QR code and shake function

anon27121582 2018-04-29 23:33:33 UTC #1

Hey all. So I want to try and create two tests in testcafe with different functions.

First, I want to run a test that will scan for QR codes. For example, I want it to be able to run a few steps first, before being told to scan for a QR code.

Next, I want to do a test that simulates a shake function. For example, I want t run a few steps first, before the test environment simulates the shaking of a mobile to continue the test.

Thanks

Hi @MiguelB
You can use third-party packages to generate QR-codes as described in the following thread:

Runner - How to generate QR-Code by running 'Runner.js' file

Does this solution meet your requirements?

It does not, unfortunately. I have tried that. I am looking for a way to test a pre existing QR code. FOr what I am doing, a RNG one will not do the trick.

From what I gather, you have a mobile app that reacts to device shaking. If so, TestCafe does not provide the capability to test this scenario. Nevertheless, you can try the following approach:

Add client code to emulate device orientation events using document.createEvent/document.dispatchEvent.
If you wish to read QR code in real time via the WebRTC interface, you need to re-define the WebRTC functions and output data (e.g. with qrcode-terminal). If the code image is loaded manually, you can try using t.upload to load generated code.
