[Sugar-devel] Unit tests in Sugar HTML

[Daniel Narvaez]

I'm not sure you can run webkitgtk headless. And we will need the sugar
shell running for apisocket to work (in the future I would like UI and
backend to be better decoupled, but that will require a lot of refactoring).

It should not be a prob though, we can run karma inside sugar, inside xvfb,
and set the browser command to sugar-html-activity.
