Migrate From Local Grid |
This documentation will guide you through the process of migrating your existing Appium test suites from your local grid setup or another cloud testing tools to run on LambdaTest. |

LambdaTest |

LambdaTest offers an online Appium automation grid to perform App automation. Therefore you can easily migrate Appium tests from your local grid to the LambdaTest platform.
In this documentation, we look at how to leverage LambdaTest cloud for App automation and migrate your test scripts (or test suites) from your local grid. You can use LambdaTest's desired capabilities in your tests, authenticate your test session, and execute tests on the cloud.
To move from the local grid to the cloud-based Appium grid, you need to make some changes to your automation scripts like authentication, desired capabilities etc.
To run tests on LambdaTest, you will need LambdaTest authentication credentials: LambdaTest Username and a LambdaTest Access Key. If you do not have a LambdaTest account, visit the LambdaTest register page and create one.
You can get the LambdaTest Username and LambdaTest Access Key from your LambdaTest Profile.

Appium's Desired Capabilities are a collection of key-value pairs wrapped inside a JSON object. These key-value pairs request the Appium server for the required test automation session.
Let’s say you want to run an app test in Python on SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S4 running ANDROID 10. You can define the same in the form of capability as given below.
caps = [
{
"deviceName": "Galaxy Tab S4",
"platformName": "Android",
"platformVersion": "10",
"build": "Demo",
},
]To begin, change the authentication in your test suite's configuration settings. To run the tests on LambdaTest Appium Grid, you need a valid user name and access key. If you were already performing tests on your local grid, you will need to modify your test script to initialize an Appium driver along with your desired capabilities.
Pass the capabilities to @hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub with your LambdaTest authentication details, and you are done. Here is the sample Python test script.
#samplewikipedia.py
import ssl
try:
_create_unverified_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
except AttributeError:
# Legacy Python that doesn't verify HTTPS certificates by default
pass
else:
# Handle target environment that doesn't support HTTPS verification
ssl._create_default_https_context = _create_unverified_https_context
