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. Typically this runner is used in a CI (Continuous Integration) system.

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.
