gulp-axe-webdriver

The task

Usage

var gulp = require('gulp');
var axe = require('gulp-axe-webdriver');
 
gulp.task('axe', function() {
  var options = {
    saveOutputIn: 'allHtml.json',
    urls: ['http://www.foobar-url-1/', 'http://www.foobar-url-2/']
  };
  return axe(options);
});

var gulp = require('gulp');
var axe = require('gulp-axe-webdriver');
 
gulp.task('axe', function() {
  var options = {
    saveOutputIn: 'allHtml.json',
    urls: ['src/file2.html']
  };
  return axe(options);	
});

With Headless Chrome

var gulp = require('gulp');
var axe = require('gulp-axe-webdriver');
 
gulp.task('axe', function() {

    saveOutputIn: 'allHtml.json',
    headless: true,
    urls: ['src/file2.html']
  };
  return axe(options);	
});

With Glob patterns

var gulp = require('gulp');
var axe = require('gulp-axe-webdriver');
 
gulp.task('axe', function() {
  var options = {
    saveOutputIn: 'allHtml.json',
    urls: ['src/*.html', 'http://www.foobar-url-2/']
  };
  return axe(options);
});
