/karma-electron-launcher

A Karma Plugin. Launcher for github electron shell.

Primary LanguageJavaScript

karma-electron-launcher

Launcher for electron.

Small and experimental launcher based on Karma Nodewebkit Launcher. Is not official nor super tested and it follows the "it works for me"(tm) philosophy.

Installation

The easiest way is to keep karma-electron-launcher as a devDependency in your package.json.

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "~0.10",
    "karma-electron-launcher": "~0.0.1"
  }
}

You can do it on the command line by:

npm install karma-electron-launcher --save-dev

Configuration

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    browsers: ['Electron']
  });
};

You can pass list of browsers as a CLI argument too:

karma start --browsers Electron

Locally-installed Node modules

If you're using locally-installed Node modules via require in your code in the node_modules directory, you should be able to just require them, and they should be found by the testing environment.

Global dependencies

The launcher depens on the presence of electron in your executable PATH so before using it install electron globally:

npm install -g electron
