What this skill does
# TestCafe Automation Skill
## Core Patterns
### Basic Test
```javascript
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';
fixture('Login').page('https://example.com/login');
test('Login with valid credentials', async t => {
await t
.typeText('#username', '[email protected]')
.typeText('#password', 'password123')
.click('button[type="submit"]')
.expect(Selector('.dashboard').exists).ok();
});
```
### Selectors
```javascript
const submitBtn = Selector('button').withText('Submit');
const listItems = Selector('.item').count;
const nthItem = Selector('.item').nth(2);
const filtered = Selector('.item').withAttribute('data-status', 'active');
```
### Page Model
```javascript
import { Selector, t } from 'testcafe';
class LoginPage {
constructor() {
this.usernameInput = Selector('#username');
this.passwordInput = Selector('#password');
this.submitButton = Selector('button[type="submit"]');
}
async login(username, password) {
await t
.typeText(this.usernameInput, username)
.typeText(this.passwordInput, password)
.click(this.submitButton);
}
}
export default new LoginPage();
```
### TestMu AI Cloud
See [reference/cloud-integration.md](reference/cloud-integration.md) for full cloud setup and [shared/testmu-cloud-reference.md](../shared/testmu-cloud-reference.md) for capabilities.
```bash
export LT_USERNAME=your_username
export LT_ACCESS_KEY=your_key
npx testcafe "lambdatest:Chrome@latest:Windows 11" tests/
```
### Anti-Patterns
| Bad | Good | Why |
|-----|------|-----|
| `await t.wait(5000)` | Smart assertions with timeout | Arbitrary delays |
| Deep CSS selectors | `Selector().withText()` | Fragile |
| No error screenshots | `t.takeScreenshot()` on failure | Missing debug info |
## Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Run all | `npx testcafe chrome tests/` |
| Run headless | `npx testcafe chrome:headless tests/` |
| Run specific | `npx testcafe chrome tests/login.js` |
| Multiple browsers | `npx testcafe chrome,firefox tests/` |
| Live mode | `npx testcafe chrome tests/ --live` |
| Screenshot | `await t.takeScreenshot()` |
| Resize | `await t.resizeWindow(1280, 720)` |
