Install Node.JS and npm behind a firewall / company proxy - Galen Framework




Problem: Unable to install npm behind the proxy

Solution: Similar to what we did when we installed git http://go-gaga-over-testing.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/setup-github-within-companys-firewall.html behind a company's firewall we shall edit the config settings for Node


  1. The best way to install npm is to install node using the node.js installer. npm is installed as part of node.
  2. The problem occurs when you clone the Node repository from Github
  3. npm uses a configuration file and it can be added to via the command line npm config set ...
  4. To get packages behind a proxy
    1. npm config set strict-ssl false
    2. npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/"
    3. npm config set proxy http://"username:password"@proxy:8080
    4. npm config set https-proxy http://proxy-server-address:8080 
Update: Try changing to npm config set registry "https://registry.npmjs.org/"

Update:

 You can skip the username password and just hardcode the proxy and registry URL so that npm wouldn’t have to look for it, so in the end, I had an .npmrc that looked like this:

proxy=http://proxy details:8080
https_proxy=http://proxy details:8080
strict-ssl=false
ca=null
registry=http://registry.npmjs.org/

And If you are installing the Galen Framework on Windows just like me then use the manual installer:

Software Testing @ Microsoft

Image
In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced. Think about it this way: it just doesn't make sense for test manager to spend their headcount (SDETs) on something can be easily outsourced.  Until 2005, Microso

Trim / Remove spaces in Xpath?

Image
If you are wondering how you can trim the spaces in your xpath, this is how: The normalize-space function strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of white-space characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string. Example : Which one is better? //td[starts-with(normalize-space(),'Text to Trim')] //td[starts-with(normalize-space(text()),' Text to Trim ')] The second option is better as it targets at the specific nodes More string functions in XPATH: Functions Description starts-with( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string starts with the second string. contains( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string contains the second string. substring( string offset length ) Returns a section of the string. The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
