Runner

The runner is the minimal "chrome" around the user's app and has the following responsibilities:

• Managing communication between the driver, the reporter, the extension, and the server
• Managing the viewport size and scale
• Showing the currently active URL

Install

The runner's dependencies can be installed with:

cd packages/runner
npm install
