<billhunt> nickstenn (afk, I know) & tilgovi : Finally found a decent package to integrate the existing test runner with Saucelabs, but requires the use of grunt. Or rewriting the whole package to not use grunt. Is grunt a dealbreaker for dev?
I'm not a big fan of Grunt. I've played with it a few times and didn't find it offered anything significant over Makefiles. It's useful when you want to make some transformation pipeline out of JS modules, but if those modules expose a CLI like browserify, uglify and others do, then it's not really offering anything over GNU Make. Gulp, on the other hand, seems to play to the strengths of node without reinventing the dependency tree. What did you find? Also, I'm not opposed to looking at other services than Saucelabs. For instance, I've heard good things about BrowserStack: http://www.browserstack.com/ I also wouldn't shy away from reworking our test runner. We don't need to keep doing it the way we're doing it if there's a better way. I'd rewrite that, if it's not too much work, before switching build systems just to use the existing test runner.
