# End-to-end tests

This directory contains the fixture data used to bootstrap the individual e2e tests. Each sub-directory contains
one thing:

1. A `state.json` file that represents a the saved state for the extension (see _Generating fixture data_ below)

## Generating fixture data

Fixture data can be generated by loading the unpacked extension, inspecting the background context,
dumping `chrome.storage.local`, and using [`copy`][1] to copy it to the clipboard, and manually pasting the contents into
a file on disk.

```js
// Step 1:
chrome.storage.local.get(null, (x) => console.log(x))
// Should print something like:
// > temp1
// > {data: {…}, meta: {…}}

// Step 2:
// Store the value as a global via the 'Store as global variable' option in context menu (shown below)

// Step 3:
copy(temp1)
```

Store the value as a global variable:
