Development

Once you are up and running with the installation of Chaskiq on development ( check <a href="https://dev.chaskiq.io/getting-started">getting started articles</a> ) you will be able to run the application on development.<h2 class="graf graf--h3">Setup test environment</h2>In order to run the tests you will need to create the proper connections to the database and install the application dependencies, so let&#x27;s do that.<h3 class="graf graf--h4">Install dependencies</h3>(make sure you are inside the chaskiq folder)cd chaskiq bundle install<h3 class="graf graf--h4">Create database &amp; load structure</h3>bundle exec rails db:schema:loadNow you are ready to run the test suite. note that there are unit tests for the application that are pure <a href="https://rspec.info/">Rspec tests</a> for models, API, controllers &amp; services.

Also, you can run this test suite as a headless process with won&#x27;t require the Cypress panel with the following command yarn cypress runSo that&#x27;s it, happy testing!

Once you are up and running with the installation of Chaskiq on development ( check getting started articles

 ) you will be able to run the application on development.

In order to run the tests you will need to create the proper connections to the database and install the application dependencies, so let's do that.

(make sure you are inside the chaskiq folder)

Now you are ready to run the test suite. note that there are unit tests for the application that are pure Rspec tests

 for models, API, controllers & services. And there are integration (or end to end) tests implemented with Cypress

 which tests complete use cases from users's behavior on the UI's using automated Chrome.

The following will run all the tests excluding the End to end Cypress tests

if you want to test only the model's files you would run this:  bundle exec rspec ./spec/models or files in controllers bundle exec rspec ./spec/controllers 

you can find all the documentation of Rspec on Rspec's site

To run End to End specs with Cypress you will need a couple more additional steps, nothing crazy though, remember that we are running on rails.

If you have not already done so, install the js dependencies with the yarn command

Step 2: Run the rails server on port 5002 with a test flag

In order for Cypress to interact with Chaskiq app, you will need to run the application on port 5002 but tell it that you are going to use the test environment with the following command

Last step you will need to run the cypress client with the following command

This command will open the Cypress panel where you can manually run specific specs or the entire suite. 

Also, you can run this test suite as a headless process with won't require the Cypress panel with the following command

Once you are up and running with the installation of Chaskiq on development ( check getting started articles ) you will be able to run the application on development.

Now you are ready to run the test suite. note that there are unit tests for the application that are pure Rspec tests for models, API, controllers & services.
