Description

I have problems getting saucelabs to run our test suite (it was added by @jharding in twitter/typeahead.js project back in 2014, but broke at some point in time).

Now, some of the problem is covered by #20 and #21. But actually being able to run the integration tests locally would help so that we can see and debug errors with the actual suite.

The file integration/test.js is the actual test, but also sets up Saucelabs-specific variables.

The task will be to make a split, so that we can run a simple task locally (which probably could use Phantom).

For example:

npm run test:integration

Research direction
Separate the Saucelabs specific configuration from the integration test logic so that the tests can run locally, perhaps using PhantomJS. Add an npm script to run the local integration tests.
