Running Dalekjs Tests on Saucelabs with Grunt

Question

what i want:

run dalekjs-tests on saucelabs with grunt

what i did:

1. installed grunt-dalek, dalek-driver-sauce

2. created grunt config:

        dalek: {
          options: {
            driver: ['sauce'],
            browser: ['chrome'],
            advanced: {
              "driver.sauce": {
                user: "xxx",
                key: "xxx"
              }
            }
          }
        }
   

what my problem is

Warning: Cannot read property '0' of null Use --force to continue.

Answer 1

finally i had some time to dig deeper into this. the error came from dalek-driver-sauce.

Function _verfiyBrowserConfig inside browser.js caused the problem.

var browser = browsers[0][browserName] || null;

in my config i was missing the browsers property.

the dalek-driver-sauce docs are kind of misleading there:

if you would like to have a more control over the browser/OS combinations that are available, you are able to configure you custom combinations

the browsers config inside advanced-config is mandatory!

a final working grunt-config looked like this:

dalek: {
  options: {
    driver: ['sauce'],
    advanced: {
      "driver.sauce": {
        user: "xxx",
        key: "xxx"
      },
      browsers: [{
        chrome: {
          "platform": "OS X 10.6",
          "actAs": "chrome",
          "version": 27
        }
      }]
    }
  },
  mytest: ['test.js']
}
