Canopy is a .NET-based browser automation and testing framework that enables developers to write and execute automated UI tests. It provides a functional API for controlling headless browsers, interacting with DOM elements, and validating JSON responses. The system also supports parallel test execution, load testing, and C\# integration, all managed through a modernized build and documentation infrastructure.

4 changes.

This period focused on modernizing the project's build infrastructure and upgrading to .NET 6.0, replacing legacy systems with a streamlined, SDK-style build process. Concurrently, the Canopy component received updates for parallel test execution and headless browser support, while new tests were added for JSON validation and load testing.

4 changes.

This period focused on expanding the Canopy ecosystem by introducing a browser extension for DOM interaction and enhancing the core library with string similarity and screen resolution utilities. Additionally, the integration testing suite was expanded to support C\# and include JSON validation and load testing capabilities.

5 changes.

This period focused on expanding the project's test coverage by introducing C\# and F\# test suites for browser automation and parallel execution. Concurrently, the team implemented a documentation generation tool and populated the documentation source with comprehensive references for the core testing and configuration APIs.

The canopy.integration package now includes support for C\# integration tests, featuring a JSON validation helper and a load testing framework. A new \chsharpLoadTest.fs\ file introduces a \runner\ that executes load test jobs, while \csharp.fs\ provides static methods for comparing and validating JSON structures. The project also includes an \AssemblyInfo.fs\ setting version 2.1.3 and references FSharp.Core and FSharp.Data.

A new jsonValidator module was added to the integration tests, providing a way to validate JSON structures by comparing expected and actual JSON payloads, including handling of null values and optional properties. Additionally, a loadTest module was introduced to simulate load on the system, allowing users to define tasks and jobs to measure performance metrics like min, max, and average response times.

Introduced a new docsTool that generates API documentation from F\# source code. The tool provides 'build' and 'watch' subcommands to generate static HTML pages from XML doc comments, with support for navigation, templates, and hot-reloading during development.

docsTool · high confidence

The documentation source now includes comprehensive reference pages for actions, assertions, configuration, reporting, and testing. Users can now view detailed examples for browser control (start, quit, url), element interaction (click, drag, hover), and assertions (equals, contains, regex). The docs also cover test suite execution (run, runFor), context management (once, before, after, lastly), and configuration options like timeouts and reporter selection.

Canopy is updated to version 2.1.3, introducing a new instanced API for running tests in parallel, alongside a C\#-friendly wrapper for easier integration with C\# test frameworks. The update also includes improved error reporting with timestamps in the console and TeamCity reporters, and adds support for headless Chrome and Firefox.

The canopy module now includes a new \jarowinkler.fs\ file implementing the Jaro-Winkler algorithm for calculating string similarity, replacing the previous Levenshtein-based approach. Additionally, \screen.fs\ is introduced to expose primary screen resolution and bounds, enabling features that depend on display dimensions.

Added the Canopy Companion extension, a browser add-on that provides element selection and inspection capabilities. The extension consists of a F\# script (companion.fsx) that compiles to JavaScript (companion.js) and includes a background script (background.js) to manage the extension's lifecycle. The implementation includes core Fable runtime libraries (e.g., Async, BigInt, Date, Event) and utility modules, enabling the companion to interact with web pages to identify and select DOM elements.

The project has been restructured with a new solution layout, introducing a .NET Core/FAKE-based build system (Build.fsx, build.sh, build.cmd) and CI configurations for Travis and AppVeyor. A new Directory.Build.props file centralizes NuGet package metadata and icon URLs. The repository now includes a comprehensive .gitignore, .editorconfig for consistent coding styles, and a formal CHANGELOG.md adhering to semantic versioning. These changes streamline the build process and improve maintainability for developers.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

Added C\# browser automation and JSON validation tests; Added parallel test runner example; Added parallel test suite for Canopy; Added test suite for JSON validation and load testing.

The project has been upgraded to target .NET 6.0 across all components, including the docsTool, canopy core, integration tests, and various test suites. This involves replacing the legacy .NET Framework build system with the modern .NET SDK-style project files and adopting Paket for dependency management, which updates the dependency graph to include Selenium WebDriver 4.3 and FSharp.Core 6.0.5.
