No stdout option

[simonzack]

I'm doing karma start and karma run in the same process. Both print the test results to stdout, which is rather annoying. Can there be an option to disable runner.js's stdout?

I'm monkey-patching http.request right now which is rather ugly.

I would just redirect the output of one of the two processes to /dev/null. That would look like:

karma start > /dev/null

This is a pretty standard "unixy" way of dealing with output of programs and is quite powerful. For more info on this approach, look for resources explaining stdout redirection in linux (that's what the > is for)

I'm running both on the same process.

I'm not an expert on these things, but my understanding of a process is that is a running instance of some program. By that definition, karma start and karma run are two separate instances of a running program and would thus each have their own process.

How are you running the two commands?

[simonzack]

I'm using the api. karma.server.start and karma.runner.run.

I ended up doing the ajax request myself, which was reasonably simple. The runner api is rather lacking. The throws couldn't be caught either.

The node api was never designed to be feature complete. If you have concrete suggestions please file a new issue and/or feel free to submit a PR with the methods you are looking for.
