Testing PCF components with Test Engine

Similar to our approach in the Testing canvas components with Test Engine section, we will employ a YAML file capable of modifying the component’s properties. This strategy, when coupled with the ability to interact with other controls, allows us to conduct a comprehensive end-to-end test of the application we aim to evaluate.

Our initial step typically involves configuring the config.dev.json file. Here’s how:

1. Configure the environment ID and tenant ID where the application is situated.
2. Point to the path where our YAML file can be found. In this case, since we’re directly using the provided sample file, we must point to the samples folder and the accompanying YAML file.

   Finally, specify the output folder where we wish to store our results, including the .trx file, logs, videos, and screenshots.

   Figure 9.15 shows how the config.dev.json file should appear:
