CrossBrowserTesting Tunnel

Obsolete: CrossBrowserTesting released their own node module for opening a tunnel, cbt_tunnels, which makes this hacky wrapper obsolete.

Create a Local Connection for the CrossBrowserTesting app. This is a wrapper around cbttunnel.jar, it returns a promise so you can actually know when the connection has been established. The project is inspired by selenium-standalone.

Install

$ npm install --save cbt-tunnel

Usage

You can pass the authentication key as an option:

import cbtTunnel from 'cbt-tunnel';

cbtTunnel({
  authKey: '<your authkey>'
})
  .then(() => {
    // success
  }, () => {
    // error
  });

or an environment variable:

import cbtTunnel from 'cbt-tunnel';

process.env.CBT_AUTH_KEY = '<your authkey>'

cbtTunnel()
  .then(() => {
    // success
  }, () => {
    // error
  });

You can find out what your authentication key is by logging into CrossBrowserTesting, clicking "Account" in the navigation bar and choosing "Account" from the dropdown menu.
