grunt-dalek

Run browser tests with dalak

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-dalek --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-dalek');

The "dalek" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named dalek to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  dalek: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

Options

options.dalekfile

Type: Boolean Default: true

Grunt should load the config options from your Dalekfile

options.browser

Type: Array Default: ['phatnomjs']

The browsers you would like to test Note: For other browsers than PhantomJS, you need to have the Dalek browser plugin installed.

options.reporter

Type: Array Default: null

The reporters you would like to invoke Note: For other reporters than the grunt console output, you need to have the corresponding Dalek reporter plugin installed.

options.advanced

Type: Object Default: null

All the options you else would define in your Dalekfile. This overwrites the contents of your Dalekfile.
