sadly I don’t have an open source version of the tester. I did kind of write a testing framework, but it’s not really ready to be open sourced anytime soon. It’s also somewhat tightly integrated into a set of releases, that’s probably more than you would need.
In your case I would recommand making a custom mix task.
oh you will very much want to do this at the head of your mix task or else you’ll be wondering why nothing works:
Application.ensure_all_started(:hound)
Chromedriver.ensure_running()
# linux, very hacky, MacOS - ymmv
@spec ensure_running(non_neg_integer) :: :ok
def ensure_running(sleep_time \\ 500) do
{ps, _} = System.cmd("ps", ["aux"])
unless ps =~ "chromedriver" do
chromedriver_executable = System.find_executable("chromedriver")
{:ok, _pid} = Task.start(fn ->
System.cmd(chromedriver_executable, [], stderr_to_stdout: true)
end)
Process.sleep(sleep_time)
end
:ok
end
Gotcha! This is what I was looking for. I’ll update this post when I have built a generic testing framework.
Have you gotten anywhere with this? I’ve found myself in exactly your situation and would love to know if you figured out a great way to do it!
