This is an awesome news! Just to through some magic

anyone succeeded in running it under windows? Alternativelly, I wouldn't
mind having a vagrant VM that includes GUI & a browser so that no host
interaction is needed.
The tests run on Firefox / X11 on the guest VM. To invoke them from a
'vagrant ssh' session, though, you need an X display server. Graphical
Linuxes have all the prerequisites installed, and on OS X you just need to
install XQuartz. On Windows, people have good things to say about NoMachine
(
http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php) but I haven't tested
it myself and while the client is free as in beer, it is not open source.
There is another alternative that you'll probably find simpler: edit your
Vagrantfile and find these two lines:
# To boot the VM in graphical mode, uncomment the following line:
# vb.gui = true
Uncomment the second line and do a vagrant halt / vagrant up. You'll then
be able to run the browser tests on an X display server running on the
guest VM.
