sinon-chrome
A helper tool for unit-testing Chrome and Firefox extensions and apps in Node.js by mocking the browser API.
What is sinon-chrome?
Sinon-chrome is a Node.js library for unit-testing Chrome and Firefox browser extensions and apps. It mocks the entire browser API using Sinon stubs and mock events, allowing developers to run tests without a real browser. It solves the problem of testing extension logic in isolation by providing a controlled, schema-accurate simulation of the Chrome and Firefox extension environments.
Developers building Chrome or Firefox extensions and apps who need to write unit tests in Node.js without browser dependency. It's particularly useful for teams integrating extension testing into CI/CD pipelines.
Developers choose Sinon-chrome because it provides accurate, schema-based API mocks that match real browser behavior, integrates seamlessly with Sinon.js for familiar testing patterns, and eliminates the need for browser automation in unit tests.
