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

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

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:

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:

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

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

grunt.initConfig({
    'selenium_standalone': {
        your_target: {
            seleniumVersion: '2.45.0',
            seleniumDownloadURL: 'http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com',
            drivers: {
                chrome: {
                  version: '2.15',
                  arch: process.arch,
                  baseURL: 'http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com'
                },
                ie: {
                  version: '2.45',
                  arch: process.arch,
                  baseURL: 'http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com'
                }
            },
            stopOnExit: true
        }
    }
});

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

For each target you can specify if the selenium server should stop automatically when the called grunt task completes or fails. The default is false.

grunt test

0.1.0: initial implementation. Commands: install, start, stop are implemented.
