I'm using testCafe for my functional test.
My project used a lot of XHR request and I don't want to waste my time to generate each single mock.
Exists an automocker like this: https://github.com/scottschafer/cypressautomocker for testcafe?
TestCafe does not provide the described functionality out of the box. However, you can use the combination of RequestLogger and RequestMock
The idea is in that you can create a JSON file with request results at the first run using the RequestLogger.
Then, based on results of the first run, you can configure your RequestMock object to respond with the results from the file for all consequent requests.

I am writing UI automation script using karate DSL. In this at certain point I need to get value from network call in chrome. I want to interact with one of the webservice call in chrome devtools network tab and get the json response of that webservice.
I need this because I have to extract the value from that particular call and pass it on to the next step in my automation script.
I have seen the question related to sessionStorage(Is there a way of getting a sessionStorage using Karate DSL?) but I wonder how to do the same for network call using script command or any other way?
The first thing I would recommend is don't forget that Karate is an API testing tool at its core. Maybe all you need to do is manually make that call and get the response. You should be able to scrape the HTML and get the host and parameters needed.
That said - there's a new feature (only for Chrome) which is documented here: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/develop/karate-core#intercepting-http-requests - and is available in 0.9.6.RC2
It may not directly solve for what you want, but in a Karate mock, you should be able to set a value for use later e.g. by using a Java singleton or writing to a temp-file.
If there is something oddly more specific you need, please contribute code to Karate. Finally, there is an experimental way in which you can actually make raw requests to the Chrome DevTools session: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/develop/examples/ui-test#devtools-protocol-tips - it is for advanced users, but maybe you are one :)
I'm using OWASP ZAP as a proxy tool for testing mobile applications.
What I'm trying to do is make a breakpoint on some URL, and return custom response to test applications UI or functionality.
Currently, whenever breakpoint is triggered, I have to manually let request pass, and then change the response and let that one pass in order to see the change in the app. And when I have to do it multiple times, it's not really convenient.
Is it possible to make a breakpoint on a URL that will return some predefined response every time it is triggered?
If it's not possible, are you aware of any other tool that is?
Yes you can do that, but not with breakpoints - they are manual only.
Instead you can either use either :
Replacer
Scripts
The replacer is easier to set up but more restricted while scripts can do absolutely anything. There are example scripts for replacing scripts in response headers and bodies.
I want to generate tests on the fly by getting the json including array of data from an API indicating what should I do in each test and how many tests I need to do.
I tried to put the fetch part in "beforeAll" but anyway it is not working because jest wants all tests (it) at execution time.
I'm learning about the case for asynchronous module definition (AMD) from here but am not quite clear about the below:
It is tempting to use XMLHttpRequest (XHR) to load the scripts. If XHR
is used, then we can massage the text above -- we can do a regexp to
find require() calls, make sure we load those scripts, then use eval()
or script elements that have their body text set to the text of the
script loaded via XHR.
XHR is using ajax or something to make a call to grab a resource from the database, correct? What does the eval() or script elements have to do with this? An example would be very helpful
That part of RequireJS' documentation is explaining why using XHR rather than doing what RequireJS does is problematic.
XHR is using ajax or something to make a call to grab a resource from the database, correct?
XHR is what allows you to make an Ajax call. jQuery's $.ajax for instance creates an XHR instance for you and uses it to perform the query. How the server responds depends on how the server is designed. Most of the servers I've developed won't use a database to answer a request made to a URL that corresponds to a JavaScript file. The file is just read from the file system and sent back to the client.
What does the eval() or script elements have to do with this?
Once the request is over, what you have is a string that contains JavaScript. You've fetched the code of your module but presumably you also want to execute it. eval is one way to do it but it has the disadvantages mentioned in the documentation. Another way to do it would be to create a script element whose body is the code you've fetched, and then insert this script in the DOM but this also has issues, as explained in the documentation you refer to.
Is there a way to bypass UI for those actions which need to be performed before and (or) after the test? Is it possible to send simple GET or POST requests to the same test session instead of writing the script in the test?
For example, I want to write a test which checks if the record can be deleted. To do that, first of all I need to create the record. It doesn't seem to be a good choice to do it through the UI since it is not part of the test itself.
It really depends on the application under test. You probably don't want to go making SQL calls to your database to create these records, unless you really know what you're doing. Even then, it will make your test automation break when that record changes.
Perhaps your application under test provides an API which will allow you to create a target record. That would be ideal, allowing you to make an API request then all you have to do in the UI is navigate to where the "user" would delete it.
You can do pretty much everything by executing some Javascript into the page.
Here is an example send an HTTP request with a Javascript call:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.execute_script("""
var r = new XMLHttpRequest();
r.open('POST', '/search', 0);
r.setRequestHeader('Content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
r.send('q=bill+material&output=xml&client=test&site=operations&access=p');
return r.responseText;
""")
While it may be tempting to setup a test this way, I wouldn't recommend it since it will create new dependencies to the UI, increase the complexity and therefore increase the cost of maintenance of the tests.
