This module is a browser plugin for DalekJS.
It provides all a WebDriverServer & browser launcher for Google Chrome.

The browser plugin can be installed with the following command:

``
$ npm install dalek-browser-chrome --save-dev
`

You can use the browser plugin by adding a config option to the your Dalekfile

`
"browser": ["chrome"]
`

Or you can tell Dalek that it should test in this browser via the command line:

`
$ dalek mytest.js -b chrome
`

The Webdriver Server tries to open Port 9002 by default,
if this port is blocked, it tries to use a port between 9003 & 9092
You can specifiy a different port from within your Dalekfile like so:

`
"browsers": [{
"chrome": {
"port": 5555
}
}]
`

It is also possible to specify a range of ports:

`
"browsers": [{
"chrome": {
"portRange": [6100, 6120]
}
}]
`

If you would like to test Chrome Canary oder Chromium releases, you can simply apply a snd. argument,
which defines the browser type:

`
$ dalek mytest.js -b chrome:canary
`

for canary, and if you would like to use chromium, just append :chromium:

`
$ dalek mytest.js -b chrome:chromium
`

This will only work if you installed your browser in the default locations,
if the browsers binary is located in a non default location, you are able to specify
its location in your Dalekfile:

`javascript
"browsers": [{
"chrome": {
"binary": "/Applications/Custom\ Located\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"
}
}]
`

This also works for the canary & chromium builds

`javascript
"browsers": [{
"chrome": {
"binary": "/Applications/Custom\ Located\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"
}
}]
`

`
$ dalek mytest.js -b chrome
`

Set chromeOptions to start a custom instance of Chrome with flags / command lines switches enabled
for various experimental features. All command line switches for Chrome.

`javascript
"browsers": [{
"chrome": {
"chromeOptions": {
"args": ["enable-experimental-web-platform-features", "js-flags=--harmony"]
}
}
}]
`
