Mozilla Runner

Build Status

Node wrapper for creating a child process (spawn) of a gecko runtime firefox / b2g-desktop.

Usage

var run = require('mozilla-runner').run;
 
// see lib/run.js for all of the options
var options {
  // profile: '/path/to/profile' (product profile)
  // url: 'initial url to start at'
  // argv: ['-jsconsole'] extra flags that this library does not have special handling for
 
  // run is smart enoguh to figure out where the binary is based on the product name itself.
  // for example on OSX firefox is actually at /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin
  // this means that you safely pass in a directory and expect it to find the binary on linux or OSX.
  product: 'firefox'
};
 
// options are optional
run('firefox', options, function(err, child) {
  // child is a subprocess that is running firefox
 
  // ... (do stuff with process)  
  process.kill(); // close it
});
