karma-electron-launcher

Launcher for electron.

Karma launcher for GitHub Electron inspired by Karma Nodewebkit Launcher.

Installation

The easiest way is to keep karma-electron-launcher as a devDependency in your package.json.

For electron<=0.34.3, use karma-electron-launcher@~0.0.5.

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "~0.10",
    "karma-electron-launcher": "~0.1.0"
  }
}

You can do it on the command line by:

npm install karma-electron-launcher --save-dev

Configuration

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    browsers: ['Electron']
  });
};

You can pass list of browsers as a CLI argument too:

karma start --browsers Electron

Locally-installed Node modules

If you're using locally-installed Node modules via require in your code in the node_modules directory, you should be able to just require them, and they should be found by the testing environment.

Configuring the Electron BrowserWindow

Options passed to the new BrowserWindow() constructor can be defined by adding an electronOpts object to your karma config. Eg.

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    browsers: ['Electron'],
    electronOpts: {
      title: 'my window title',
      // ...
    }
  });
};

Available options are specified in the Electron docs. By default, only the window dimensions (400x300) are set.
