Automated tests on Puppeteer
Quick start guide to integrate Automated tests on BrowserStack Accessibility Testing with Puppeteer.
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 an existing Puppeteer test suite using Jest as the test runner.
- Node.js 14 or later and npm installed.
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 1.51.0.
Set your BrowserStack credentials as environment variables
Set your BrowserStack credentials as environment variables using the following command.
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 powerful tool 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 you 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 deviates from the standard BrowserStack Automate approach, because Automated tests automatically identify different build runs.
- Accessibility testing runs on Desktops (Mac & Windows) with Chrome 100 & later on Automate.
Run your suite with Automated tests
Run your test suite using the BrowserStack Node SDK. Prefix your existing Jest command with npx browserstack-node-sdk:
You can check the Accessibility report for your build through the Automated tests page.
