@christian-bromann I want to have the starting of the selenium-standalone somehow incorporated into my test run, so that there is just one command to execute
presently I need to run 'selenium-standalone start' in some other window
I would recommend to use https://github.com/vvo/selenium-standalone .. just start it in your onPrepare hook
and then it takes care about running chromedriver and whatnot for you
whereas before gets executed per running capability test
onPrepare/onComplete are global hooks and before/after capability specific ones
say, I've a CI build server, and it continually builds new versions from different branches
and the builds all run on the same machine
how do I vary the port?
or maybe do that and set the port to the current build number
yeah, ok, I just don't know how to set it :)
will look around
you can pass some options to as parameter to that start method (see https://github.com/vvo/selenium-standalone#seleniumstartopts-cb)
but your selenium infrastructure should be independent from your projects and tests
I recommend to have a global server running somewhere in the background
your projects are still self contained then
I still don't see where I specify the port. I found 'selenium-standalone start -- -role node -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -port 5556' , but I guess this has to do with grids
oh btw, for now I'm doing commandling, not the start(), I'll migrate later
no --

Hello,
I have successfully written many tests using Mocha/Should/WebDriverIO using selenium stand alone server for local testing and using saucelabs for remote testing. I use mocha and/or grunt as the test runner. The project is on github: https://github.com/onewithhammer/web-driver-io-tutorial
Now I want to connect Travis CL to github to test my test scripts automatically. I created a .travis.yml file and I believe it is configured properly however I can't get my scripts to connect to Sauce Connect.
What needs to be changed to the code to support connecting to Sauce Connect (port 4445)?
Does that make sense? Or do you have an example of connecting to Sauce Connect?
user/key are youre sauce credentials and host is
localhost and port is 4445
Is there anyway to detect a script is being run from Travis CL so I can dynamically set the user/key + port and host???
