Testem not finding any launchers with Chrome and Firefox

[duncan-bayne]

If I run testem launchers on my system, I see:

info Seeking for config file... 
Have 0 launchers available; auto-launch info displayed on the right.

Launcher      Type          CI  Dev
------------  ------------  --  ---

I have the following browsers installed:

• Mozilla Firefox 34.0.5 in /usr/local/bin/firefox
• Chromium 39.0.2171.95 in /usr/local/bin/chrome (with ChromeDriver 2.10 in /usr/local/bin/chromedriver)

My Testem and Node versions are:

• Node v0.10.33
• Testem 0.6.24

My OS version is:

• FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0 r274401: Tue Nov 11 21:02:49 UTC 2014 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

Same on MacOS X with Chrome and Firefox installed in ~/Applications instead of /Applications.

What's your $PATH? It sounds like Testem is simply disregarding $PATH and looking where it thinks binaries might be.

[duncan-bayne]

Having had a look at
https://github.com/airportyh/testem/blob/master/lib/browser_launcher.js I'm not surprised by this behaviour.

Looking at the $PATH wouldn't work either on MacOS (/Applications and ~/Applications are not in $PATH).

[emilingerslev]

I'm running on Mac, and i works with testem version mentioned and OS X Yosemite. To be specific, it launches Safari and Chrome.

[amercier]

I assume you installed these browsers in /Application. It does not work if you install them in ~/Application (= /Users/<you>/Applications).

@amercier Feel free to send a PR adding ~/Application to testems search paths.
@duncan-bayne /usr/local/bin/ should be listed in $PATH as testem only tries to execute firefox without any path? Testem is using google-chrome to lunch Chrome, is chrome the default binary name on BSD?

[jasonkarns]

I agree that ~/Applications should be included in testem's paths. That's the default location into which brew-cask installed apps are symlinked.
