Welcome to Plum!

Plum makes setting up your testing framework easy. In just a few seconds, you can run the scaffold tests and write your own tests!

By combining Playwright and Cucumber, tests are easy to write and read. The code follows a POM (Page Object Model) structure, making it scalable and easy for developers to understand, while Cucumber test cases are written in Gherkin format, making them accessible to non-developers as well.

You can view, run, and schedule tests in a simple UI. You can even view the history of your runs in the reports page!

Pre-requisite:

1. Install Docker and ensure the Docker daemon is running.

For Users

People that want to use Plum as a test environment for their website.

I. How to Run:

1. npm install -g plum-e2e
2. Create your project directory. Example: mkdir my-test-folder
3. Go inside the folder you created cd my-test-folder
4. Run plum init
   1. This will initialize Plum and will create your base files:
      1. \tests folder: This include sample test cases for SauceLabs
      2. .env file: Your starting .env file. You can set the BASE_URL to your own site after you're done with the scaffold tests.
5. There are two ways to start testing:
   1. By running the server. Run: plum start to start the server
      1. Access the UI at: http://localhost:5173/
   2. Without running the server. Recommended while you're writing your tests. Run: plum dev <@test-id>. If no test ID is included, it will run all tests

Basic Structure

After you run plum init, these files will be created inside your project directory.

Tutorial

2. An easy way to learn is to check the scaffold files starting from the Feature files -> Step Definitions -> Page files and utils/world.ts for the CustomWorld initialization. Those are the main files you need to write a test case.
