Running PouchDB Tests

The PouchDB test suite expects an instance of CouchDB (version 1.6.1 and above) running in Admin Party on http://127.0.0.1:5984 with CORS enabled, 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.

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/integration/index.html in your browser of choice. The performance tests are located @ http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/index.html.

Unit tests

$ npm run build-as-modular-es5
$ npm run test-unit

These are tests that confirm small parts of PouchDB functionality. In order to work correctly with ES6, they are first transpiled to lib as modular ES5 (run run build-as-modular-es5) using Babel, and then tested as CommonJS modules. See build-as-modular-es5.sh for details.

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

$ npm run test-coverage

Again, this uses npm run build-as-modular-es5 in order to fully test the codebase as a non-bundle. See build-as-modular-es5.sh for details.

Test alternative server

$ COUCH_HOST=http://user:[email protected] npm run dev

or

$ COUCH_HOST=http://user:[email protected] npm test

Other test options

  • SKIP_MIGRATION=1 should be used to skip the migration tests.
  • POUCHDB_SRC=../../dist/pouchdb.js can be used to treat another file as the PouchDB source file.
  • npm run test-webpack will build with Webpack and then test that in a browser.

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

Testing against PouchDB server

pouchdb-server is a project that uses 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/

To run the node-websql test in Node, run the tests with:

ADAPTER=websql

Performance tests

To run the performance test suite in node.js:

PERF=1 npm test

Or the automated browser runner:

PERF=1 CLIENT=selenium:firefox npm test

You can also use GREP to run certain tests:

PERF=1 GREP=basic-inserts npm test

You can also use LEVEL_ADAPTER to use a certain "DOWN" adapter:

PERF=1 LEVEL_ADAPTER=memdown npm test

You can also test against node-websql:

PERF=1 ADAPTER=websql npm test

Performance tests in the browser

When you run npm run dev, performance tests are available at:

http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/index.html

You can specify a particular version of PouchDB or a particular adapter by doing e.g.:

http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/index.html?src=http://site.com/path/to/pouchdb.js
http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/index.html?adapter=websql
http://localhost:8000/tests/performance/index.html?adapter=idb&src=//site.com/pouchdb.js

All of the browser plugin adapters (i.e. fruitdown, 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/index.html?grep=basics
http://127.0.0.1:8000/tests/performance/index.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: fruitdown, memory and localstorage. All are based on the LevelDOWN API:

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/index.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/index.html?adapters=websql

Or even make the preferredAdapters list anything you want:

# loads websql, then memory, then idb, then localstorage
http://localhost:8000/tests/index.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
