# arkXtest User Guide


## Overview

arkXtest is an automated test framework that consists of JsUnit and UiTest.<br>JsUnit is a unit test framework that provides basic APIs for compiling test cases and generating test reports for testing system and application APIs.<br>UiTest is a UI test framework that provides the UI component search and operation capabilities through simple and easy-to-use APIs, and allows you to develop automated test scripts based on GUI operations.<br>This document will help to familiarize you with arkXtest, describing its main functions, implementation principles, environment setup, and test script compilation and execution. In addition, the shell commands are provided for the following features: obtaining screenshots, component trees, recording user operations, and conveniently injecting UI simulation operations, which facilitates testing and verification.

## Implementation

arkXtest is divided into two parts: unit test framework and UI test framework.<br>As the backbone of arkXtest, the unit test framework offers such features as identifying, scheduling, and executing test scripts, as well as summarizing test script execution results.<br>The UI test framework provides UiTest APIs for you to call in different test scenarios. Its test scripts are executed on top of the unit test framework.

## Compile and Execute Tests Based on ArkTS

### Setting Up the Environment

[Download DevEco Studio](https://developer.harmonyos.com/cn/develop/deveco-studio#download) and set it up as instructed on the official website.

### Creating and Compiling a Test Script

#### Creating a Test Script

<!--RP2-->
1. Open DevEco Studio and create a project, in which the **ohos** directory is where the test script is located.

2. Open the .ets file of the module to be tested in the project directory. Move the cursor to any position in the code, and then right-click and choose **Show Context Actions** > **Create Ohos Test** or press **Alt+Enter** and choose **Create Ohos Test** to create a test class. For more details, see [DevEco Studio User Guide](https://developer.harmonyos.com/en/docs/documentation/doc-guides-V3/harmonyos_jnit_jsunit-0000001092459608-V3?catalogVersion=V3#section13366184061415).

<!--RP2End-->

#### Writing a Unit Test Script

This section describes how to use the unit test framework to write a unit test script. For details about the functionality of the unit test framework, see [arkXtest](https://gitee.com/openharmony/testfwk_arkxtest/blob/master/README_en.md).

The unit test script must contain the following basic elements:

1. Import of the dependencies so that the dependent test APIs can be used.

2. Test code, mainly about the related logic, such as API invoking.

3. Invoking of the assertion APIs and setting of checkpoints. If there is no checkpoint, the test script is considered as incomplete.

The following sample code is used to start the test page to check whether the page displayed on the device is the expected page.

```ts
import { describe, it, expect } from '@ohos/hypium';
import { abilityDelegatorRegistry } from '@kit.TestKit';
import { UIAbility, Want } from '@kit.AbilityKit';

const delegator = abilityDelegatorRegistry.getAbilityDelegator()
const bundleName = abilityDelegatorRegistry.getArguments().bundleName;
function sleep(time: number) {
  return new Promise<void>((resolve: Function) => setTimeout(resolve, time));
}
export default function abilityTest() {
  describe('ActsAbilityTest', () =>{
    it('testUiExample',0, async (done: Function) => {
      console.info("uitest: TestUiExample begin");
      //start tested ability
      const want: Want = {
        bundleName: bundleName,
        abilityName: 'EntryAbility'
      }
      await delegator.startAbility(want);
      await sleep(1000);
      // Check the top display ability.
      const ability: UIAbility = await delegator.getCurrentTopAbility();
      console.info("get top ability");
      expect(ability.context.abilityInfo.name).assertEqual('EntryAbility');
      done();
    })
  })
}
```

#### Writing a UI Test Script

 <br>To write a UI test script to complete the corresponding test activities, simply add the invoking of the UiTest API to a unit test script. <!--RP1-->For details about the available APIs, see [@ohos.UiTest](..reference/apis-test-kit/js-apis-uitest.md).<!--RP1End--><br>In this example, the UI test script is written based on the preceding unit test script. It implements the click operation on the started application page and checks whether the page changes as expected.

1. Write the demo code in the **index.ets**file.

  ```ts
  @Entry
  @Component
  struct Index {
    @State message: string = 'Hello World'

    build() {
      Row() {
        Column() {
          Text(this.message)
            .fontSize(50)
            .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
          Text("Next")
            .fontSize(50)
            .margin({top:20})
            .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
          Text("after click")
            .fontSize(50)
            .margin({top:20})
            .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
        }
        .width('100%')
      }
      .height('100%')
    }
  }
  ```

2. Write test code in the .test.ets file under **ohosTest** > **ets** > **test**.

  ```ts
  import { describe, it, expect } from '@ohos/hypium';
  // Import the test dependencies.
  import { abilityDelegatorRegistry, Driver, ON } from '@kit.TestKit';
  import { UIAbility, Want } from '@kit.AbilityKit';

  const delegator: abilityDelegatorRegistry.AbilityDelegator = abilityDelegatorRegistry.getAbilityDelegator()
  const bundleName = abilityDelegatorRegistry.getArguments().bundleName;
  function sleep(time: number) {
    return new Promise<void>((resolve: Function) => setTimeout(resolve, time));
  }
  export default function abilityTest() {
    describe('ActsAbilityTest', () => {
       it('testUiExample',0, async (done: Function) => {
          console.info("uitest: TestUiExample begin");
          //start tested ability
          const want: Want = {
             bundleName: bundleName,
             abilityName: 'EntryAbility'
          }
          await delegator.startAbility(want);
          await sleep(1000);
          // Check the top display ability.
          const ability: UIAbility = await delegator.getCurrentTopAbility();
          console.info("get top ability");
          expect(ability.context.abilityInfo.name).assertEqual('EntryAbility');
          // UI test code
          // Initialize the driver.
          const driver = Driver.create();
          await driver.delayMs(1000);
          // Find the button on text 'Next'.
          const button = await driver.findComponent(ON.text('Next'));
          // Click the button.
          await button.click();
          await driver.delayMs(1000);
          // Check text.
          await driver.assertComponentExist(ON.text('after click'));
          await driver.pressBack();
          done();
       })
    })
  }
  ```

### Running the Test Script

#### In DevEco Studio

To execute the script, you need to connect to a hardware device. You can run a test script in DevEco Studio in any of the following modes:

1. Test package level: All test cases in the test package are executed.

2. Test suite level: All test cases defined in the **describe** method are executed.

3. Test method level: The specified **it** method, that is, a single test case, is executed.

![](figures/Execute.PNG)

**Viewing the Test Result**

After the test is complete, you can view the test result in DevEco Studio, as shown in the following figure.

![](figures/TestResult.PNG)

**Viewing the Test Case Coverage**

After the test is complete, you can view the test coverage. For details, see the coverage statistics modes in [Code Test](https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/cn/doc/harmonyos-guides-V5/ide-code-test-V5).

#### In the CMD

To run the script, you need to connect to a hardware device, install the application test package on the test device, and run the **aa** command in the cmd window.

> **NOTE**

```

### Example of Obtaining the Component Tree

```bash
hdc shell uitest dumpLayout -p /data/local/tmp/1.json
```

### Recording User Operations
>**NOTE**

> During the recording, you should perform the next operation after the recognition result of the current operation is displayed in the command line.

```bash
# Record the operations on the current page to **/data/local/tmp/record.csv**. To stop the recording, press **Ctrl+C**.
hdc shell uitest uiRecord record
# Read and print record data.
hdc shell uitest uiRecord read
```

## FAQs

### FAQs About Unit Test Cases

1. The logs in the test case are printed after the test case result

**Problem**

The logs added to the test case are displayed after the test case execution, rather than during the test case execution.

**Possible Causes**

More than one asynchronous API is called in the test case.<br>In principle, logs in the test case are printed before the test case execution is complete.

**Solutions**

If more than one asynchronous API is called, you are advised to encapsulate the API invoking into the promise mode.

**Error "fail to start ability" is reported during test case execution**

**Problem**

When a test case is executed, the console returns the error message "fail to start ability".

**Possible Causes**

An error occurs during the packaging of the test package, and the test framework dependency file is not included in the test package.

**Solutions**

Check whether the test package contains the **OpenHarmonyTestRunner.abc** file. If the file does not exist, rebuild and pack the file and perform the test again.

Test case execution timeout

**Problem**

After the test case execution is complete, the console displays the error message "execute time XXms", indicating that the case execution times out.

**Possible Causes**

1. The test case is executed through an asynchronous interface, but the **done** function is not executed during the execution. As a result, the test case execution does not end until it times out.

2. The time taken for API invocation is longer than the timeout interval set for test case execution.

3. Test assertion fails, and a failure exception is thrown. As a result, the test case execution does not end until it times out.

**Solutions**

1. Check the code logic of the test case to ensure that the **done** function is executed even if the assertion fails.

2. Modify the case execution timeout settings under **Run/Debug Configurations** in DevEco Studio.

3. Check the code logic and assertion result of the test case and make sure that the assertion is passed.
### FAQs About UI Test Cases

**The failure log contains "Get windows failed/GetRootByWindow failed"**

**Problem**

The UI test case fails to be executed. The HiLog file contains the error message "Get windows failed/GetRootByWindow failed."

**Possible Causes**

The ArkUI feature is disabled. As a result, the component tree information is not generated on the test page.

**Solutions**

Run the following command, restart the device, and execute the test case again:

```shell
hdc shell param set persist.ace.testmode.enabled 1
```

**The failure log contains "uitest-api does not allow calling concurrently"**

**Problem**

The UI test case fails to be executed. The HiLog file contains the error message "uitest-api does not allow calling concurrently."

**Possible Causes**

1. In the test case, the **await** operator is not added to the asynchronous API provided by the UI test framework.

2. The UI test case is executed in multiple processes. As a result, multiple UI test processes are started. The framework does not support multi-process invoking.

**Solutions**

1. Check the case implementation and add the **await** operator to the asynchronous API.

2. Do not execute UI test cases in multiple processes.

The failure log contains "does not exist on current UI! Check if the UI has changed after you got the widget object".

**Problem**

The UI test case fails to be executed. The HiLog file contains the error message "does not exist on current UI! Check if the UI has changed after you got the widget object."

**Possible Causes**

After the target component is found in the code of the test case, the device UI changes, resulting in loss of the found component and inability to perform emulation.

**Solutions**

Run the UI test case again.
