The "flexunit" task

Overview

grunt.initConfig({
    flexunit: {
        test: {
            options: {
                port: 0,
                host: '127.0.0.1',
                reporter: 'Junit',
                output: 'a.xml',
                swfFiles: ['http://localhost/swf/player_zero/a.swf'],
                browser: 'Firefox'
            }
        }
    }
});

Options

options.port

Type: Int Default value: 0

A int value of port to listen to, defaults to 0. The value 0 is a bit special: in this case, server will choose ports randomly and try and retry listening to them until it succeed to listen.

options.host

Type: String Default value: null

A string value or null that is used as a hostname the server listen to. If set to null accept connections directed to any address.

options.reporter

Type: String Default value: 'Junit'

A string value of reporter name to use. See document of flexunit-server to find available reporters.

options.output

Type: String Default: null

A string value of filename the reporter writes the result to. Set to null to stdout result.

options.httpServerRoot

Type: String Default: process.cwd()

A string of directory path which http server should use as a root. By default it will be the current directory where grunt is run.

options.swfFiles

Type: Array Default: []

An Array of URLs of flexunit swf files to run. Should be relative to options.httpServerRoot.

options.browser

Type: String Default: 'Firefox'

The browser to open swfFiles.

options.useXvfb

Type: String Default: 'auto'

Must be either 'auto', 'always', 'yes', 'never', 'no'.

A string that decides whether the browser should be run within xvfb-run.

When this option is enabled xvfb-run command is required, which is usually included in xvfb or X Virtual FrameBuffer package. Flexunit can run in headless when this option is enabled. When set to 'auto', use xvfb if

$DISPLAY is not set
xvfb-run is found

Port to Connect

As described above, the port number where flexunit-server listens will be decided randomly when 0 is specified as a port option. The port flexunit-server actually listens will be told to swf files by appending ciport=<port> parameter to the URLs, so the swf files should get this value for example by means of loaderInfo.paramters object.
