Running a test

In this guide, we'll cover just the basics to run a test using the UIlicious CLI.
To learn more, read the docsopen in new window on the UIlicious CLI Github repository.

Use the project run command to run a test:

uilicious-cli project run <project_name> <test_file_path> [--browser] [--width] [--height] --key <access_key>

The command expects a few arguments:

  • <project_name> : The name of the project
  • <test_file_path> : The path to the test that you want to run
  • --browser <browser_name> : The browser to run the test on. The available options are:
    • chrome - Chrome browser
    • firefox - Firefox browser
    • safari - MacOS Safari browser
    • edgechromium - Edge Chromium browser
    • edge - Legacy Edge browser (uses Microsoft EdgeHTML instead of Google Chromium)
    • ie11 - Internet Explorer 11
  • --width <browser_width> : The initial width of the browser window to set to, in pixels
  • --height <browser_height> : The initial height of the browser window to set to, in pixels
  • --key <access_key> : Login using an access key

Here's an example:

uilicious-cli project run "MyStore" "auth/loginAsBuyer" --browser chrome --width 1280 --height 800 --key <access_key>

This will run the "auth/loginAsBuyer" test in the "MyStore" project on Chrome with the browser window set to the 1280x800 resolution.

There are more options available to configure test runs. To show the manual for the project run command, type:

uilicious-cli project run --help
