Getting Started

1. Install Node 16 or higher

3. From the ios and android directories, run npm install to install dependencies

That’s it! At this point, you should be able to run tests.

Run Tests Locally

Running all tests for either Android or iOS

1. Navigate to the directory of either the android or ios project
2. Run npm run all to run all tests in the project

Running a single test

1. Navigate to the directory of either the android or ios project
2. Run npm run test features/{name}.feature using the name of your feature file

Running multiple tests

1. Navigate to the directory of either the android or ios project
2. Run npm run test {feature_path_1} {feature_path_2} etc...

Run on 1 or more devices
