⚠️ This repository has been deprecated., and development has been moved into the main Intern repository.
This module gives Intern a friendly command line interface that works like a typical POSIX application.
Install it globally:
$ npm install -g @theintern/cli
You can then run Intern unit tests with:
$ intern run
When used with Intern 3, intern-cli will use Intern’s Node client by default, and it assumes the test config is located at ./tests/intern.js. The “runner” runner can be invoked with the -w/--webdriver flag.
When used with Intern 4, intern-cli will run all functional and unit tests by default (this is Intern 4‘s default behavior). WebDriver tests can be skipped with the -n/--node flag, and Node unit tests can be skipped with the -w/--webdriver flag. The cli assumes the test config is at intern.json.
Intern-cli provides top level help when run with no arguments:
$ intern
Usage: intern [options] [command]
