Running PouchDB Tests
--------------------------------------
The PouchDB test suite expects an instance of CouchDB running in [Admin Party](http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/security.html#party) on http://127.0.0.1:5984, you can configure this by sending the `COUCH_HOST` env var.
* PouchDB has been primarily developed on Linux and OSX, if you are using Windows then these instructions will have problems, we would love your help fixing them though.
### Node Tests
Given that you have [installed a CouchDB server](#installing-a-couchdb-server).
Run all tests with:
$ npm test
### Browser Tests
Browser tests can be run automatically with:
$ CLIENT=selenium:firefox npm test
or you can run:
$ npm run dev
and open [http://127.0.0.1:8000/tests/test.html](http://127.0.0.1:8000/tests/test.html) in your browser of choice. The performance tests are located @ [http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/test.html](http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/test.html).
### Test Options
#### Subset of tests:
$ GREP=test.replication.js npm test
or append `?grep=test.replication.js` if you opened the tests in a browser manually.
#### Test Coverage
$ COVERAGE=1 npm test
#### Test alternative server
$ COUCH_HOST=http://user:pass@myname.host.com npm run dev
or
$ COUCH_HOST=http://user:pass@myname.host.com npm test
#### Test with ES5 shims
Some older browsers require [es5 shims](https://github.com/es-shims/es5-shim). Enable them with:
$ ES5_SHIM=true npm run dev
or e.g.:
$ ES5_SHIM=true CLIENT=selenium:phantomjs npm test
or you can append it as `?es5shim=true` if you manually opened a browser window.
#### Run the map/reduce tests
The map/reduce tests are done separately from the normal integration tests, because
they take a long time. They'll also cause a ton of popups in Safari due to exceeding
the 5MB limit.
$ TYPE=mapreduce npm test
### Cordova tests
You may need to install `ant` in order for the Android tests to run (e.g. `brew install ant`). You'll also need the Android SDK, and to make sure your `$ANDROID_HOME` is set.
Run the tests against an iOS simulator:
$ CLIENT=ios npm run cordova
Run the tests against a connected Android device, using the given COUCH_HOST
$ CLIENT=android DEVICE=true COUCH_HOST=http://example.com:5984
Run the tests against the FirefoxOS simulator:
$ CLIENT=firefoxos npm run cordova
Run the tests against a BlackBerry 10 device:
$ CLIENT=blackberry10 DEVICE=true npm run cordova
Use a custom Couch host:
$ COUCH_HOST=http://myurl:5984 npm run cordova
Grep some tests:
$ GREP=basics npm run cordova
Test against the [SQLite Plugin](https://github.com/brodysoft/Cordova-SQLitePlugin):
$ SQLITE_PLUGIN=true ADAPTERS=websql npm run cordova
**Notes:**
* `CLIENT=ios` will run on iOS, default is `CLIENT=android`
* `DEVICE=true` will run on a device connected via USB, else on an emulator (default is the emulator)
* `SQLITE_PLUGIN=true` will install and use the [SQLite Plugin](https://github.com/brodysoft/Cordova-SQLitePlugin).
* `ADAPTERS=websql` should be used if you want to skip using IndexedDB on Android 4.4+ or if you want to force the SQLite Plugin.
* `COUCH_HOST` should be the full URL; you can only omit this is in the Android emulator due to the magic `10.0.2.2` route to `localhost`.
* `ES5_SHIM=true` should be used on devices that don't support ES5 (e.g. Android 2.x).
**WEINRE debugging:**
You can also debug with Weinre by doing:
$ npm install -g weinre
$ weinre --boundHost=0.0.0.0
Then run the tests with:
$ WEINRE_HOST=http://route.to.my.weinre:8080 npm run cordova
### Testing against PouchDB server
[pouchdb-server](https://github.com/nick-thompson/pouchdb-server) is a project that uses [express-pouchdb](https://github.com/nick-thompson/express-pouchdb) to run a CouchDB-compliant server backed by PouchDB.
To test the latest and greatest version of pouchdb-server, you can do e.g.:
SERVER=pouchdb-server npm test
SERVER=pouchdb-server CLIENT=selenium:firefox npm test
If you would like to modify pouchdb-server while testing, then git clone the express-pouchdb and pouchdb-server projects, `npm link` them all together, and then run:
node /path/to/pouchdb-server/bin/pouchdb-server -p 6984
Then in the PouchDB project, run:
COUCH_HOST=http://localhost:6984 npm run dev
This works because `npm run dev` does not start up the pouchdb-server itself (only `npm test` does).
### Testing the in-memory adapter
`pouchdb-server` uses the `--in-memory` flag to use MemDOWN. To enable this, set
SERVER_ADAPTER=memory
Whereas on the client this is configured using `PouchDB.defaults()`, so you can enable it like so:
LEVEL_ADAPTER=memdown
The value is a comma-separated list of key values, where the key-values are separated by colons.
Some Level adapters also require a standard database name prefix (e.g. `riak://` or `mysql://`), which you can specify like so:
LEVEL_PREFIX=riak://localhost:8087/
### Testing Pouch in a shell
For quick debugging, you can run an interactive Node shell with the `PouchDB` variable already available:
npm run shell
### Performance tests
PERF=1 npm test
To run the performance test suite in node.js or the automated browser runner.
### Performance tests in the browser
You can specify a particular version of PouchDB or a particular adapter by doing e.g.:
http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/test.html?src=http://site.com/path/to/pouchdb.js
http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/test.html?adapter=websql
http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/test.html?adapter=idb&src=//site.com/pouchdb.js
All of the browser plugin adapters (i.e. `idb-alt`, `memory`, and `localstorage`) are also available this way.
You can also specify particular tests by using `grep=`, e.g.:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/tests/performance/test.html?grep=basics
http://127.0.0.1:8000/tests/performance/test.html?grep=basic-inserts
### Ad-hoc tests
There's a WebSQL storage quota test available in:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/tests/stress/websql_storage_limit.html
Run `npm run dev`, then open it in Safari or iOS.
Adapter plugins and adapter order
--------------------------------------
We are currently building three adapters-as-plugins: `memory`, `localstorage`, and `idb-alt`. All are based on the [LevelDOWN API](https://github.com/rvagg/abstract-leveldown):
* `memory`: based on [MemDOWN](https://github.com/rvagg/memdown)
* `localstorage`: based on [localstorage-down](https://github.com/no9/localstorage-down)
* `idb-alt`: based on [level-js](https://github.com/maxogden/level.js), will probably replace `idb.js` someday
These adapters are built and included in the `dist/` folder as e.g. `pouchdb.memory.js`. Including these scripts after `pouchdb.js` will load the adapters, placing them in the `PouchDB.preferredAdapters` list after `idb` and `websql` by default.
<script src="pouchdb.js"></script>
<script>console.log(PouchDB.preferredAdapters); // ['idb', 'websql']</script>
<script src="pouchdb.memory.js"></script>
<script>console.log(PouchDB.preferredAdapters); // ['idb', 'websql', 'memory']</script>
To test these adapters, you can run e.g.
ADAPTERS=memory CLIENT=selenium:firefox npm run test
Or append them as query params in the browser:
http://localhost:8000/tests/test.html?adapters=memory
The `adapters` list is a comma-separated list that will be used for `PouchDB.preferredAdapters`. So e.g. if you want to test `websql` in Chrome, you can do:
http://localhost:8000/tests/test.html?adapters=websql
Or even make the `preferredAdapters` list any crazy thing you want:
# loads websql, then memory, then idb, then localstorage
http://localhost:8000/tests/test.html?adapters=websql,memory,idb,localstorage
Keep in mind that `preferredAdapters` only applies to non-http, non-https adapters.
### Installing a CouchDB server
Regular install
---------------------------
See the [official CouchDB documentation](http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/install/index.html) for a guide on how to install CouchDB.
Docker install
-----------------------------
Don't have a CouchDB installed on your machine? Don't want one? Let's use [docker](https://www.docker.com/)
and [fig](http://www.fig.sh/).
1. [Install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/installation/#installation)
2. [Install Fig](http://www.fig.sh/install.html)
3. Run `fig -f tests/misc/fig.yml up -d` from PouchDB project root folder to download and run a CouchDB server in docker
4. Check with `fig -f tests/misc/fig.yml ps` that `couchdb` is running and listen on `0.0.0.0:15984`
5. Run the test suite with: `COUCH_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:15984 npm test`
Now everytime you want to run the test suite, you just need to:
$ fig -f tests/misc/fig.yml start
