Electron app manual testing checklist

Because Spectron can't handle dialogs, we have to resort to manually testing some parts of Electron version of our IDE.

Loading projects

General idea

Ways to load a new project into IDE:

• just create one(file->new)
• open a built-in project using xod:// url
• file->open
• from recent items(Windows and macOS only)
• by opening from file manager
  • when IDE is not launched yet
  • while IDE is running
    • on Windows it should create a new window, on a mac stuff happens in the same(!) window

While...

• having unsaved changes
• NOT having unsaved changes

Criteria:

• if current project has unsaved changes, user should be prompted to save them
  • if he cancels saving process at any(!) point(initial prompt or location selection), he should return to exactly the same state as before(project, lastSavedProject, projectPath, window title)
    • do not add to recent items(?)
• if there are no unsaved changes, requested action should just happen without interruptions

Test scenarios

• make some changes

• for each of "Ways to load a new project...": // "cancel"

  • execute it
  • make sure that the confirm dialog appeared
  • press "cancel"
  • make sure that
    • the opened project is in the same state
    • window title has not changed

  // cancel file dialog

  • execute it again
  • make sure that the confirm dialog appeared(the IDE still knows we have unsaved changes)
  • press "save"
  • !!! in some cases the file dialog should appear. press "cancel"
  • make sure that
    • the opened project is in the same state
    • window title has not changed
  • repeat it to make sure that the IDE still knows we have unsaved changes, press "cancel"

  // discard

  // save
