vscode-test VS WebdriverIO

Integration Tests combine multiple parts of your software and test them together. They are a good option for testing some behaviour of extensions. If you read the docs, they suggest using the @vscode/test-electron package and mocha. This will allow you to run tests inside an actual VSCode instance, so you avoid mocking. However, you are still constrained. The API gives limited information on many areas. For example even this very simple test is not easily realizable with the VSCode API:

At the beginning, I thought @vscode/test-electron didn't work well, but I can run https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-test without errors 😓

3.WebdriverIO: WebdriverIO is another popular open-source test automation framework. Key Features: Integrates well with popular testing frameworks (e.g., Mocha, Jasmine). Supports both synchronous and asynchronous commands. Works with various browsers and platforms

Webdriver.io

There is a tool called webdriver.io which purports to handle mobile automation. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but it's on my radar.

We recently hired an engineer to write us integration tests with webdriver.io. All of our other tests run fine in Github actions - rspec, javascript jest, etc.

Your automated tests will act on behalf of a real user, open a real web browser (typically Chromium, Chrome, Firefox) using one an existing technology like Webdriver and add some syntactical sugar on top.

WebdriverIO (abbreviated as WDIO) is an E2E testing framework for Node.js. It allows you to automate all kinds of web and mobile applications using the Webdriver or Chrome DevTools protocols.

i recall having to deal with elements inside iframes and shadow roots when using webdriver.io for testing. you can always inspect an element and copy the selector. if it is unique to the page it should work
