The browser version you want to use in tests must be installed on your system. Requires `testcafe` package to be installed. npm i testcafe --save-dev ## Configuration This helper should be configured in codecept.json or codecept.conf.js - `url`: base url of website to be tested - `show`: - show browser window. - `windowSize`: (optional) - set browser window width and height - `getPageTimeout` config option to set maximum navigation time in milliseconds. - `waitForTimeout`: (optional) default wait* timeout in ms. Default: 5000. - `browser`: - See [https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/common-concepts/browsers/browser-support.html][2] #### Example #1: Show chrome browser window ```js { helpers: { TestCafe : { url: "http://localhost", waitForTimeout: 15000, show: true, browser: "chrome" } } } ``` To use remote device you can provide 'remote' as browser parameter this will display a link with QR Code See [https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/recipes/test-on-remote-computers-and-mobile-devices.html][3] #### Example #2: Remote browser connection ```js { helpers: { TestCafe : { url: "http://localhost", waitForTimeout: 15000, browser: "remote" } } } ``` ## Access From Helpers Call Testcafe methods directly using the testcafe controller. ```js const testcafeTestController = this.helpers['TestCafe'].t; const comboBox = Selector('.combo-box'); await testcafeTestController .hover(comboBox) // hover over combo box .click('#i-prefer-both') // click some other element ``` ## Methods ### Parameters - `config` ### _locate Get elements by different locator types, including strict locator Should be used in custom helpers: ```js const elements = await this.helpers['TestCafe']._locate('.item'); ``` #### Parameters - `locator` ### amOnPage Opens a web page in a browser.
