Chrome doesn't start

[emmenko]

Hey, I'm struggling to make chrome start and found your repo so I thought to give it a try.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work :(

emmenko: ~/dev/src/docker-chromium-xvfb/samples/js (master)
$ docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/src -w /src markadams/chromium-xvfb-js
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@2.7.4
npm info using node@v1.6.3
npm info pretest sample-app@1.0.0
npm info test sample-app@1.0.0

> sample-app@1.0.0 test /src
> ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start

Any idea what's wrong?

You're totally right! A while back (4668e4), I split out the Dockerfiles into :latest and :latest-onbuild. This was done primarily to mirror other similar Docker images (like Python) and give people an option of running or not running with the ONBUILD helpers in the Dockerfile.

When I did this, I neglected to update the samples to use :latest-onbuild. I'll be submitting a PR in a moment to fix that.

@emmenko If you rebuild and try again you should see better results now. Thanks for reporting!

Hey thanks for the response but it doesn't seem to work either, or am I doing something wrong?

To run the sample, you should run something like this:

docker build -t js-sample .
docker run --rm js-sample

My output of docker run --rm js-sample looks like this:

$ docker run --rm js-sample
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@2.7.4
npm info using node@v1.6.3
npm info pretest sample-app@1.0.0
npm info test sample-app@1.0.0

> sample-app@1.0.0 test /usr/src/app
> ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start

Hmm I guess it's because of the ONBUILD instruction that you need to build an image in order to execute the triggers.

But for me I don't see the need to build an image if you just want to run something, especially if you can mount a volume. I've actually manage to make it work like this:

# https://hub.docker.com/r/emmenko/nodejs-karma/
$ cmd="docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/src -w /src -e NODE_ENV=test emmenko/nodejs-karma:0.2.0"
$ eval "$cmd sh -c 'npm i --unsafe-perm --no-optional'"
$ eval "$cmd sh -c 'npm run lint && /src/node_modules/.bin/karma start karma.config.js'"

Anyway, I guess those are 2 different approaches and if you use ONBUILD you need to build an image as an extra step.

Thanks for the help anyway :)
