grunt-selenium-standalone

> Grunt tasks for running a standalone Selenium server using the popular selenium-standalone package

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt >=0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

``shell
npm install grunt-selenium-standalone --save-dev
`

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

`js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-selenium-standalone');
`

The "selenium_standalone" task

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named selenium_standalone to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

`js
grunt.initConfig({
selenium_standalone: {
options: {
stopOnExit: true
}
your_target: {
seleniumVersion: '2.53.0',
seleniumDownloadURL: 'http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com',
drivers: {
chrome: {
version: '2.21',
arch: process.arch,
baseURL: 'http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com'
},
ie: {
version: '2.53.0',
arch: 'ia32',
baseURL: 'http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com'
}
}
}
}
});
`

For each target of the task selenium_standalone you can issue multiple commands with command verbs.
The supported command verbs are:

- install: installs the web drivers which were specified for a given target
- start: starts the selenium server
- stop: stops the selenium server

#### stopOnExit

For each target, you can specify if the selenium server should stop automatically when the executing Grunt task run completes or fails. The default is false.
