1 # Performance test example: performance of click event in the inspector
3 Let's look at a trivial but practical example and add a simple test to measure the performance of a click in the inspector.
5 First we create a file under [tests/inspector](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/talos/talos/tests/devtools/addon/content/tests/inspector) since we are writing an inspector test. We call the file `click.js`.
7 We will use a dummy test document here: `data:text/html,click test document`.
9 We prepare the imports needed to write the test, from head.js and inspector-helper.js:
10 - `testSetup`, `testTeardown`, `openToolbox` and `runTest` from head.js
11 - `reloadInspectorAndLog` from inspector-helper.js
13 The full code for the test looks as follows:
16 reloadInspectorAndLog,
17 } = require("devtools/docs/tests/inspector-helpers");
24 } = require("devtools/docs/head");
26 module.exports = async function() {
27 // Define here your custom document via a data URI:
28 const url = "data:text/html,click test document";
31 const toolbox = await openToolbox("inspector");
33 const inspector = toolbox.getPanel("inspector");
34 const window = inspector.panelWin; // Get inspector's panel window object
35 const body = window.document.body;
37 await new Promise(resolve => {
38 const test = runTest("inspector.click");
39 body.addEventListener("click", function () {
46 // Check if the inspector reload is impacted by click
47 await reloadInspectorAndLog("click", toolbox);
53 Finally we add an entry in [damp-tests.js](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/talos/talos/tests/devtools/addon/content/damp-tests.js):
56 name: "inspector.click",
57 path: "inspector/click.js",
59 "Measure the time to click in the inspector, and reload the inspector",
63 Since this is an inspector test, we add it under `TEST_SUITES.INSPECTOR`, which contains all the tests which will run with the `damp-inspector` test suite in continuous integration. The test is still part of the overall `damp` suite by default, there is no action needed to ensure that.
65 Then we can run our test with:
67 ./mach talos-test --suite damp --subtest inspector.click
