karma-ievms
===========

Karma launcher for
ievms virtual machines.


This Karma plugin adds browser launchers for ievms virtual machines. This
allows for testing across multiple versions of Internet Explorer simultaneously.

Requirements
------------

You must have installed whichever IE virtual machines you wish to use with
ievms or
iectrl.

Installation
------------

Install the plugin from npm:

``sh
$ npm install karma-ievms --save-dev
`

Or from Github:

`sh
$ npm install 'git+https://github.com/xdissent/karma-ievms.git' --save-dev
`

Install the ievms virtual machines on which you wish to test. See the
ievms homepage or
iectrl for further instructions.

Add ievms virtual machine names to the browsers key in your Karma
configuration:

`coffee
module.exports = (config) ->
config.set

# Start these browsers:
browsers = [
'IE8 - WinXP'
'IE9 - Win7'
'IE10 - Win7'
]

# ...
`


Usage
-----

Just run your tests!

`sh
$ karma start

If you'd like to see the debug output from ievms/iectrl, set the DEBUG
environment variable to iectrl:*:

`sh
$ export DEBUG='iectrl:*' # for bash
`

`sh
$ set -x DEBUG 'iectrl:*' # for fish
