Extend or modify the syntax of the config file

[CalmNad]

Propose to extend or modify the syntax for the config file.

Instead:

browsers = ['Chrome'];

Use:

browsers = {
    'Chrome':  '--disable-web-security --some-other-keys'
};

or

browsers = {
    'Chrome':  [
        '--disable-web-security',
        '--some-other-keys'
    ]
};

Or add browsers = {...} as alternative syntax.

I had somewhat the same idea, as there will be more options for browsers and reporters. But I would suggest something along the lines of

browsers = {
  // user specified values
  chrome: {
    args: [
        '--disable-web-security',
        '--some-other-keys'
    ],
    headless: true
  },
  // default values
  firefox: {}
};

But it should be backwards compatible and still accept

browsers = ['chrome', 'firefox'];

which would just use the default values as options.

browsers should be always an array, so based on Friedel's:

browsers = [{
  name: 'chrome', // maybe "type" or something
  args: ['--disabled-web-security'],
  headless: true
}, {
  name: 'Firefox'
}];

great feature.

Next time I don't need to open chrome manually to provide args --disable-web-security.

Has anyone started working on this?

[dignifiedquire]

Not that I know of. I'm busy with finishing the docs so we can finally release 0.6. But if you have time feel free to start :)

Do not forget about PhantomJS ("We need more pylons" i.e. agrs (--web-security=false :)

Guys, check out #533

[vojtajina]

The new config syntax has already landed in the master, so I'm closing this.

[vojtajina]

It looks like this:

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    browsers: ['chrome_without_security'],
    customLaunchers: {
      chrome_without_security: {
        base: 'Chrome',
        flags: ['--web-security-disabled']
      }
    }
  });
};

Which can be sued from CLI:

karma start --browsers chrome_without_security

See #533 #604 for more.
