Native and JS testing

[benhunterandrewrobertson]

Hi there,

I'm wondering what the best approach for testing how well the native and Javascript portions of our Capacitor app work together is? Currently we have a lot of test suites for the JS side, and none for the native side. We want to test the functionality of both sides together. Here's an example:

The user launches the app while unauthenticated, get's sent to the welcome screen > taps login > native in-app browser opens using the Capacitor Browser plugin > user enters their details, signs in correctly > browser closes and user is authenticated by the app. Testing with Jest or Cypress won't work for this scenario because we're using a mixture of JS and native code (i.e., the browser).

I couldn't see much discussion on this previously, except that the team is working to improve this in future releases.

Interested to see how other people have approached this issue.

Thanks!
