Browser tests and mock apps

Verify lifecycle and CSP in a browser and generate test providers from contracts.

Requires WU CLI 1.2.0 and WU Framework 4.0.0 for application APIs. Check wu --version and the project dependencies.

Node and browser tests

wu test
wu test --watch
npm install --save-dev @playwright/test
npx playwright install chromium
wu test --browser --csp strict --trusted-types --json

Without --browser, wu test runs node --test and forwards remaining arguments and output. With --browser, it switches to Chromium lifecycle verification: it reads configured apps, starts development when needed and checks mounting, updates, hiding, recovery and cleanup. Exit is 0 for success, 1 for a failed check and 2 for setup failure.

Option Usage
--url <origin> Uses an existing server.
--port <port> Server startup port; default 3999.
--only <app> Filters apps by name; repeatable.
--cycles <n> From 2 to 20; default 2.
--timeout <ms> From 1000 to 120000; default 30000.
--csp <mode> scripts by default, strict or off.
--trusted-types Adds Trusted Types directives.
--channel <name> Chromium channel; also WU_BROWSER_CHANNEL.
--headed, --verbose, --json Visible window, detailed output or JSON report.

Generate a mock provider

Save this descriptor as counter.json in the workspace:

{ "name": "counter", "version": "1.1.0", "methods": {
  "double": { "input": { "type": "number" }, "output": { "type": "number" } }
} }
wu mock counter.json --name counter-mock --dir mf-counter-mock --json
wu install
wu dev

wu mock generates a runnable microapp, schema-valid responses and its wu.config.json entry. Edit src/samples.js to change data; the app displays methods and calls. The default name derives from the service with a -mock suffix; --dir chooses the directory. --force allows replacing an existing destination, so review its contents first.

Generation exits with 0; invalid contracts, arguments or projects produce 2. A mock supports development against a contract; it does not implement real business logic. A lifecycle suite also does not replace functional screen tests. Verify both before publishing.
