I have this bookmarked and use it quite often https://github.com/xdissent/ievms. Only reason to re-run it is some Windows VMs require activation after 30 days.
Similar documentation for testing manually in Sauce Labs is also a need
This is what I used for IE VMs https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/
Tip for IE VMs, after installing the VM and running the windows updates, create a snapshot in Virtual Box so you can rollback.
Sauce instructions (note, says Sauce gulp command is not working, but that has been fixed): https://github.com/cfpb/cfgov-refresh/blob/master/docs/testing.md#sauce-connect---send-tests-to-the-cloud
Updated Sauce testing settings in https://github.com/cfpb/cfgov-refresh/pull/3461
@marcesher posted this new Sauce Labs service in chat - private mobile device lab testing, seems especially useful for manual debugging https://saucelabs.com/enterprise/private-device-cloud
Microsoft officially makes VMs available for testing IE and Edge at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/. They can be downloaded one at a time from that site and set up individually, but there is a GitHub repository that provides a script for mass installation: https://github.com/xdissent/ievms.
Instructions follow for individual installations, because my original run of IEVMS_VERSIONS="10 EDGE"
failed due to the 10 VM needing the REUSE_WIN7="no"
option on my machine.
brew install unar
(see "Notes and further explanations")brew install unar
(if you didn't already)When attempting to brew install unar
, I got an error saying
Error: Xcode alone is not sufficient on Sierra.
Install the Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install
I ran the exact command given. It prompted me to accept a license agreement and did its thing. After that, I was able to run brew install unar
successfully. If you have issues with this, you may need to contact Mac Engineering for assistance fixing your Xcode.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | env IEVMS_VERSIONS="8 9 10 11 EDGE" bash
IE 9 - Win7: Got stuck on a restart prompt. Selected Restart Later, then Install on Oracle Corporation install dialog (twice).
I noticed on Friday that when I tried to run IE 7, it had not automatically run the updater to update IE9 to IE11, as I assumed it had. Need to investigate whether that's a bug or something I should've known to do.
