Installation without Docker

The documentation here is not complete - consider using the dockered application environment.

My system is Ubuntu 16.04 - there are some other steps to be taken on Windows systems.

You may also try this installation in a virtual machine. It worked for me on an Ubuntu 16.04 (I hope all dependencies are included here).

Or build Docker containers using the supplied docker-compose.yml (and keep your project directory clean from node_modules). Sorry for repeating myself.

Installation on your OS (no docker)

Some software is required on a blank Ubuntu system:

$ sudo apt-get install bzip2 curl git imagemagick python wget

Install Node.js (my version is 4.4.7, don't use the version from Ubuntu repositories if it is still below 4.x) and use npm to install PhantomJS, CasperJS and SlimerJS (make sure you have Firefox installed for SlimerJS):

$ sudo npm install -g bower casperjs gulp phantomjs-prebuilt phplint slimerjs

Now you should clone this repository in a project directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/TinTom/frontend-development.git

Some node modules and bower components have to be installed:

$ cd frontend-development
$ npm install
$ bower install

Usage

Start the gulp with:

$ cd frontend-development
$ gulp

Build tasks are executed and the responsive-check server is started. Check the configurations and edit the hostname for the tests to your environment.

Headless Slimerjs

If you are on a Linux system (Mac might work too) you can switch the execution of SlimerJS to run headless with Xvfb.

$ sudo apt-get install xvfb
$ xvfb-run -a [-e /dev/stdout] casperjs test --engine=slimerjs test-forms.js --cfg=config/default.js
