# Actions on Google Testing Library

*:warning: Warning: Conversational Actions will be deprecated on June 13, 2023. For more information, see [Conversational Actions Sunset](https://goo.gle/ca-sunset).*

This library allows developers to write automated testing for their actions in Node.js.

[![NPM Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/actions-on-google-testing.svg)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/actions-on-google-testing)

:warning: This library supports Dialogflow and the legacy Actions SDK. We now recommend using [Actions Builder or the new Actions SDK](https://developers.google.com/assistant/conversational/overview) to develop, test, and deploy Conversational Actions. For testing [Conversational Actions](https://developers.google.com/assistant/conversational/actions) built using [Actions Builder](https://developers.google.com/assistant/console/builder) see the [@assistant/conversation-testing](https://github.com/actions-on-google/assistant-conversation-testing-nodejs) library.

Examples can be found in the `/examples` directory for two sample apps.

The [Assistant SDK](https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk) is used to give developers
programmatic access to the Assistant and returns debug information about their actions that
are in a test state.

**Note: This library is currently in an alpha, experimental state. APIs may break between releases. Feedback and bugs can be provided by filing an issue in this repository.**

## How to get started

1. Go to the [Actions console](http://console.actions.google.com)
2. Create a new project. This project can be independent of your other projects.
    * You can use this project to test any of your actions that are in a test state
3. For this new project, enable the [Google Assistant API](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/embeddedassistant.googleapis.com/overview)
4. Go to the **Device Registration** section.
5. Click **REGISTER MODEL**
    1. Fill out the product and manufacturer name
    1. Set the Device type to *Light*, although the choice does not matter
6. Download the `credentials.json` file
7. Use this credentials file to generate test credentials:

```bash
node generate-credentials.js /path/to/credentials.json
```

8. Copy and paste the URL and enter the authorization code. You will see a response
similar to the following:

`Saved user credentials in "test-credentials.json"`

9. Create a JavaScript file for your tests: `test.js`

```javascript
'use strict';
const { ActionsOnGoogleAva } = require('actions-on-google-testing');
const { expect } = require('chai');
// Library will try to obtain credentials from environment variables in case
// credentials file is not specified
const action = new ActionsOnGoogleAva(require('./test/test-credentials.json'));

// Start out with giving a name to this test
action.startTest('Facts about Google - direct cat path', action => {
    // Return a promise that starts a conversation with your test app
    return action.start()
        .then(({ textToSpeech }) => {
            // Get a response back from your fulfillment.
            // To continue the conversation, you can send
            // a new text query. This starts the next
            // turn of the conversation.
            return action.send('cats');
        })
        .then(({ ssml }) => {
            // The entire set of responses are listed below.
            // You can use Chai to verify responses.
            expect(ssml[0]).to.have.string("Alright, here's a cat fact.")
        })
});
```

10. Run `yarn`
11. Update your `package.json` to add this test file to your test script.

```JSON
"scripts": {
    "test": "./node_modules/.bin/ava -c 1 -s ./test.js"
},
```
12. Run `yarn test`. You should see your test be executed.

**NOTE** You can also alternatively set the following environment variables - ```ACTIONS_TESTING_CLIENT_ID```,```ACTIONS_TESTING_CLIENT_SECRET```, ```ACTIONS_TESTING_REFRESH_TOKEN``` - to authenticate your Actions project with the Assistant SDK.

## Supported features

This library provides the following features to control your conversation:

* `action.start()` - Start your conversation with your action using "my test app".
* `action.startWith()` - Start your conversation with your action using the specified action name.
* `action.send()` - Send some phrase to your action.
* `action.cancel()` - End your conversation. This library says "cancel".
* `action.locale` - Set a locale for your conversation.
* `action.location` - Set an array of a latitude and a longitude.

## Possible responses

These responses will come from your fulfillment, and will consist of whatever
objects that you return.
