Configure your Proxy Settings
Proxy
Proxies are commonly set up for office networks, remote servers, and sometimes on local machines. Contact your network/IT team to obtain the ‘Proxy Host’ and ‘Proxy Port’ to setup Local Testing for this implementation. Once you obtain the Host and Port, you can establish a Local Testing connection using one of two ways:
If you are using the BrowserStack SDK, add the following snippet to your browserstack.yml
file:
If your proxy requires authentication, use the following code snippet:
Add the following snippet to your test scripts:
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyHost", "127.0.0.1");
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyPort", "8000");
If your proxy requires authentication, use the following code snippet:
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyHost", "127.0.0.1");
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyPort", "8000");
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyUser", "user");
bsLocalArgs.put("proxyPass", "password");
Use the --proxy-host
and --proxy-port
flags while establishing a Local Testing connection:
Run the binary using the following command:
./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --proxy-host --proxy-port
BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --proxy-host --proxy-port
If your proxy requires authentication, add --proxy-user
and --proxy-pass
to the above command.
Run the binary using the following command:
./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --proxy-host --proxy-port --proxy-user --proxy-pass
BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --proxy-host --proxy-port --proxy-user --proxy-pass
To resolve all requests on our remote browsers and mobile devices through your proxy, add --force-proxy
and --force-local
flags to the command. Without these flags, Local binary tries to connect directly for better performance.
MITM Proxy
If your proxy type is MITM (like BrowserMob), you will need the ‘Proxy Host’ and ‘Proxy Port’. Once you have the Host and Port, you can establish a Local Testing connection using one of two ways:
Add the following snippet to your browserstack.yml
file:
If your proxy requires authentication, use the following code snippet:
Add the following snippet to your test scripts:
bsLocalArgs.put("localProxyHost", "127.0.0.1");
bsLocalArgs.put("localProxyPort", "8000");
If your proxy requires authentication, use the following code snippet:
bsLocalArgs.put("localProxyHost", "127.0.0.1");
bsLocalArgs.put("localProxyPort", "8000");
bsLocalArgs.put("-localProxyUser", "user");
bsLocalArgs.put("-localProxyPass", "password");
Use the following command to establish the Local Testing connection:
Run the binary using the following command:
./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --local-proxy-host <proxy_host> --local-proxy-port <proxy_port>
BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --local-proxy-host <proxy_host> --local-proxy-port <proxy_port>
If your local proxy requires authentication, add --local-proxy-user
and --local-proxy-pass
to the above command.
./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --local-proxy-host <proxy_host> --local-proxy-port <proxy_port> --force-proxy --force-local
BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --local-proxy-host <proxy_host> --local-proxy-port <proxy_port> --force-proxy --force-local
To resolve all requests on our remote browsers and mobile devices through your local proxy, add --force-proxy
and --force-local
flags to the command as demonstrated. Without these flags, Local binary tries to connect directly for enhanced performance.
