Selenium/Getting Started/Run tests using Fresh

Environments

When using Fresh, you can target several wikis.

• a local MediaWiki
  • MediaWiki-Docker
  • MediaWiki-Docker-Dev
  • MediaWiki-Vagrant
• a remote wiki
  • Beta cluster

Advantages

• It will be fast, if the target is local. MediaWiki core Selenium test run takes about 2 minutes on my machine. (As of October 2019.)
• Works without an internet connection, if the target is local.
• Doesn't require installing Vagrant.
• Doesn't require executing npm packages directly on your machine (which is dangerous).

Disadvantages

• You need to have Docker installed.

Prerequisites

• MediaWiki.
• Docker. See Docker CE for Linux, Docker for Mac, or Docker for Windows.
• Wikimedia Fresh CLI.

Go to MediaWiki Core folder

cd core

Environment variables

If you're targeting MediaWiki-Docker, you don't have to do anything. If you're targeting another setup, see Selenium/How-to/Set environment variables.
