Saucelabs and Non-Firefox Browsers Not Working

[erickbrower]

When running tests against Saucelabs with a configuration like the one in bin/nightwatch.json, and specifying any browser other than firefox, when Nightwatch requests a new session, Saucelabs responds with a 302 with a "Location" in the headers instead of putting the location in the response body. Nightwatch doesn't follow this redirect and the tests never start on Sauce. I've confirmed that Safari, iOS simulator, all versions of Internet Explorer, and Chrome are all affected by this issue. Firefox works perfectly fine though.

I'm running a SauceConnect tunnel at localhost:4445, here's my nightwatch.json: https://gist.github.com/erickbrower/cab948b05122066414f8

Here's what the shell output looks like, including a dump of response.headers: https://gist.github.com/erickbrower/ddf075faf1bcdb419e59

And here's what it looks like when I GET that URL: https://gist.github.com/erickbrower/257cf2a4a11358f8e970

I'm more than happy to test, just let me know

Just got a response from Saucelabs support. The support tech quotes one of their developers. Here's what he says:

"The webdriver spec was originally set up to respond to a new session request with a 303 redirect instead of a 200 with the session id in the body, and this is how we still do it.

Long story short, Nightwatch JS needs to support both."

I'm assuming he means 302, not 303

Yes, we need to support the 3xx redirects also.
