vitest-environment-ui5

npm test

A Vitest Environment for unit testing UI5 code. Run your unit tests in a blazing fast way! Neither webserver nor browser are required. It runs in Node.js and uses jsdom to emulate browser environment.

See Vitest Environment and jsdom for more details.

Installation

Install vitest-environment-ui5, and vitest, as devDependencies:

$ npm i -D vitest  vitest-environment-ui5

Setup

Vitest uses node as default test environment. In order to change it to a different environment, vitest-environment-ui5, we will either have to define it in vitest.config.js or add a @vitest-environment docblock at the top of the test file. See Vitest Config for more details.

vitest-environment-ui5 builds jsdom from a local HTML file, no webserver required. The HTML file should contain the UI5 bootstrap, similar to this one: ui5 bootstrap.

You can change the UI5 bootstrap configuration as you wish, just like in your webapp. You can even open the file in a browser to see UI5 being loaded. However, no tests will be executed.

Vitest Configuration

import { defineConfig } from "vitest/config";

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    environment: "ui5",
    environmentOptions: {
      ui5: {
        path: 'test/ui5-unit-test.html', // Path to the HTML file containing UI5 bootstrap
        timeout: 200 // UI5 load timeout in ms, default is 100ms
      }
    }
  }
});

Vitest DocBlock

/**
 * @vitest-environment ui5
 * @vitest-environment-options { "path": "test/ui5-unit-test.html" }
 */

import {expect, test} from 'vitest';

test('UI5 is loaded', () => {
  expect(window.sap).toBeTruthy();
  expect(sap).toBeTruthy();
  expect(sap.ui.getCore()).toBeTruthy();
  expect(sap.ui.version).toBeTruthy();
});

Run

Run the tests with Vitest CLI:

$ vitest

Don't be afraid

jsdom is not a real browser, but gets the job done for unit testing. All major javascript frameworks use it today: React, Vue, Svelte, and even our old friend jQuery. It has over 20M weekly downloads in NPM!
