Testing Mixed Context Window Instance Management in NW.js

This test suite validates the handling of mixed context window instances in NW.js using Selenium WebDriver. It focuses on verifying proper behavior when spawning new renderer windows and checking undefined context variables.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite covers critical functionality related to window instance management and context isolation in NW.js applications.

Key areas tested include:

Spawning new renderer windows
Window handle management
Context variable scope verification
Cross-window communication integrity

Implementation Analysis

The implementation utilizes Selenium WebDriver to automate browser interactions and validate window behaviors. The test employs a systematic approach using Chrome options for NW.js app configuration and explicit window handle management.

Key patterns include:

Chrome WebDriver initialization with custom options
Window handle switching and validation
Element interaction and attribute verification
Assertion-based result validation

Technical Details

Testing tools and configuration:

Selenium WebDriver with Chrome driver
Custom Chrome options for NW.js integration
Python test framework
Environment-based driver path configuration
Window handle management utilities

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test implementation showcases several testing best practices for web application automation.

Notable practices include:

Proper test cleanup with driver quit in finally block
Explicit wait mechanisms for window handling
Clear assertion conditions for validation
Modular test utility integration
Robust error handling structure
