Question: How does this work? #28

Open Gobliins opened 7 years ago

So i have a meteor/node app and want to do some automated ui tests with a headless chrome.

Normally i would install prortactor per npm and write some tests. For my UI tests i would use a docker which runs a standalone chrome since i have no gui. In my protractor config i configure protractor to use my selenium chrome. Then i run protractor.

So i am a bit confused about this project.

How is the workflow of this meant to be?

I have my node/meteor server running. I have this docker image running... and then what?

You should be able to use this image as a drop-in replacement for Protractor but with built-in Chrome, so to speak. So, in your example, you run node/meteor and then run this image passing it your protractor config. Let's say your config is called protractor-conf.js, the you would run it like so:

docker run -it --privileged --rm --net=host --shm-size 2g -v $(pwd):/protractor webnicer/protractor-headless protractor-conf.js

I hope that helps.

I'm leaving this open as a reminder to add an example to README.
