Automated tests on MochaJS
Quick start guide to integrate Automated tests on BrowserStack Accessibility Testing with MochaJS.
Prerequisites
- You have an account with BrowserStack (even a free trial works) and can get the username and access key from Account & Profile.
- You have a pre-existing Mocha test suite integrated with BrowserStack Automate.
Integrate with Automated tests
Follow these steps to get started with adding Automated tests to your test suite:
The minimum version of browserstack-node-sdk
that supports Automated tests is 1.31.22
.
Install the latest version of the BrowserStack SDK
Install (or update) the browserstack-node-sdk
npm package using the following command.
BrowserStack SDK is a very powerful tool which you can use to set the different browser/device combinations and parallelization. For more details, check out the Automate Integration guide.
Make changes to the SDK config file
If you’ve installed the browserstack-node-sdk
for the first time, you’ll have to create the following browserstack.yml
file. Else, verify that your config file has all the required key-value pairs.
Especially, ensure to add the accessibility
flag at the end of the browserstack.yml
file.
Create the browserstack.yml
file in the root folder of your test suite if it doesn’t exist.
The projectName
and buildName
config must be static and not change across different runs of the same build. This is a deviation in approach as specified by BrowserStack Automate since Automated tests will automatically identify different build runs.
Accessibility testing will only run on Desktops (Mac & Windows) with Chrome 100 & above on Automate.
Run your suite with Automated tests
Prepend browserstack-node-sdk
to the existing command that you use to trigger a run as shown in the following sample and data will automatically start getting sent to Automated tests.
You can check the Accessibility report for your build through the Automated tests page.
