Working with intern.js and browserstack, access the remote browser environment

I'm trying to perform a basic functional test:

define([
    'intern!object',
    'intern/chai!assert',
    '../Request',
    'require'
], function (registerSuite, assert, Request, require) {
    var request,
        url = 'https://github.com/theintern/intern';

    registerSuite({
        name: 'demo',

        'submit form': function () {
            return this.remote
                .get(require.toUrl('./fixture.html'))
                .findById('operation')
                    .click()
                    .type('hello, world')
                .end()
                .findById('submit')
                    .click()
                .end()
                .setFindTimeout(Infinity)
                .findById('result')
                .setFindTimeout(0)
                .text()
                .then(function (resultText) {
                    assert.ok(resultText.indexOf(
                        '"hello, world" completed successfully') > -1,
                        'On form submission, operation should complete successfully');
                });
        }
    });
});

(Example from the intern.js documentation) https://github.com/theintern/intern/wiki/Writing-Tests-with-Intern

My intern.js configuration file is as followed:

define({


proxyPort: 9000,
    proxyUrl: 'http://localhost:9000/',
    capabilities: {
        'selenium-version': '2.41.0'
    },
    environments: [
        { browserName: 'chrome'}
    ],
    maxConcurrency: 3,
    tunnel: "BrowserStackTunnel",
    webdriver: {
        host: 'http://hub.browserstack.com/wd/hub',
        username: 'XXXXX',
        accessKey: 'XXXXX'
    },
    useSauceConnect: false,
    loader: {
        packages: [ 
        {
            name: "dojo",
            location: 'vendor/dojo'
        } 
        ]
    },
    suites: [ "tests/test" ],
    excludeInstrumentation: /^(?:tests|node_modules)\//
});

When I run my test, it seems that the connection is being made with browserstack, but my test keep failing:

-> ./node_modules/.bin/intern-runner config=tests/intern
Listening on 0.0.0.0:9000
Starting tunnel...

I assumed that the WebDriver is not loaded, how may I access the remote browser environment inside my functional test?

Only functional tests interact with a WebDriver client and have a remote property. In your config, include your test suite in the functionalSuites array, not suites.

Note that the webdriver property is no longer used, so if you want to specify your username and access key in the config file you should use tunnelOptions instead.

tunnelOptions: {
    username: <username>,
    accessKey: <accessKey>
}

The tunnel knows the proper hostname to use by default, so you don't need to provide that.
