Options

CLI options

The following options may be passed to the CLI watai tool invocation.

Behavior modifiers

--config json_hash

The --config option allows for call-time configuration files overrides.

It takes a JSON hash, formatted according to the JSON configuration specification.

Example:

// my/suite/folder/config.json
{
	"baseURL": "http://127.0.0.1/",
	"timeout": 500
}

Invocation:

$ watai --config '{"timeout":10000}' my/suite/folder	# will execute the suite with a 10000 ms timeout

Helpers

--help

Displays Watai's synopsis and exits.

Exit code: 0, as you explicitly requested the help only.

--version

Displays a single line (since v0.4) containing the package.json version identifier, making it easy to match against.

Exit code: 0, as you explicitly requested the version only.

--installed

Does basic bootstrapping tests to check if Watai seems to be properly installed.

Exit code: 0 if Watai seems to be properly installed, 1 otherwise.

Developer

These options are mostly suited for developers of Watai itself or advanced users.

--setup json_hash

The --setup option allows for call-time setup override. It takes a JSON hash, formatted according to the JSON configuration specification.
