TestCafe.createLiveModeRunner Method

Creates a test runner that runs TestCafe in live mode. In this mode, TestCafe watches for changes you make in the test files and all files referenced in them (like page objects or helper modules). The tests restart immediately after these changes, so you get real-time updates.

createLiveModeRunner() → LiveModeRunner

LiveModeRunner is a Runner descendant and provides the same API (with the following limitations).

Example

const createTestCafe = require('testcafe');

const testcafe   = await createTestCafe('localhost', 1337, 1338)
const liveRunner = testcafe.createLiveModeRunner();

await liveRunner
    .src('tests/test.js')
    .browsers('chrome')
    .run();

await testcafe.close();
