./build -o /path/to/nmeagen.html

Running the functional tests

The NMEA Generator contains a set of functional tests which can be executed in a web browser or in a terminal.

To execute the tests in a web browser, load the NMEA Generator and then invoke the runTests() function in the browser's console.

To execute the tests in a terminal, run:

npm install puppeteer
./run-tests /path/to/nmeagen.html
