I'm building a Chrome extension that removes some content from a website. I wanted to set up some integration and e2e tests on it in order to check...
- functions that set values in the
chrome.storageAPI - interactions with the extension's UI (i.e. when you click the extension icon next to the address bar)
- whether the extension works well from an e2e standpoint
I'm a beginner in testing and I'm struggling to figure out what would be the best approach. Here's the options I've looked at so far:
- Cypress - can only do a part of 3; I say "a part" because the e2e would require me to look at changes in the
chrome.storageAPI. - Puppeteer & Jest - could work for Chrome, but features in Firefox are experimental and I'm planning to make the extension compatible with that browser.
- Selenium & Jest - seems like the only one that could work, but most of the answers I see here are from +3 years ago and it seems to require a lot to set up.
Is Selenium still the only option in 2021 for testing Chrome extensions?
