Chrome

This module is a browser plugin for DalekJS. It provides all a WebDriverServer & browser launcher for Google Chrome.

The browser plugin can be installed with the following command:

 $ npm install dalek-browser-chrome --save-dev
 

You can use the browser plugin by adding a config option to the your Dalekfile

 "browser": ["chrome"]
 

Or you can tell Dalek that it should test in this browser via the command line:

 $ dalek mytest.js -b chrome
 

The Webdriver Server tries to open Port 9002 by default, if this port is blocked, it tries to use a port between 9003 & 9092 You can specifiy a different port from within your Dalekfile like so:

 "browsers": [{
   "chrome": {
     "port": 5555 
   }
 }]
 

It is also possible to specify a range of ports:

 "browsers": [{
   "chrome": {
     "portRange": [6100, 6120] 
   }
 }]
 

If you would like to test Chrome Canary oder Chromium releases, you can simply apply a snd. argument, which defines the browser type:

 $ dalek mytest.js -b chrome:canary
 

for canary, and if you would like to use chromium, just append :chromium:

 $ dalek mytest.js -b chrome:chromium
 

This will only work if you installed your browser in the default locations, if the browsers binary is located in a non default location, you are able to specify its location in your Dalekfile:

 "browsers": [{
   "chrome": {
     "binary": "/Applications/Custom Located Chrome.app/MacOS/Contents/Chrome" 
   }
 }]
 

This also works for the canary & chromium builds

 "browsers": [{
   "chrome": {
     "binary": "/Applications/Custom Located Chrome.app/MacOS/Contents/Chrome" 
   }
 }]
