There should be a flag for the test runner to support running in browsers that aren't officially supported. If it's passed, the runner should print a URL that loads the host page. It should then wait until N browsers have connected, where N is the number of times the flag was passed, before running the tests.

Can this be used for tests run in batch mode? This would need some way to read the URL from stdout, parse the output, and pass it as parameter to a command that actually launches the browser.

@zoechi Theoretically yes, but if you have an automated way to launch your browser you should just write a launcher for it—either submit a built-in launcher, or make a plugin with #99.

This hasn't been highly-requested, and on consideration I don't think it's likely to provide a substantial amount of value over what #99 and #391 do.
