Hi @warehouseman: Thanks for the hint.
Yeah I finally have a test passing. This stuff took me ages to setup to get hereā¦
I have spend 2 hours trying @samās solution, but I ran into compile-errors being thrown by gulp (I am using Blaze and not React), and this whole gulp stuff got me overwhelmed. So I decided to dump it and go back to the basic setup I had before and tweak it a bit more.
My learnings for future CircleCi Newbies:
- when using CIRCLE_ARTIFACTS you can actually access those resulting files in the āartifactsā-tab
- there are log-files shown in the GUI for each command. So you can do stuff like
- pwd and check out where you are
This is my hacky circle.yml, which is starting to give me resultsā¦ I am sure it is not the final version and needs more iterations

Why not post a link to your Circle CI page? Then we can look at it
together.
Sorry, this is not a public project, so I canāt do this.
I got some results now: A lot of the existing tests actually do pass on the slow(?) CircleCi machine. I have some timeout issues, where I guess Iāll just have to double the values.
Right now I am trying to get the reporting setup correctly by setting mochaReporter: 'mocha-junit-reporter', so that CircleCi can give better feedback using https://github.com/michaelleeallen/mocha-junit-reporter.
Iāll keep you guys up to date. Thanks a lot for your help so far!
Hi guys,
I had it running, but on CircleCi Chimp is NOT able to connect to meteor anymore.
I checked my code, but have NOT found any breaking changes yet. Plus meteor-logs say that meteor is running fine on localhost:3000.
Maybe this is related to the chimp/webdriver-combination?
VERSIONS (CircleCi vs Local-Setup)
CircleCi setup (ERROR)
Chimp 0.46.0
Node v6.5.0
Java 3.10.3
Local setup (WORKS)
Chimp 0.45.0
Node 4.6.2
Java build 1.8.0_65
CIRCLE.YML OVERVIEW
Meteor is started via meteor test --full-app --driver-package tmeasday:acceptance-test-driver --port 3000. The logs say that meteor is really running (=> App running at: http://localhost:3000/).
Chimp is started via chimp ./tests/_circle-ci-chimp-config.js --ddp=http://localhost:3000 --path=tests --mocha;.
The problem is that Chimp is NOT able to connect to localhost:3000.
For example: when doing a simple check for Blaze being rendered, like browser.waitForExist('div#__blaze-root'), I will get an Error like: Error: element (div#__blaze-root) still not existing after 10000ms.
Any ideas how to get this working?
This is my circle.yml

Update: it works when explicitly changing versions, like so:

dependencies:
pre:
- cd src; npm install -g chimp@0.45.0 # @0.46.0 might NOT work. in general this is NOT working with LOW node-version.
will be nice to see v2 example, currently trying to figure it out

Oo nice, couple of things in there I didnāt think about. Would you mind
sharing your package.json? Curious to see how you setup
test:e2e-standalone
I just linked to it hereās the link again package.json
