npm Plugin For TestCafe Integration With LambdaTest

This plugin integrates TestCafe with the LambdaTest Testing Cloud.

Install

$ npm install testcafe-browser-provider-lambdatest

Usage

Before using this plugin, save the LambdaTest username and access key to environment variables LT_USERNAME and LT_ACCESS_KEY, as described in LambdaTest Documentation.

You can determine the available browser aliases by running

$ testcafe -b lambdatest

If you run tests from the command line, use the browser alias when specifying browsers: For Single Configuration

$ testcafe "lambdatest:[email protected]:Windows 8" "path/to/test/file.js"

For Parallel/Multiple Configuration

$ testcafe "lambdatest:[email protected]:Windows 8","lambdatest:[email protected]:Windows 10" "path/to/test/file.js"

When you use API, pass the alias to the browsers() method:

testCafe
    .createRunner()
    .src('path/to/test/file.js')
    .browsers('lambdatest:[email protected]:Windows 8')
    .run();
