codeceptjs.app-runner

CodeceptJS plugin to automatically run your application
before tests.

Usage

Install package:

`` sh
$ yarn add --dev codecept.app-runner


or with npm:


$ npm install --save-dev codecept.app-runner
`

Then invoke startApp method provided by plugin inside bootstrap hook:

` js
const { startApp } = require('codecept.app-runner');

module.exports.config = {
// your usual codecept config

bootstrap: function(done) {
startApp({
host: 'localhost',
port: 8888,
appCommand: "node app.js",
appPath: __dirname
}, done);
}
}
`

API


startApp method accepts two parameters, first one is config object and
second is done callback which is called in order for Codecept to know when
it's time to run tests.

$3

- host - host on which Codecept should wait for application \*
- port - port on which Codecept should wait for application \*
- appCommand - command executed to run application
- appPath - absolute path to directory where application should be run

\* host and port` options are used only to wait for URL to start responding
to requests. Those are not passed to appCommand in any way. Of course this
needs to match host and port of running application.

Example

You can see sample configuration here

How it works?

Plugin is slightly improved code from this
tutorial wrapped
into npm package. Check it out if you want to know what's going on inside ;-)
