Browser testing with Travis & Sauce Labs -- Polycasts #38

It's important to get a good testing setup in place for your project as early as possible. Using services like Travis for continuous integration, and Sauce Labs for cross-browser testing means you can be confident that changes you push to your project will work well on different platforms and devices. But setting these tools up can be pretty tricky! To help clear away some of the confusion I'll walk you through everything you need to get your first project up and running on both services.

+Rob Dodson As always great Polycast and happy new year team polymer hoping that we continue to surprise with their contributions on the web. Web components are the future

Great job Dodson! But I have a question about sauce labs, do I have to create a new account(with new email) to use open sauce for my EVERY open source github project? I can't sign up opensauce with same username or email, and it seems that I can't just add a project to my current account.

+robdodson This Polycast doesn't seem to be in the Polycast's playlist., so my subscription didn't pick it up. Only got here from the Polymer Google+ group.

Good an useful information as always.

Hi Rob, Thanks for the vid, works great with Travis CI. Any tuts available to do the same with Jenkins?

I might have missed in video, but what are you actually testing on each of these browsers?

You shouldn't have bothered blurring the API key. either mark it out completely or don't show it, as blurred information can be recovered. But it's probably fine.

I've set this up for a simple component.
My tests work perfectly locally.
When I run them on sauce labs, only the async tests (with a done() method call) fail.

Anybody has any idea why this is?
I'm waiting for an event to be fired, but wct tells me the done method is never called.
(so the event is not received I think).

What is the best way to asynchronously load multiple elements? Is there something similar importHref available for multiple imports? They easy way would be to create new file and place the import the required elements in that file and then use importHref to load this file. But this will add an extra HTTP request which is bad for load time. So is there another way?

Does anyone know where their "Repository URL" field in the signup form is gone? In their instructions for setting up Open Source project tests they still refer to it, but I can't find it anywhere. :(

And I also want to learn to customize paper-tabs
