PHP package for the Sauce Connect Java binary

sauce-connect-composer

A Composer Package for Sauce Connect., _(*1)

Sauce Connect is a special tunnel-creating binary application (see the Sauce Connect Docs). It is bundled as a composer package (sauce/connect), designed to accompany Sausage (sauce/sausage), which you can add to your composer.json requirements:, _(*2)

{
  "require": {
    "sauce/sausage": ">=0.6",
    "sauce/connect": ">=3.0"
  }
}

If you've already run vendor/bin/sauce_config or otherwise set your Sauce credentials, starting sauce connect is as easy as:, _(*3)

vendor/bin/sauce_connect

Or on Windows:, _(*4)

vendor\bin\sauce_connect.bat

The script will start up the Sauce Connect Java binary behind the scenes. As it's starting you'll see various messages letting you know the status of the startup process (it usually takes about a minute). Once Sauce Connect is ready to go, you'll get a prompt that allows you to hit enter to see more log messages from the running Sauce Connect binary, or type 'q' and hit enter to shut down the secure tunnel., _(*5)

You'll be testing against your local test server in no time!, _(*6)
