Generating fake data

Momentic tests preloads faker.js. This library allows you to generate fake data for your tests. You can use it to generate random names, addresses, emails, and more.

​

Usage

To use faker.js in your tests, you can call the faker function directly. Here’s an example:

TYPE "{{ faker.internet.userName() }}" into "username input"

This step will generate a random username and type it into the username input field.

You can also use faker.js inside JavaScript steps to generate more complex data. Here’s an example:

const firstName = faker.name.firstName();
const lastName = faker.name.lastName();
const email = faker.internet.email(firstName, lastName);

const person = {
  firstName,
  lastName,
  email,
};

// makes the person object available to other steps as env.FAKE_PERSON
setVariable("FAKE_PERSON", person);
