Set up multiple Local Testing connections for Detox tests
Run Detox tests across multiple forks and builds at once by setting up separate Local Testing connections for each.
You can test multiple forks and builds at the same time by setting up separate Local Testing connections for each. To do so, establish each Local Testing connection using the --local-identifier flag, along with a unique connection name (for instance, Test123).
If you don’t use the --local-identifier flag for each Local Testing connection, the existing connection is cut off and a new one is created.
After establishing Local Testing connections, use the local and localIdentifier parameters when executing your build. The parameters are explained below:
| Parameter | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
| local | Set this parameter if you want to enable Local Testing. | true/ false Default: false |
| localIdentifier | Set this parameter, if you are using the same account to test multiple applications. It helps to set up a named connection. | string Example: Test123 |
Example:
Manage multiple Local Testing connections
You can use the Local Testing API to check the status of (or disconnect) active binaries. However, your connections will not show up in the API response unless you establish them using the --enable-logging-for-api flag, as follows:
For the available endpoints, see Manage Local binary instances.
