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:

$ npm install karma-ievms --save-dev

Or from Github:

$ 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:

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

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

    # ...

Usage

Just run your tests!
