Dojo baseUrl error running Intern.io functional tests locally

Question

I'm trying to get Intern.io to perform functional tests against a local Selenium standalone server (as asked here: How do I setup Selenium 2 Server so intern can run functional tests locally, on one browser?) and an answer with some instructions was provided here: https://gist.github.com/neonstalwart/6630466

However, I keep getting the following error:

/home/dave/ScratchPad/InternTutorial/intern-tutorial/node_modules/intern/node_modules/dojo/dojo.js:74
            baseUrl = (config.baseUrl || baseUrl).replace(/\/*$/, '/');
                             ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'baseUrl' of undefined

This was actually the same error I was getting before I followed the instructions. I'm guessing that I have my "loader" attribute configured incorrectly in my "intern.js" file. It's currently set to the following:

loader: {
        // Packages that should be registered with the loader in each testing environment
        //packages: [ { name: 'myPackage', location: '.' } ]
      packages: [ { name: 'app', location: 'app' } ],
      map: { 'app': { dojo: './node_modules/intern/node_modules/dojo' } }
    },

I'm following the Intern tutorial here: https://github.com/theintern/intern-tutorial and just want to be able to run the functional tests locally and not against SauceLabs.

Has anyone had any experience of this error and have a solution?

Thanks

Answer 1

The config argument you need to pass is the module ID of your intern.js (aka config file).

Answer 2

I believe the command you are looking to execute is

node ./node_modules/.bin/intern-runner config=tests/intern.js

This is if you followed instructions from the tutorial here: https://github.com/theintern/intern-tutorial/blob/a6b3daf872d11c6ec7edcf4b493de68b47dfe0b6/README.md
