How to run ionic in the background

Question

I am trying to run ionic serve in the background so I can test it via my rails app on circle ci. I thought I could do it with:

nohup bash -c \"ionic serve --noli         


        

Answer 1

On CircleCI I have found this setup to work well

machine:
  node:
    version: v7.4.0

test:
  pre:
    - npm run webdriver-update
    - ionic serve --nolivereload --nobrowser --port 8101:
        background: true
    - sleep 15

  override:
    - npm run e2e
