Integration tests for stimulus-reflex about stimulus_reflex HOT 6 CLOSED

Cypress definitely makes End-to-End testing easier, but I think we would be better off using tools that 1. already a part of the Rails ecosystem, and 2. are not reliant on a paid service.

I think pre-defined System tests in rails are the better way to go

AFAIK @hopsoft started setting up a testrigor suite that runs against expo.stimulusreflex.com.

Still, integration tests would be good to have, but it would require setting up a dummy rails app and setting up CI for system tests, which is altogether quite large a task.

If anyone would set up a test/dummy app in a PR, that would be a good start though - what do you think @hopsoft , @leastbad , @andrewmcodes ?

@jonathan-s Whoops! I think our issues (mine: #164 ) are a little too closely related; I guess I should have read through yours instead of just assuming it was about a specific tool you are using playing nicely with this library. Would you mind removing cypress.io from the title, to allow for tool agnostic suggestions? cypress.io should be a suggested way to do it, not the feature of the issue here; which is really about making tests easier for end users.

I'll close #164 in favor of this one to keep the discussion here.

Just to show how things would look like using cypress.io

This is the folder structure that cypress.io initializes
https://github.com/jonathan-s/django-sockpuppet/tree/master/cypress

and you'll find a simple test here:
https://github.com/jonathan-s/django-sockpuppet/blob/master/cypress/integration/websocket_spec.js

That test tests that the increment example in the quickstart works as expected.

That seems like a valid option as well. Though I'd like to note that cypress is paid to an even lesser degree than say travis that we all use and love.

Ultimately, I think the one who starts making this has more decision power than me :) (because I don't know enough ruby to make some parts that are required).

At this point, running the integration tests on the Expo project is the primary vehicle for testing SR. I know that there are some JS tests making their way into the framework as well.

Finally and perhaps most importantly, see https://github.com/podia/stimulus_reflex_testing for tools to test SR-enabled apps.
