Phantom doesn't show browser report about meteor-mocha HOT 4 CLOSED

@lorensr If you open the tests in your browser, this browser will run the tests - not the one you defined in TEST_BROWSER_DRIVER.

When defining TEST_BROWSER_DRIVER you tell the system that you want to run the client-tests in a specific browser - phantomjs in your case. This browser is then starts headless, runs all the tests and writes the report out on the console, which is caught by the browser-runner on the server and printed.

But in your case, you opened the application in - I guess it's chrome? This means that what you see in the console there is the result of the client-tests run in chrome.

Please show the full output of the command you ran on the console which either should include a warning explaining why the tests couldn't run in phantom or the test results.

@aldeed I guess we need a more declarative way of describing this step in the manual: https://github.com/meteortesting/meteor-mocha#run-client-tests-in-any-browser-manually

It should state more clearly that you actually are running the tests in the browser you're opening it in. Maybe we should also add a div if TEST_BROWSER_DRIVER is defined which shows a clear warning stating that you most-likely are currently running the tests in the wrong browser 😅

Makes sense to me

Since we do not ask the browser to click anywhere on the screen, record screenshots or the-like, this shouldn't have any affect to the outcome of any test, right?

Does this means we could actually always show it if TEST_BROWSER_DRIVER is set?
