The e2e test script now accepts a `--retry-until-failure` flag that can
be useful for locally reproducing intermittent failures.
Normally the `retries` option will only retry upon failure. But if
you want the test to fail to inspect the failure state, you want it to
keep running until the first failure then stop. This flag accomplishes
that, reversing the retry conditions.
Use DesktopManager in background script to redirect internal and external connections to the desktop app.
Include DesktopController in the MetaMask controller.
Support desktop keyrings in MetaMask controller via the overrides object.
Create middleware handler to connect to the desktop app while UI code is pending.
Add build system support for desktop specific configuration variables.
A `debug` flag has been added to our e2e test runner scripts, enabling
e2e debug logs. When this flag is enabled, all driver interactions will
be logged to the console. This is extremely useful when debugging e2e
tests, because it lets you known how far the test had progressed before
failing.
This flag should work with all existing e2e test scripts, including
both `test:e2e:single` and all of the test commands that run entire
test suites.
The README has been updated to reference this flag in the section
regarding how to run a single e2e test. To ensure this wasn't totally
missed for the other scripts, I added a line suggesting that users use
`--help` to see all supported options.
The npm scripts used to run Mocha scripts have been greatly simplified.
As we transition more tests from Mocha to Jest it was becoming
increasingly difficult to update the CLI arguments to keep all of these
scripts working correctly. This reorganization should make that process
much simpler.
The base Mocha options are in `.mocharc.js` - all except for the target
tests to run. Those are still given via the CLI. There is a second
config file specifically for the `test:unit:lax` tests (i.e. the Mocha
tests that have no coverage requirements) because it requires a change
to the `ignored` configuration property. We can create an additional
configuration file for each test script we add that needs further
configuration changes.
The `test:unit:path` script used to be used to run Mocha tests at a
given path. Now that can be done using `yarn mocha` instead, so this
script has been removed.
The `yarn watch` command has been broken for some time now, so it has
been removed as well. Mocha tests can still be run with a file watcher
using `yarn mocha --watch <path>` or `yarn test:unit:mocha --watch`.
The README has been updated to remove references about the `watch`
command that was removed. I considered explaining the other test
scripts there as well, but they were difficult to explain I will
attempt to update the README after making further simplifications
instead.
There are a few issues encountered when running `yarn setup` on new
Apple Silicon (aka M1, aka arm64) Macs:
* The script halts when attempting to run the install step for
the `chromedriver` package with the message "Only Mac 64 bits
supported". This is somewhat misleading as it seems to indicate that
chromedriver can only be installed on a 64-bit Mac. However, what I
think is happening is that the installation script for `chromedriver`
is not able to detect that an arm64 CPU *is* a 64-bit CPU. After
looking through the `chromedriver` repo, it appears that 87.0.1 is the
first version that adds a proper check ([1]).
Note that upgrading chromedriver caused the Chrome-specific tests to
fail intermittently on CI. I was not able to 100% work out the reason
for this, but ensuring that X (which provides a way for Chrome to run
in a GUI setting from the command line) is available seems to fix
these issues.
* The script also halts when attempting to run the install step for
the `electron` package. This happens because for the version of
`electron` we are using (9.4.2), there is no available binary for
arm64. It appears that Electron 11.x was the first version to support
arm64 Macs ([2]). This is a bit trickier to resolve because we don't
explicitly rely on `electron` — that's brought in by `react-devtools`.
The first version of `react-devtools` that relies on `electron` 11.x
is 4.11.0 ([3]).

* Add `--leave-running` flag to E2E test script
The `--leave-running` flag has been added to the E2E test runner. This
ensures the browser, ganache, and everything else stays running upon
test failure. This is useful for local debugging, for investigating
what state the extension was in when it failed.
* Add `--leave-running` support to `metamask-ui.spec.js`
This script makes it easier to run an individual E2E test. In the past
I've run individual scripts by editing `run-all.sh` manually, but now
that can be done more easily with this script. It also allows setting
the number of retries to use and the browser to use from the CLI.
This script has been added as an npm script as well, called
'test:e2e:single'.
The `run-all.sh` script was rewritten in JavaScript to make it easier
to pass through a `--retries` argument.
The default number of retries has been set to zero to make local
testing easier. It has been set to 2 on CI.
This was mainly done to consolidate the code used to run an E2E test in
one place, to make later improvements easier.
