localhost:3000/’ (or whatever port your server is running on).

That one simple change makes all of my tests pass (on repl).

Thank you so much for sending that. I’ll try your suggestion.

I’m completely shocked and slightly confused that this fixed my problem. Thank you.
