This will allow you to control your browser driver version, based on the browser version you are testing against.
Run GUI test(s) on your local environment:
Run your test with a configuration file:
` shell
./node_modules/eol-ft-runner/bin/ft-runner --config config.json
`
Run your test with CLI arguments:
` shell
./node_modules/eol-ft-runner/bin/ft-runner --config config.json --browser chrome --tags @sanity --cores 2
`
Run headless using --headless (only supported on chrome/firefox):
` shell
./node_modules/eol-ft-runner/bin/ft-runner --config config.json --browser chrome --tags @sanity --cores 2 --headless
`
Run using npm scripts:
` shell
npm run test -- --config config.json --browser chrome --tags @sanity --cores 2
`
In your package.json, the npm script test should point to the ft-runner executable: ./node_modules/eol-ft-runner/bin/ft-runner.browser can be 'chrome', 'firefox', 'safari', 'edge', 'android', 'ios'.tags are cucumber tags found on the top of a scenario inside a feature file. Tags are optional, and will execute all scenarios if not provided. To run multiple tags, use --tags "@sanity @smoke @etc".cores are the number of parallel threads of execution specified in the format "--cores 3" or "--cores 10". Cores are optional, and will run on 2 cores if not specified. For Safari & Edge browsers, cores will be defaulted to 1 due to their respective browser instance restrictions.
