Thank you so much! Thanks to your video, I was finally able to launch a new project specifically for testing. Looking forward to new videos. Best of luck in your endeavors!

[@testautomation999]

Thank you very much!

[@testautomation999]

Thanks. I check my the previous project. I can run without error. PS C:\Users\luluk\Documents\video-test> npx mocha home.spec.js
0 passing (1ms)
DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:65015/devtools/browser/d58a9582-575c-49ad-b5d8-f803025b2287

[@user-wi9qx7md7l]

thanks alot.
question in the result it showing 0 passing. how we can get the actual if it all passed. and show case is passed ex: home spec passed

[@testautomation999]

If we want to have not 0 passing, we need to re-structure our tests as:
describe("ADM Tests", () => {
it("Go Home", async function(){
});
it("Go Golf" ,async function(){
});
});
Thank you for the comments!
ADM Tests
✔ Go Home
✔ Go Golf
2 passing (5ms)

Looks like I'm missing something. I can't seem to get the Chromedriver to work.
npx mocha home.spec.js
Error: Unable to obtain browser driver.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@testautomation999]

Not sure which steps may be missed. May check codes.

Thank you for replying.
I can start and stop the chromedriver on a separate require js
But, executing your example js with the selenium-driver.. no luck
Error: Unable to obtain browser driver.😔

[@milyoszw]

for me worked npm install mocha

[@thanhproo1412]

Hi there , thank you so much for this informative video! What other resources would you suggest to learn more and improve my skills in automation testing?

[@testautomation999]

Thank you very much! It's our pleasure, our videos are informative. I suggested other skills in automation testing maybe API test, Load/Performance test, as UI automation testing we only introduced Selenium, other automation UI testing such as Cypress we will introduce later.

[@user-ir7cv6fb7e]

With this shall we launch desktop applications?

[@testautomation999]

You need to download and install Visual Studio Code and Node.js, then you can write selenium scripts in JavaScript. Do I answer your question? Thanks.

[@matthinchcliffe6158]

Can I do this with VS instead of VS Code?

[@testautomation999]

This case we used VS Code with JavaScript, if you setup JavaScript with VS, it will be OK.

[@FloStudios]

Why mocha rather than just running the code with node?

[@testautomation999]

Just use mocha test framework. It may run in node or other test framework. Thanks.

[@KhBlog24]

please tell me how to solve the error "Error: Unable to obtain browser driver."

[@testautomation999]

Thank you! You may check install selenium-webdriver, and make sure installation successfully.

I have the same problem after building my application, how do I solve it? It works in the test environment, but after building it doesn't.
