Cloud9

Cloud9 IDE is an open source web-based cloud integrated development environment that supports several programming languages, with a focus on the web stack (specifically JavaScript and NodeJS). It is written almost entirely in JavaScript, and uses NodeJS on the back-end.

There are two possibilities in order to run unit tests with Karma in Cloud9 IDE:

Capture the browser manually on the local machine #

Open http://<projectName>.<cloud9User>.c9.io/ in your browser.

Run Karma unit tests with PhantomJS in cloud9 IDE #

Install PhantomJS #

PhantomJS must be installed with npm install phantomjs.

Configure Karma #

The karma.conf.js file (tried it out for the AngularJS foodme app) must include the following entries:

browsers = ['PhantomJS'];
hostname = process.env.IP;
port = process.env.PORT;
runnerPort = 0;
