karma-ie-launcher

 

  

> Launcher for Internet Explorer.

Installation

The easiest way is to keep karma-ie-launcher as a devDependency, by running

``bash
npm install karma-ie-launcher --save-dev
`

Configuration


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

You can pass list of browsers as a CLI argument too:
`bash
karma start --browsers IE
`

You can run IE in emulation mode by setting the 'x-ua-compatible' option:
`js
customLaunchers: {
IE9: {
base: 'IE',
'x-ua-compatible': 'IE=EmulateIE9'
},
IE8: {
base: 'IE',
'x-ua-compatible': 'IE=EmulateIE8'
}
}
`

Please note that since v0.2.0 default behaviour of launching Internet Explorer has changed.
Now it runs using system-wide configuration (uses same settings as if you would run it manually) but prior to v0.2.0 it was spawned with -extoff flag set explicitly, so all extensions were disabled.

If you expect the same behaviour as it was before v0.2.0, Karma configuration should be slightly changed:
- create new customLauncher configuration (IE_no_addons is used in an example below) with custom flags (in our case it is -extoff only)
- browser IE in browsers field should be replaced with your new custom launcher name
`js
browsers: ['IE_no_addons'],
customLaunchers: {
IE_no_addons: {
base: 'IE',
flags: ['-extoff']
}
}
