Getting started

To get started with testing static websites using TestDriver, follow these steps:

1. Follow our quick start guide to set up your TestDriver account.
2. Create a new test project in your TestDriver dashboard.
3. Add your static website URL to the test settings. It looks like this in the prerun.yaml file:

version: 5.1.1
steps:
  - prompt: launch chrome
    commands:
      - command: exec
        lang: shell
        linux: |
          jumpapp google-chrome --disable-fre --no-default-browser-check --no-first-run "${TD_WEBSITE}" &
          exit
        mac: |
          open -na "Google Chrome" --args --disable-fre --no-default-browser-check --no-first-run --disable-features=PasswordManagerEnabled "${TD_WEBSITE}" &
          exit
        windows:
          Start-Process "C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" -ArgumentList "--start-maximized", "${TD_WEBSITE}"
          exit
      - command: wait-for-text
        text: "Google Chrome"
        timeout: 30000

Set the TD_WEBSITE environment variable to the URL of your static website. This will allow TestDriver to launch the browser and navigate to your website. You can do this by adding this prerun.yaml file to your project or by simply using:

testdriverai init

Running init will create the prerun.yaml file for you and ask you which website to load with your test.
