cross-tester

The tool allows to execute piece of JavaScript code in many browsers (using SauceLabs or BrowserStack Selenium/Appium grid) and compare results for each one.

Installation

npm install cross-tester

Usage

import runCode from 'cross-tester';

runCode({
  provider: 'saucelabs or browserstack', // chose one of those
  code: 'window.__results__.push(666)', // push anything to global __results__
  // array if you want to see it in results; you don't have to provide a code
  url: 'http://output.jsbin.com/kovanuyiqu', // URL to website with code is OK too
  timeout: 2000 // specify, how long to wait for results (1000 ms is defualt)
  credentials: {
    userName: 'myUserName',
    accessToken: 'myAccessToken'
  },
  browsers: [{
    displayName: 'Google Chrome on Mac',
    name: 'chrome',
    version: '46',
    os: 'os x',
    osVersion: '10.10'
  }, {
    displayName: 'Mozilla Firefox on Mac',
    name: 'firefox',
    version: '42',
    os: 'os x',
    osVersion: '10.10'
  }, {
    displayName: 'Safari Desktop',
    name: 'safari',
    version: '9',
    os: 'os x',
    osVersion: '10.11'
  }, {
    displayName: 'Internet Explorer',
    name: 'internet explorer',
    version: '11',
    os: 'windows',
    osVersion: '8.1'
  }, {
    displayName: 'MS Edge',
    name: 'edge',
    // take the only available version in SL and BS; it's behavior specific for
    // Microsoft Edge
    version: undefined,
    os: 'windows',
    osVersion: '10'
  }, {
    displayName: 'Android Browser',
    name: 'android browser',
    version: '5.0',
    os: 'android',
    osVersion: '5'
  }, {
    displayName: 'iPhone Safari',
    name: 'safari mobile',
    version: '9.0',
    os: 'ios',
    osVersion: '9.0',
    device: 'iphone'
  }]
}).then(
  (results) => console.log(results),
  // promise will be rejected only when error inside the tester occured, it's
  // resolved even if test in one of the browsers failed
  (err) => console.error(err)
);

CLI

It's also possible to use simple CLI interface. You can find it as cross-tester in your path after installing the package globally (or inside ./node_modules/.bin directory in case of local installation). Provide a name of Selenium/Appium grid service of your choice with -p parameter, user and access token with -u and -a (those three are only required parameters), code with -c (or URL with -s) and JSON file containing list of browsers with -b. Full featured CLI program is coming!

Notes

Some mobile browsers on BrowserStack doesn't work really well. It seems like issue of the service, but maybe can be resolved on client side. Help is appreciated.
