Experimental Features

Firefox support

To launch Taiko with firefox:

  • Download and install firefox nightly
  • Set TAIKO_BROWSER_PATH to firefox nightly’s executable.
TAIKO_BROWSER_PATH="/Applications/Firefoxnightly.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox" npx taiko

A few known issues

  • Highlighting element on action is set to false as overlay domain is not supported
  • openTab/closeTab does not work as expected since New is not available in firefox yet
  • Autofocus on first input field does not happen
  • file:// protocol does not emit events
  • waitFoNavigation does not wait for network calls and frame loads

TypeScript Support

When using Gauge together with Taiko with gauge-ts using

npm install @getgauge/cli
gauge init ts

You can optionally configure your project to use our experimental type definitions. Edit your tsconfig.json and add the following lines:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        // gauge-ts default configuration here
        // add experimental taiko TypeScript Type Definition folder to the project
        "typeRoots": ["node_modules/@types", "node_modules/taiko/types"],
        // use taiko types in the project
        "types": ["node", "taiko"]
    }
}
