This code automates the login process to multiple websites defined in a JSON file, likely for the purpose of web scraping or further interaction, using a custom multiCrawl function. It reads credentials from a local file and executes the logins asynchronously, sending results and handling errors through a testing framework.

Run example

npm run import -- "test sites logins"

test sites logins

var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
var importer = require('../Core');
var multiCrawl = importer.import("multi crawl");

var PROFILE_PATH = process.env.HOME || process.env.HOMEPATH || process.env.USERPROFILE;
var PASSWORDS_FILE = path.join(PROFILE_PATH, '.credentials', 'passwords.json');

function testLogins() {
    var sites = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(PASSWORDS_FILE)).map(s => s.host);
    sites = [
        'twitter.com',
        'linkedin.com',
        /*
        'angel.co',
        'linkedin.com',
        'facebook.com',
        'github.com',
        'plus.google.com'
        */
    ];

    console.log(sites);
    return multiCrawl(sites.map(s => 'https://' + s), 'log in multiple sites');    
}
module.exports = testLogins;

if(typeof $ !== 'undefined') {
    $.async();
    testLogins()
        .then(r => $.sendResult(r))
        .catch(e => $.sendError(e))
}

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const importer = require('../Core');
const multiCrawl = importer.import('multi crawl');

// Define constants for better readability and maintainability
const PROFILE_PATH = getProfilePath();
const PASSWORDS_FILE = path.join(PROFILE_PATH, '.credentials', 'passwords.json');

/**
 * Test logins for multiple sites.
 * 
 * @returns {Promise} A promise resolving with the result of multiCrawl.
 */
function testLogins() {
    // Try to load passwords from file, and fallback to default sites if fails.
    const sites = loadPasswords() || getSites();
    
    console.log(sites);
    return multiCrawl(sites.map(s => 'https://' + s), 'log in multiple sites');
}

// Helper function to load passwords from file
function loadPasswords() {
    try {
        return JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(PASSWORDS_FILE)).map(s => s.host);
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(`Error loading passwords from file: ${e}`);
        return null;
    }
}

// Helper function to get default sites
function getSites() {
    // TODO: Move default sites to a separate config file or constants.
    return [
        'twitter.com',
        'linkedin.com',
        // 'angel.co',
        // 'facebook.com',
        // 'github.com',
        // 'plus.google.com'
    ];
}

// Helper function to get profile path
function getProfilePath() {
    // TODO: Use a more robust method to get profile path (e.g. user.home).
    return process.env.HOME || process.env.HOMEPATH || process.env.USERPROFILE;
}

module.exports = testLogins;

if (typeof $!== 'undefined') {
    $.async();
    testLogins()
       .then(r => $.sendResult(r))
       .catch(e => $.sendError(e));
}

This code snippet is designed to automate the login process to multiple websites and potentially scrape or interact with them. Here's a breakdown:

Dependencies:

• fs: Node.js built-in module for file system operations (reading files).
• path: Node.js built-in module for working with file paths.
• importer: A custom module (likely providing utility functions and potentially Selenium integration).
• multiCrawl: A function imported from the importer module, presumably responsible for crawling multiple websites concurrently.

Variables:

• PROFILE_PATH: Determines the user's home directory.
• PASSWORDS_FILE: Specifies the path to a JSON file containing website credentials (hostnames and passwords).

Function:

• testLogins():
  • Reads the passwords.json file and extracts an array of website hostnames.
  • Defines an array sites containing the hostnames to be crawled (can be customized).
  • Calls multiCrawl with the list of websites and a description of the task.
  • Returns a promise that resolves with the results of the crawling process.

Module Exports:

• Exports the testLogins function, making it available for use in other parts of the application.

Execution:

• The if(typeof $ !== 'undefined') block appears to be a conditional statement for running the code in a specific environment (possibly a testing framework).
• If the environment supports $, it executes testLogins() asynchronously, sends the results to $.sendResult, and handles potential errors using $.sendError.
