nw-api-sanity-check

WIP - NW.js cross platform test suite using prebuilt binary to quickly test its API.

Running Locally

1. fork/clone/download
2. npm install
3. npm start to run automated tests
4. npm manual to run manual tests in the window (instructions provided)

Known Issues

• API: nw.Window.*
  • Platform: N/A
  • Issue: Not an issue but potential improvement.
  • Todo: Test each nw.Window.* component separately.
• API: nw.Window.height
  • Platform: MacOS
  • Issue: Actual height is 28px more than user input height.
  • Todo: Fix this behavior in upstream
• API: nw.Window.on devtools-closed
  • Platform: All
  • Issue: This event is currently not supported.
  • Todo: Use nw-build-tools to run debug build and test if it works.
• API: Chromedriver
  • Platform: Windows
  • Issue: Fails for Windows. Need to investigate.
  • Todo: Maybe find Chromedriver path via nw Node module's findpath function?

Questions

• nw.App.clearAppCache(''); - Don't know what to pass into this function. Docs just say "manifest_url"?
• <iframe nwUserAgent=""> - Points to Manifest docs for user agent, which has placeholders, but they don't work in this context. Should they? Is this a bug?
  • To test: <iframe nwUserAgent="%name %ver %nwver %webkit_ver %chromium_ver %osinfo"></iframe> should show real values, not just the placeholders.
• Should console logs from a Node context appear in the background page inspector or the window? Logically to me it should be the background page (which is how it works), but the docs aren't clear.
• process.mainModule is an object while the docs indicate it would be a string
