Setting up env

Development has been performed within a virtual python environment, isolating impact and dependencies from the host system.

1. clone the repo
2. run python3 -m venv venv to create a virtual env
3. run source venv/bin/activate to activate the virtual env
4. run pip install ./requirements.txt to install all python dependencies

Running tests

• pytest -> cli output only, runs on 1 headless browser
• pytest --html=report.html --self-contained-html -> generate html report
• pytest --tracing on -> run with tracing to view test step breakdown and logs during execution
• pytest --headed --browser webkit --browser firefox --browser chromium -> runs headed on all browsers
• append --video on to the run command to capture video recordings of each test

Wrapping up

Run deactivate in your cli tab running this repo to exit the venv.
