Using Intern with Grunt

Grunt support is built into Intern. Install Intern and load the Grunt task into your Gruntfile using grunt.loadTasks('path/to/intern/grunt'); (Intern 1.0.0) or grunt.loadNpmTasks('intern') (Intern 1.1+).

An example of the Grunt Intern task is available in the intern-examples repository.

Task Options

Options available when running Intern using Grunt are the same as the options available when running Intern directly from the command-line, plus the following additional options:

Name Default	Description
runType client	The execution mode in which Intern should be run. This may be either "runner" for the automated test runner, or "client" for the Node.js client.
sauceUsername (none)	The username for authentication with Sauce Labs.
sauceAccessKey (none)	The access key for authentication with Sauce Labs.

Gruntfile example

grunt.initConfig({
    intern: {
        someReleaseTarget: {
            options: {
                runType: 'runner',  // defaults to client,
                config: 'myPackage/tests/intern',
                reporters: [ 'console', 'lcov' ],
                suites: [ 'myPackage/tests/all' ]
            }
        },
        anotherReleaseTarget: { /* ... */ }
    }
});

// Load the Intern task
grunt.loadNpmTasks('intern')

// Register a test task that uses Intern
grunt.registerTask('test', [ 'intern' ]);

// By default we just test
grunt.registerTask('default', [ 'test' ]);
