Current status: We've built a better testing framework. There's still lot of be done.

Core

• "Rerun build" should use the same config and host as the original build.

Tooling

CLI

• Change crusher/config.json to crusher/config.js. #243
• Add support for sharing and running test in isolation.
• Add environment support for Crusher #235
• Add --commit-id flag in test:run command for CI integration

Features

• Support component testing
• Add configuration support
• Test management support

Devex

• Integrate crusher with Vitest or vitejs. Allow component and e2e run in instantly.
• Create plugin for bundling system to add identifier directly from crusher. For vite, webpack, etc.
• Create plugin to use component name while testing.

App

• Improve logs in build report
• Show network requests between steps in build report
• Add option to create test for common template such as SEO checks, performance, broken links, etc.

Test runner & SDK

• Add support to find an element using document.querySelector, getElementById, etc.
• Auto-refresh for argo-tunnel in test-runner.
• Add option to cache request to test based on historical reponse. Use hashing.
• Fail navigation steps if critical error like (SSL validation, no response, etc)

Misc

• Add long polling or websockets in recorder to decrease response time and total requests.

Optimize contribution

These will be delightful, current dev setup is still good with dev reload <3 seconds.

• Upgrade to next 12.
• Use HMR in crusher electron app/upgrade to vite.
• Find a way to use vite with server.
