How to handle HUD

Test Maker provides a Head-Up Display (HUD) feature during web test execution, offering additional information and control options.

Enabling the HUD​

You can enable the HUD during your test execution using the following code example:

await I.enableInfoHud();
await I.goto("https://documentation.testmaker.io/");
let test = await Selector(`[class="hero__title"]`).innerText;
await I.updateInfoHud(test);
await I.wait(5000);
await I.debugger();

This code example demonstrates how to enable the HUD, navigate to a specific URL, update the HUD information, and use the debugger.

Controlling the HUD​

The HUD can be controlled using the following actions:

  • Hover over it to make it disappear.
  • Keep pressing the Ctrl key to keep it visible even while hovering.
  • Use the HUD to control the debugger with pause and resume buttons.

Modifying HUD Opacity​

You can change the HUD's opacity by modifying your Test Maker configuration. For example:

import { Configuration } from "test-maker";

const testMakerLocalConfig: Configuration = {
    reporting: {
        hud: {
            enabled: true,
            opacity: 0.8,
        },
    }
};

export default testMakerLocalConfig;

This configuration allows you to customize the HUD according to your preferences and needs.

The HUD is a valuable tool that provides additional information and control capabilities during your test execution. Make sure to explore its features and adjust its settings to enhance your testing experience.
