How to write a driver?

If you know how to open and close a browser(or some other application), it's very very easy to write a driver for it.

All steps with pseudo-code.

1. Set command line options

   • -s, --server: default is http://server.totorojs.org:9999

2. Link to server by socket and init.

   var socket = socketClient.connect({{server}} + '/__labor')
   // NOTE: the namespace of socket is '/__labor'
   
   socket.on('connect', function() {
     var initInfo = {
       // if the app you drive is not a browser
       // group is required, it could be any string you like
       group: 'groupName',
       device: { name: 'mac' },
       os: { name: 'macosx', version: '13.1.0' },
       agent: { name: 'chrome', version:'35.0.1916.114' }
     }
   
     socket.emit('init', initInfo)
   })
   

3. Open or close specified browser when received corresponding directives.

   socket.on('add', function(data) {
     /*
      * structure of data
      * {
      *   orderId: {{orderId}},
      *   laborId: {{laborId}},
      *   laborTrait: {{labor trait info, the same as init info}},
      *   runner: {{test runner, typically be a url}}
      * }
      */
     var key = data.orderId + '-' + data.laborId
     orders[key] = open(runner)
   })
   
   socket.on('remove', function(data) {
     // the data structure is the same as 'add' event's but without the laborTrait
     var key = data.orderId + '-' + data.laborId
     close(orders[key])
     ;delete orders[key]
   })
   

4. Close all browsers when dirver exits.
