TestCafe v0.20.0 Release Notes

  • ✅ Request Hooks: Intercepting HTTP requests (#1341)

    TestCafe now allows you to record HTTP request data or mock responses. You can also create a custom HTTP request hook to emulate authentications like Kerberos or Client Certificate Authentication.

    📚 See Intercepting HTTP Requests for more information.

    ✨ Enhancements

    ✅ :gear: Specifying resources accessed by bypassing a proxy server (#1791)

    ✅ TestCafe now allows you to bypass the proxy server when accessing specific resources.

    📚 To specify resources that require direct access, use the --proxy-bypass flag in the command line or the useProxy API method's parameters.

    testcafe chrome my-tests/**/*.js --proxy proxy.corp.mycompany.com --proxy-bypass localhost:8080,internal-resource.corp.mycompany.com

    runner.useProxy('172.0.10.10:8080', ['localhost:8080', 'internal-resource.corp.mycompany.com']);

    📇 :gear: Specifying testing metadata (#2242)

    📇 TestCafe allows you to specify additional information for tests in the form of key-value metadata and use it in reports.

    📚 You can define metadata for a fixture or a test using the meta method:

    fixture `My Fixture`
    .meta('fixtureID', 'f-0001')
    .meta({ author: 'John', creationDate: '05/03/2018' });

    test
    .meta('testID', 't-0005')
    .meta({ severity: 'critical', testedAPIVersion: '1.0' })
    ('MyTest', async t => { /* ... */});

    📚 To include testing metadata to reports, use the custom reporter methods.

    ✅ :gear: Passing a regular promise to t.expect is deprecated now (#2207)

    ✅ TestCafe now throws an error if you pass a regular promise to the assertion's expect method.

    📚 If you need to assert a regular promise, set the allowUnawaitedPromise option to true.

    await t.expect(doSomethingAsync()).ok('check that a promise is returned', { allowUnawaitedPromise: true });
