Summary
MediaWiki uses WebdriverIO as its primary testing framework. Recently WebdriverIO was migrated to v6 for most of the repositories. While migration was being carried out, it was noticed that there was a need for cleanup and refactoring of the existing WebdriverIO code across the repositories. It is desirable to keep the tests consistent across repositories and make the components re-usable. This helps in maintaining code quality and increases developer productivity.

Broad goals of the project are:

• Remove inconsistency and redundancy in selenium test files across different repositories.
• Ensure that the documentation of the testing is updated and in-sync with the latest code.
• Develop packages and abstractions which can be re-used inside different repositories for testing. This would remove duplication of code across files in different repositories.

Technical Details

Repositories running selenium tests currently:
Source: 1 and 2

For the above repositories we should ensure:

1. /tests/selenium/log is in .gitignore so that logs are not getting tracked by git. Tracked by: T265463
2. README.md is updated and correct. Tracked by: T248221
3. package.json has @wdio dependencies with version v6 and above. Sample paste: P8623. This is also being tracked by: T247844. All repositories except mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch and wikimedia/portals/deploy seem to have been moved to v6
4. eslint-config-wikimedia 0.17.x is used in all repositories. Tracked by: T254495
5. MediaWiki-Dcoker is the default testing environment for Selenium Framework. Tracked by: T247312
6. Addition of junit publisher to selenium-daily-beta Jenkins Jobs. Tracked by: T214686
7. Recording of Selenium tests. Tracked by: T253113

Apart from the above tasks which need to be done and/or checked for each repository, we want to create a npm package that helps in recording videos for test runs (T259341). This will help in recording selenium tests which is a requirement for each repository.

Participation

• Will be working more than 50 hours a week
• Will be available on Zulip during working hours
• Will be available on email outside working hours

Why Is This Necessary?

It is desirable to keep the tests consistent across repositories and make the components re-usable. This helps in maintaining code quality and increases developer productivity.

Other Deliverables

1. Written documentation on my progress every week.
2. Regular communication with my mentor(s) and other community members.
