nightwatch-browserstack

Nightwatch Integration with BrowserStack.

Setup

• Clone the repo
• Install dependencies npm install
• Update *.conf.js files inside the conf/ directory with your BrowserStack Username and Access Key(https://www.browserstack.com/accounts/settings)

Running your tests

• To run multiple modules of tests, split your test functions and place them in seperate .js files in either 'single' or 'suite' folder. Placing you .js files in single folder will execute your tests in sequential fashion and placing your .js test files in suite folder will execute your tests in parallel fashion

• To run tests in single folder, execute command npm run single

• To run tests in suite folder, execute command npm run suite

Notes

• You can view your test results on the BrowserStack automate dashboard

• To test on a different set of browsers, check out our platform configurator

• You can export the environment variables for the Username and Access Key of your BrowserStack account

  export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username> &&
  export BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>
  

Connecting to BrowserStack via a proxy server

You can specify proxy settings in Nightwatch by adding the proxy key in your *.conf.js

  test_settings: {
    default: {
      desiredCapabilities: {
        // Your capabilities
      },
      proxy: {
        "host": "",     // "127.0.0.1"
        "port": "",     // "8081"
        "protocol": ""  // "http"
      }
    }
  }
