Multi-browser testing

To test using multiple browsers you need to use environment variable like so: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "export CUCUMBER_BROWSERS=2", "language": "shell" } ] } [/block] This will expose the browser instances in global browser.instances variable. There are different ways of using this, but here is some code example for inspiration: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "var browsers;\n\nthis.Before(function() {\n browsers = {\n Alice: browser.instances[0],\n Bob: browser.instances[1]\n };\n})\n\nthis.Given(/^([^ ]*) go(?:es)? to \"([^\"]*)\"$/, function (person, relativePath) {\n getBrowserFor(person).url(url.resolve(process.env.ROOT_URL, relativePath));\n});\n\nthis.Then(/^([^ ]*) sees? \"([^\"]*)\" label$/, function (person, label) {\n var _labelSelector = \"//*//label[text()='\" + label + \"']\";\n expect(getBrowserFor(person).isVisible(_labelSelector)).toBe(true);\n});\n\n\nfunction getBrowserFor(person) {\n return (person === 'Both') ? browser : browsers[person];\n}", "language": "javascript" } ] } [/block] Then you can use Bob and Alice in your .feature files: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": " Scenario: Login into the system\n Given Both go to \"/\"\n Then Alice sees \"Very nice\" label\n And Bob sees \"Very nice\" label", "language": "text" } ] } [/block] In production code you'd probably want to make the browsers variable global and expose it to your step definitions.
