gesalakacula

Generate SauceLabs Karma Custom Launchers --- aka --- Ge-Sa-La-Ka-Cu-La-aaaaa

It's intention is to be used with karma and karma-sauce-launcher, which runs unit tests on the Sauce Labs browsers.

Installation

gesalakacula can be installed using

$ npm i -D gesalakacula

Usage

// In your karma.conf.js
var geSaLaKaCuLa = require('gesalakacula');

module.exports = function(config) {
  var customLaunchers = geSaLaKaCuLa({
    'Windows 7': {
      'internet explorer': '8..11'
    }
  })

  // [...]

  config.browsers = Object.keys(customLaunchers);
  config.customLaunchers = customLaunchers;
});

Config Object

gesalakacula generate launchers from a config object. This one has 3 main areas:

{
  // The platforms      (1)
  'Linux': { 
    // The browsers     (2)
    'chrome': [
      // The versions   (3)
    ]
  }
}

You're suppose to use the Sauce Labs platform(1)/browser(2)/versions(3) combos.

For the versions(3) you can use an array or a range string like : \d+..\d+.

Extra: Re-Ka-La-Re-Ka-La-Re-Ka-La

Sauce Labs provide free accounts for open source project with

• Unlimited testing minutes
• 5 parallel tests

Karma is a bit difficult to configure with Sauce Labs. Like there is no "queue" principal, Karma try to connect to all the browsers at the same time. There for when a browser in the Sauce Labs queue will often reach the browserDisconnectTimeout and cause the test to fail without actually running them.

So I came with a simple idea of recursively restarting a karma server with the 5 parallel browsers limit of Sauce Labs.

Thus, there is not potential browserDisconnectTimeout of browser in the Sauce Labs queue...

Usage

var reKaLa = geSaLaKaCuLa.recursiveKarmaLauncher;

reKaLa({
  karma: require('karma').server,
  customLaunchers: geSaLaKaCuLa({'Linux': {'chrome': '20..30'}})
}, function (code){
  console.log('reKaLa end with ', code);
  process.exit(code);
});

.recursiveKarmaLauncher(opts, doneCallback)

opts : The options for reKaLa (TODO can be using as extended karma options ?)

require :

{
  karma: require('karma').server
}

default :

{
  configFile: './karma.conf.js',
  customLaunchers: {},
  maxConcurrentRun : 5
}

doneCallback: will be call at the recursion end with the incremented exit code (of each karma run).
