HTML/CSS

If you want to create an HTML/CSS coding tutorial, you have to use the @learnpack/html plugin in order to compile and test your exercises. Go to Compiler Plugins to see how to install the plugin.
In addition, the main file should be named index.html, and the file for the tests, should be named tests.js.

Unit Testing

For testing, you should install Jest with the version "24.8.0". You can install it by running the following command: npm install [email protected] -g
If you are not so familiar with Jest, here are the most common tests that you will use when testing an HTML/CSS exercise tutorial:

Testing a tag exists:

tests.js
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require('path');
const html = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './index.html'), 'utf8');
​
test('The <title> tag should exist', () => {
let tag = document.querySelector("title");
expect(tag).toBeTruthy();
})

Testing a tag has the expected innerHTML:

tests.js
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require('path');
const html = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './index.html'), 'utf8');
​
test('The <title> tag exists and the innerHTML should be "Hello World"', () => {
let tag = document.querySelector("title");
expect(tag).toBeTruthy();
let file = document.documentElement.innerHTML = html.toString();
expect(tag.innerHTML).toBe("Hello World");
})

Testing a tag has a specific number of children:

tests.js
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require('path');
const html = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './index.html'), 'utf8');
​
test('The <ul> tag exists and has three children', () => {
let tag = document.querySelector("ul");
expect(tag).toBeTruthy();
expect(tag.children.length).toBe(3);
})

Testing a tag is inside another tag:

tests.js
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require('path');
const html = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './index.html'), 'utf8');
​
test('The <ul> tag should be inside of the <div>', () => {
let div = document.querySelector("div");
expect(div).toBeTruthy();
let ul = div.querySelector("ul");
expect(ul).toBeTruthy();
})

Testing the value of a specific property:

You can use this example for all the properties, they could be: src, href, innerHTML, id, alt, etc.
tests.js
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require('path');
const html = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './index.html'), 'utf8');
​
test('The href of the <a> tag should be the expected', () => {
let a = document.querySelector("a");
expect(a).toBeTruthy();
expect(a.href).toBe("https://www.learnpack.co");
})

Testing a tag has a specific style:

tests.js
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require('path');
const html = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './index.html'), 'utf8');
​
test('The <p> tag should have a red font color', () => {
let p = document.querySelector("p");
expect(p).toBeTruthy();
expect(p.style.color).toBe("red");
})
