Your first test case

If you ran the Quick start, you probably noticed that a Lila test is just a YAML file with human readable steps.

The test is defined using steps. Each step has an action and one or more verifications.

For example:

# The action is to go to a page, with just one verification
- goto: https://google.com
  verify: there is a main search bar
# The action is to click on a button, with multiple verifications
- click: the login button
  verify:
    - there is a login form to enter username and password
    - social logins are available

Step types​

Each step can be:

  • goto: to navigate to a page
  • click: to click on an element
  • input: to type text in an input field
  • pick: to select an option from a dropdown

More steps will be added in the future.

For more details about the step instructions, read the Instructions section

Writing the test​

Just define the steps in a YAML file. Additionally, you can add tags to group tests.

my-test.yaml
tags:
  - foo
  - bar

steps:
  - goto: https://google.com
    verify: there is a main search bar

  - input: in the search bar 'Lila'
  ...

Run your test​

Use the Lila CLI to run the test. If you haven't installed it yet, follow the Installation guide.

LILA_API_KEY=<api-key> lila run my-test.yaml

Lila will run the test and provide a report.
