Actual tests

[shakeelmohamed]

The next tests need to be sending many different URL forms & user behaviors validating the JS object player which represents the YouTube player object that gets embedded and determine if the video is playing, also lots of error checking tests.

TODO:

• Verify sponsor me images (good link, proper alt text, correct dimensions, etc.)
• Verify TrackJS token is loaded
• Verify JS dependencies are loaded correctly
  • jquery, youtube iframe API, TrackJS
  • google analytics/keen
• Functional tests, ie: simulating user behavior
• coverage for If searching with a string containing &, the right side will be ignored #146

Once upon a time, using Zombie's browser.evaluate("player") would be useful, but there's a race condition where sometimes the player object isn't ready yet.

I've tried:

• Zombie's browser.wait with a timeout as high as 10 seconds
• setTimeout with a high timeout

No solution in sight, so test work is pretty much blocked by this issue

It seems like both browser.evaluate() and browser.assert.global() aren't working correctly. The tests will probably just need to look at the DOM for now

I think the only way past this blocker is to change to Zombie 4.x, thus forcing us to use Node.js 0.12+ which is pretty reasonable now that they're over 5.x

Updating Zombie to 4.x and Node.js to 4.x solves these problems!!!! 🎉

Now comes the hard part... writing tests

[shakeelmohamed]

I believe these tests will all need to be rewritten using Browserstack... stay tuned 🕙
