testmate

A humble cross node/browser/saucelabs test runner

Write tests once, run them in

1. Node
2. local Browsers using Selenium
3. remote Browsers / Plattforms using saucelabs.

testmate is very opiniated. It runs tests using

• mocha
• chai
• browserify for browser testing.

Example

Let's assume this is your test/test-mylib.js

var myLib = require('./my-lib');
describe('myLib', function () {
  it('should pass', function () {
    expect(myLib('foo')).to.be('bar');
  });
});

Then you can run it with different clients

# run in node (default)
testmate --client=node test/test-mylib.js

# run in local browser
testmate --client=selenium:firefox test/test-mylib.js

# run in any browser/plattform/version using saucelabs
SAUCE_USERNAME="user" SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY="key" testmate client="saucelabs:internet explorer:10:Windows 8" test/test-mylib.js

# instead of passing --client, you can also set the TEST_CLIENT env variable
