Automated tests on Robot
Quick start guide to integrate Automated tests of BrowserStack Accessibility Testing with Robot.
Prerequisites
- You have Robot version 5 or above, Python3 and Pip3 installed.
- You have a pre-existing Robot test suite integrated with BrowserStack Automate.
Integrate with Automated tests
Follow the steps below to get started with adding Automated tests to your test suite:
The minimum version of BrowserStack SDK that supports Automated tests is 1.19.14.
Install BrowserStack Robot SDK
Execute the following commands to install BrowserStack Robot SDK.
python3 -m pip install browserstack-sdk
browserstack-sdk setup --framework "robot" --username "YOUR_USERNAME" --key "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
Create the browserstack.yml file
You’ll have to create the browserstack.yml file shown below. Else, just verify that your config file has all the required key-value pairs.
Specifically, make sure 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.
userName: YOUR_USERNAME
accessKey: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
buildName: "Your static build/job name goes here"
projectName: "Your static project name goes here"
...
accessibility: true
Accessibility testing will only run on Desktops (Mac & Windows) with Chrome 95 & above on Automate.
Run your suite with BrowserStack Automated tests
Prepend browserstack-sdk before your existing run commands to execute your tests on BrowserStack using the Robot SDK.
browserstack-sdk robot <path-to-test-files>
Once the build has completed and the Accessibility report is ready, it will automatically get sent to the Automated tests dashboard.
