IE support about testium HOT 4 CLOSED

If your machine has IE installed, you should be able to set browser: 'internet explorer' in the testium options.

If not, you should be able to set up selenium on a remote server (or local virtual machine) and start it up connected to IE. Then, in your testium options, you can specify seleniumServer: 'http://localhost:9999/wd/hub'.

Please reopen this issue if that doesn't work for you OR if you had something else in mind.

Ah, I see, but it looks IE is not supported because of validateBrowser:

https://github.com/groupon/testium/blob/master/src/test_runner/index.coffee#L50

validateBrowser = (browser) ->
  return browser if browser in ['phantomjs', 'firefox', 'chrome']
  return 'phantomjs' if !browser?

  throw new Error "Browser not supported by Testium: #{browser}"

I have tried with setting of browser: 'internet explorer' (IE is not installed in my PC actually), but it throws an error:

Error: Browser not supported by Testium: internet explorer

Am I missing something?

You are right! Here's a PR to remove that restriction. #27

You won't be able to use browser: 'internet explorer' if you don't have IE installed on your machine.

Fixed in 1.3.1
