How to write a driver?

If you know how to open and close a browser(or some other application), it's very very easy to write a driver for it.

All steps with pseudo-code.

  1. Set command line options

    • -s, --server: default is http://server.totorojs.org:9999
  2. Link to server by socket and init.

    var socket = socketClient.connect({{server}} + '/__labor')
    // NOTE: the namespace of socket is '/__labor'
    
    socket.on('connect', function() {
      var initInfo = {
        // if the app you drive is not a browser
        // group is required, it could be any string you like
        group: 'groupName',
        device: { name: 'mac' },
        os: { name: 'macosx', version: '13.1.0' },
        agent: { name: 'chrome', version:'35.0.1916.114' }
      }
    
      socket.emit('init', initInfo)
    })
    
  3. Open or close specified browser when received corresponding directives.

    socket.on('add', function(data) {
      /*
       * structure of data
       * {
       *   orderId: {{orderId}},
       *   laborId: {{laborId}},
       *   laborTrait: {{labor trait info, the same as init info}},
       *   runner: {{test runner, typically be a url}}
       * }
       */
      var key = data.orderId + '-' + data.laborId
      orders[key] = open(runner)
    })
    
    socket.on('remove', function(data) {
      // the data structure is the same as 'add' event's but without the laborTrait
      var key = data.orderId + '-' + data.laborId
      close(orders[key])
      ;delete orders[key]
    })
    
  4. Close all browsers when dirver exits.
