  { files: [new Blob(['Ember Rules!'])] }
);

Using triggerEvent to upload a dropped file

    }
  }
)

Returns Promise<void> resolves when the application is settled

triggerKeyEvent

Triggers a keyboard event of given type in the target element. It also requires the developer to provide either a string with the key or the numeric keyCode of the pressed key. Optionally the user can also provide a POJO with extra modifiers for the event.

Parameters

  • target (string | Element | IDOMElementDescriptor) the element, selector, or descriptor to trigger the event on

  • eventType ("keydown" | "keyup" | "keypress") the type of event to trigger

  • key (number | string) the keyCode(number) or key(string) of the event being triggered

  • modifiers Object? the state of various modifier keys (optional, default DEFAULT_MODIFIERS)

    • modifiers.ctrlKey boolean if true the generated event will indicate the control key was pressed during the key event (optional, default false)
    • modifiers.altKey boolean if true the generated event will indicate the alt key was pressed during the key event (optional, default false)
    • modifiers.shiftKey boolean if true the generated event will indicate the shift key was pressed during the key event (optional, default false)
    • modifiers.metaKey boolean if true the generated event will indicate the meta key was pressed during the key event (optional, default false)

Examples

Emulating pressing the ENTER key on a button using triggerKeyEvent

triggerKeyEvent('button', 'keydown', 'Enter');

Returns Promise<void> resolves when the application is settled unless awaitSettled is false

typeIn

Mimics character by character entry into the target input or textarea element.

Allows for simulation of slow entry by passing an optional millisecond delay between key events.

The major difference between typeIn and fillIn is that typeIn triggers keyboard events as well as input and change. Typically this looks like focus -> focusin -> keydown -> keypress -> keyup -> input -> change per character of the passed text (this may vary on some browsers).

Parameters

  • target (string | Element | IDOMElementDescriptor) the element, selector, or descriptor to enter text into
  • text string the test to fill the element with
  • options Object {delay: x} (default 50) number of milliseconds to wait per keypress (optional, default {})

Examples

Emulating typing in an input using typeIn

typeIn('input', 'hello world');

Returns Promise<void> resolves when the application is settled

DOM Query Helpers

find

Find the first element matched by the given selector. Equivalent to calling querySelector() on the test root element.

Parameters

  • selector string the selector to search for

Examples

Finding the first element with id 'foo'

find('#foo');

Returns (Element | null) matched element or null

findAll

Find all elements matched by the given selector. Similar to calling querySelectorAll() on the test root element, but returns an array instead of a NodeList.

Parameters

  • selector string the selector to search for

Examples

Find all of the elements matching '.my-selector'.

findAll('.my-selector');

Returns Array array of matched elements

getRootElement

Get the root element of the application under test (usually #ember-testing)

Examples

Getting the root element of the application and checking that it is equal to the element with id 'ember-testing'.

assert.equal(getRootElement(), document.querySelector('#ember-testing'));

Returns Element the root element

Routing Helpers

visit

Navigate the application to the provided URL.

Parameters

  • url string The URL to visit (e.g. /posts)
  • options object app boot options

Examples

Visiting the route for post 1.

await visit('/posts/1');

Visiting the route for post 1 while also providing the rootElement app boot option.

await visit('/', { rootElement: '#container' });

Returns Promise<void> resolves when settled

currentRouteName

Returns string the currently active route name

currentURL

Returns string the applications current url

Rendering Helpers

render

Renders the provided template and appends it to the DOM.

Parameters

  • templateFactoryOrComponent (Template | Component) the component (or template) to render
  • options RenderOptions options hash containing engine owner ({ owner: engineOwner })

Examples

Render a div element with the class 'container'.

await render(hbs`<div class="container"></div>`);

Returns Promise<void> resolves when settled

clearRender

Clears any templates previously rendered. This is commonly used for confirming behavior that is triggered by teardown (e.g. willDestroyElement).

Returns Promise<void> resolves when settled

Wait Helpers

waitFor

Used to wait for a particular selector to appear in the DOM. Due to the fact that it does not wait for general settledness, this is quite useful for testing interim DOM states (e.g. loading states, pending promises, etc).

Parameters

  • target (string | IDOMElementDescriptor) the selector or DOM element descriptor to wait for

  • options Object? the options to be used (optional, default {})

    • options.timeout number the time to wait (in ms) for a match (optional, default 1000)
    • options.count number the number of elements that should match the provided selector (null means one or more) (optional, default null)

Examples

Waiting until a selector is rendered:

await waitFor('.my-selector', { timeout: 2000 })

Returns Promise<(Element | Array<Element>)> resolves when the element(s) appear on the page

waitUntil

Wait for the provided callback to return a truthy value.

This does not leverage settled(), and as such can be used to manage async while not settled (e.g. "loading" or "pending" states).

Parameters

  • callback Function the callback to use for testing when waiting should stop

  • options Object? options used to override defaults (optional, default {})

    • options.timeout number the maximum amount of time to wait (optional, default 1000)
    • options.timeoutMessage string the message to use in the reject on timeout (optional, default 'waitUntil timed out')

Examples

Waiting until a selected element displays text:

await waitUntil(function() {
return find('.my-selector').textContent.includes('something')
}, { timeout: 2000 })

Returns Promise resolves with the callback value when it returns a truthy value

settled

Returns a promise that resolves when in a settled state (see isSettled for a definition of "settled state").

Returns Promise<void> resolves when settled

isSettled

Checks various settledness metrics (via getSettledState()) to determine if things are settled or not.

Settled generally means that there are no pending timers, no pending waiters, no pending AJAX requests, and no current run loop. However, new settledness metrics may be added and used as they become available.

Returns boolean true if settled, false otherwise

getSettledState

Check various settledness metrics, and return an object with the following properties:

  • hasRunLoop - Checks if a run-loop has been started. If it has, this will be true otherwise it will be false.
  • hasPendingTimers - Checks if there are scheduled timers in the run-loop. These pending timers are primarily registered by Ember.run.schedule. If there are pending timers, this will be true, otherwise false.
  • hasPendingWaiters - Checks if any registered test waiters are still pending (e.g. the waiter returns true). If there are pending waiters, this will be true, otherwise false.
  • hasPendingRequests - Checks if there are pending AJAX requests (based on ajaxSend / ajaxComplete events triggered by jQuery.ajax). If there are pending requests, this will be true, otherwise false.
  • hasPendingTransitions - Checks if there are pending route transitions. If the router has not been instantiated / setup for the test yet this will return null, if there are pending transitions, this will be true, otherwise false.
  • pendingRequestCount - The count of pending AJAX requests.
  • debugInfo - Debug information that's combined with info return from backburner's getDebugInfo method.
  • isRenderPending - Checks if there are any pending render operations. This will be true as long as there are tracked values in the template that have not been rerendered yet.

Returns Object object with properties for each of the metrics used to determine settledness

Pause Helpers

pauseTest

Returns a promise to be used to pauses the current test (due to being returned from the test itself). This is useful for debugging while testing or for test-driving. It allows you to inspect the state of your application at any point.

The test framework wrapper (e.g. ember-qunit or ember-mocha) should ensure that when pauseTest() is used, any framework specific test timeouts are disabled.

Examples

Usage via ember-qunit

import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
import { render, click, pauseTest } from '@ember/test-helpers';


module('awesome-sauce', function(hooks) {
  setupRenderingTest(hooks);

  test('does something awesome', async function(assert) {
    await render(hbs`{{awesome-sauce}}`);

    // added here to visualize / interact with the DOM prior
    // to the interaction below
    await pauseTest();

    click('.some-selector');

    assert.equal(this.element.textContent, 'this sauce is awesome!');
  });
});

Returns Promise<void> resolves only when resumeTest() is invoked

resumeTest

Resumes a test previously paused by await pauseTest().

Debug Helpers

getDebugInfo

Retrieves debug information from backburner's current deferred actions queue (runloop instance). If the getDebugInfo method isn't available, it returns null.

Returns (MaybeDebugInfo | null) Backburner debugInfo or, if the getDebugInfo method is not present, null

registerDebugInfoHelper

Registers a custom debug info helper to augment the output for test isolation validation.

Parameters

  • debugHelper DebugInfoHelper a custom debug info helper

Examples

import { registerDebugInfoHelper } from '@ember/test-helpers';

registerDebugInfoHelper({
  name: 'Date override detection',
  log() {
    if (dateIsOverridden()) {
      console.log(this.name);
      console.log('The date object has been overridden');
    }
  }
})

Test Framework APIs

setResolver

Stores the provided resolver instance so that tests being ran can resolve objects in the same way as a normal application.

Used by setupContext and setupRenderingContext as a fallback when setApplication was not used.

Parameters

  • resolver Ember.Resolver the resolver to be used for testing

getResolver

Retrieve the resolver instance stored by setResolver.

Returns Ember.Resolver the previously stored resolver

setupContext

Used by test framework addons to setup the provided context for testing.

Responsible for:

  • sets the "global testing context" to the provided context (setContext)
  • create an owner object and set it on the provided context (e.g. this.owner)
  • setup this.set, this.setProperties, this.get, and this.getProperties to the provided context
  • setting up AJAX listeners
  • setting up pauseTest (also available as this.pauseTest()) and resumeTest helpers

Parameters

  • base Object the context to setup

  • options Object? options used to override defaults (optional, default {})

    • options.resolver Resolver? a resolver to use for customizing normal resolution

Returns Promise<Object> resolves with the context that was setup

getContext

Retrieve the "global testing context" as stored by setContext.

Returns Object the previously stored testing context

setContext

Stores the provided context as the "global testing context".

Generally setup automatically by setupContext.

Parameters

  • context Object the context to use

unsetContext

Clear the "global testing context".

Generally invoked from teardownContext.

teardownContext

Used by test framework addons to tear down the provided context after testing is completed.

Responsible for:

  • un-setting the "global testing context" (unsetContext)
  • destroy the contexts owner object
  • remove AJAX listeners

Parameters

  • context Object the context to setup

  • options Object? options used to override defaults (optional, default {})

    • options.waitForSettled boolean should the teardown wait for settled()ness (optional, default true)

Returns Promise<void> resolves when settled

setupRenderingContext

Used by test framework addons to setup the provided context for rendering.

setupContext must have been ran on the provided context prior to calling setupRenderingContext.

Responsible for:

  • Setup the basic framework used for rendering by the render helper.
  • Ensuring the event dispatcher is properly setup.
  • Setting this.element to the root element of the testing container (things rendered via render will go into this element).

Parameters

  • context TestContext the context to setup for rendering

Examples

Rendering out a paragraph element containing the content 'hello', and then clearing that content via clearRender.

await render(hbs`<p>Hello!</p>`);
assert.equal(this.element.textContent, 'Hello!', 'has rendered content');
await clearRender();
assert.equal(this.element.textContent, '', 'has rendered content');

Returns Promise<RenderingTestContext> resolves with the context that was setup

getApplication

Retrieve the application instance stored by setApplication.

Returns Ember.Application the previously stored application instance under test

setApplication

Stores the provided application instance so that tests being ran will be aware of the application under test.

  • Required by setupApplicationContext method.
  • Used by setupContext and setupRenderingContext when present.

Parameters

  • application Ember.Application the application that will be tested

setupApplicationContext

Used by test framework addons to setup the provided context for working with an application (e.g. routing).

setupContext must have been run on the provided context prior to calling setupApplicationContext.

Sets up the basic framework used by application tests.

Parameters

  • context Object the context to setup

Returns Promise<void> resolves when the context is set up

validateErrorHandler

Validate the provided error handler to confirm that it properly re-throws errors when Ember.testing is true.

This is intended to be used by test framework hosts (or other libraries) to ensure that Ember.onerror is properly configured. Without a check like this, Ember.onerror could easily swallow all errors and make it seem like everything is just fine (and have green tests) when in reality everything is on fire...

Parameters

  • callback Function the callback to validate (optional, default Ember.onerror)

Examples

Example implementation for ember-qunit

import { validateErrorHandler } from '@ember/test-helpers';

test('Ember.onerror is functioning properly', function(assert) {
  let result = validateErrorHandler();
  assert.ok(result.isValid, result.message);
});

Returns Object object with isValid and message

setupOnerror

Sets the Ember.onerror function for tests. This value is intended to be reset after each test to ensure correct test isolation. To reset, you should simply call setupOnerror without an onError argument.

Parameters

  • onError Function the onError function to be set on Ember.onerror

Examples

Example implementation for ember-qunit or ember-mocha

import { setupOnerror } from '@ember/test-helpers';

test('Ember.onerror is stubbed properly', function(assert) {
  setupOnerror(function(err) {
    assert.ok(err);
  });
});

resetOnerror

Resets Ember.onerror to the value it originally was at the start of the test run. If there is no context or cached value this is a no-op.

Examples

import { resetOnerror } from '@ember/test-helpers';

QUnit.testDone(function() {
  resetOnerror();
})

getTestMetadata

Gets the test metadata associated with the provided test context. Will create a new test metadata object if one does not exist.

Parameters

  • context BaseContext the context to use

Returns TestMetadata the test metadata for the provided context

rerender

Returns a promise which will resolve when rendering has completed. In this context, rendering is completed when all auto-tracked state that is consumed in the template (including any tracked state in models, services, etc. that are then used in a template) has been updated in the DOM.

For example, in a test you might want to update some tracked state and then run some assertions after rendering has completed. You could use await settled() in that location, but in some contexts you don't want to wait for full settledness (which includes test waiters, pending AJAX/fetch, run loops, etc) but instead only want to know when that updated value has been rendered in the DOM. THAT is what await rerender() is perfect for.

Returns Promise<void> a promise which fulfills when rendering has completed

registerHook

Registers a function to be run during the invocation of a test helper.

Parameters

  • helperName string The name of the test helper in which to run the hook. Test helper names include blur, click, doubleClick, fillIn, fireEvent, focus, render, scrollTo, select, tab, tap, triggerEvent, triggerKeyEvent, typeIn, and visit.
  • label string A label to help identify the hook. Built-in labels include start, end, and targetFound, the former designating either the start or end of the helper invocation.
  • hook Function The hook function to run when the test helper is invoked.

Examples

Registering a hook for the end point of the click test helper invocation

const hook = registerHook('click', 'end', () => {
  console.log('Running `click:end` test helper hook');
});

// Unregister the hook at some later point in time
hook.unregister();

Returns HookUnregister An object containing an unregister function that unregisters the specific hook initially registered to the helper.

runHooks

Runs all hooks registered for a specific test helper.

Parameters

  • helperName string The name of the test helper in which to run the hook. Test helper names include blur, click, doubleClick, fillIn, fireEvent, focus, render, scrollTo, select, tab, tap, triggerEvent, triggerKeyEvent, typeIn, and visit.
  • label string A label to help identify the hook. Built-in labels include start, end, and targetFound, the former designating either the start or end of the helper invocation.
  • args Array<unknown> Any arguments originally passed to the test helper.

Returns Promise<void> A promise representing the serial invocation of the hooks.

getDeprecations

Returns deprecations which have occurred so far for a the current test context

Examples
