karma-testingbot-launcher

Run your tests on the TestingBot browser cloud!

Installation

Install karma-testingbot-launcher as a devDependency in your package.json:

npm install karma-testingbot-launcher --save-dev

Usage

This launcher is used to run your tests across many browsers and platforms on TestingBot. You can run the same tests on different browser versions and mobile browsers.

Adding karma-testingbot-launcher to an existing Karma config

To use and configure this launcher, you will need to add two properties to your top-level Karma config, testingbot and customLaunchers, set the browsers array to use TestingBot browsers, and add the testingbot reporter.

The testingbot object defines global properties for each browser/platform while the customLaunchers object configures individual browsers. The testingbot reporter will send back the test success state to https://testingbot.com. Here is a sample Karma config to get the launcher running:

module.exports = function(config) {
  // Check out https://testingbot.com/support/getting-started/browsers.html for all browser possibilities
  var customLaunchers = {
    TB_chrome: {
      base: 'TestingBot',
      browserName: 'chrome',
      platform: 'Windows 7',
      version: '35'
    },
    TB_firefox: {
      base: 'TestingBot',
      browserName: 'firefox',
      version: '30'
    }
  }

  config.set({

    // The rest of your karma config is here
    // ...
    testingbot: {
        testName: 'Web App Unit Tests'
    },
    customLaunchers: customLaunchers,
    browsers: Object.keys(customLaunchers),
    reporters: ['dots', 'testingbot'],
    singleRun: true
  })
}

Note: this config assumes that process.env.TB_KEY and process.env.TB_SECRET are set.
