Using the notebook's own base class is a great place to start: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/blob/master/notebook/tests/launchnotebook.py
It does a number of things to ensure you have a clean setting, like populating HOME. It's harder to not include things that are installed into the environment in which the test is running, but with virtual/conda envs (or something like tox) you can be pretty sure. Once you have a server: the notebook tests are currently moving away from js-based tests towards python tests with selenium directly https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/blob/master/notebook/tests/selenium/test_save_as_notebook.py I have been using Robot Framework and it's selenium wrapper a lot recently for testing JupyterLab, but it could certainly test classic: http://robotframework.org/ http://robotframework.org/SeleniumLibrary/ Here are some (admittedly pretty crazy) tests: https://github.com/deathbeds/jyve/blob/master/tests/acceptance/Kernels.robot https://github.com/deathbeds/jupyterlab-fonts/blob/master/tests/acceptance/Editor.robot And some of the output, which includes lovely screenshots and timings: https://deathbeds.github.io/jyve/log.html If you want to go the extra meta-mile, a new Robot kernel was released this week: https://pypi.org/project/robotkernel/ On Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at 12:19:54 PM UTC-4, Titus Barik wrote: > > Hi all, > > Is there any advice or guidance for how to test Jupyter (classical) > front-end extensions?
