karma-xvfb-chrome-launcher
Launcher for Google Chrome, Google Chrome Canary and Google Chromium, using Xvfb. Blatantly copied from karma-xvfb-chrome-launcher.
Installation
The easiest way is to keep karma-xvfb-chrome-launcher
as a devDependency in your package.json
,
by running
$ npm install karma-xvfb-chrome-launcher --save-dev
Configuration
// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
browsers: ['Chrome', 'Chrome_without_security'], // You may use 'ChromeCanary' or 'Chromium' as well
// you can define custom flags
customLaunchers: {
Chrome_without_security: {
base: 'Chrome',
flags: ['--disable-web-security']
}
}
})
}
The --user-data-dir
is set to a temporary directory but can be overridden on a custom launcher as shown below.
One reason to do this is to have a permanent Chrome user data directory inside the project directory to be able to
install plugins there (e.g. JetBrains IDE Support plugin).
customLaunchers: {
Chrome_with_debugging: {
base: 'Chrome',
chromeDataDir: path.resolve(__dirname, '.chrome')
}
}
You can pass list of browsers as a CLI argument too:
$ karma start --browsers Chrome,Chrome_without_security
