Automated tests on Nightwatch.js (Beta)
Quick start guide to integrate Automated tests on BrowserStack Accessibility Testing with Nightwatch.js.
Prerequisites
- You have an account with BrowserStack (even a free trial works) and can get your Username and Access Key from Account & Profile.
- You have a pre-existing Nightwatch.js test suite integrated with BrowserStack Automate.
- You are using Node.js version 12 or above.
Integrate with Automated tests
Follow these steps to get started with adding Automated tests to your test suite:
Install or update to the latest version of the Nightwatch BrowserStack plugin
Go to your Nightwatch.js project’s root directory and run the following commands to update or install @nightwatch/browserstack and later check the installed version.
Please ensure that you have @nightwatch/browserstack version 3.2.0 or above, and nightwatch version 3.2.0 or above before proceeding.
Set up the config file
Your nightwatch.conf.js file should include the keys shown in the following sample.
Especially ensure that the accessibility flag is set to true and the accessibilityOptions are added.
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 runs only on Desktops (Mac & Windows) with Chrome 100 & above on Automate.
-
Window handle commands might cause instability to Automated Tests. If you face issues, consider removing window handle commands or contact support.
Run your suite with Automated tests
Use your pre-existing command that you use to trigger an automated build.
You can check the Accessibility report for your build through the Automated tests dashboard.
