Specify test suite for running Espresso tests

Upload and specify the test suite for your Espresso test execution on BrowserStack App Automate.

While executing your Espresso tests, you must specify the uploaded test suite that contains your Espresso test cases. In order to do so, you need to pass the testSuite parameter in the REST API request to start your test execution. You can set its value in one of the following ways:

1. Using a test_url value: This is returned in the response to a test suite upload REST API request.
2. Using a custom_id value: This is the custom ID you defined in a test suite upload REST API request. By default, it will pick the last build of your uploaded test suite under the given custom ID.

REST API endpoint:

POST /app-automate/espresso/v2/build

Example cURL requests:

Use a sample test_url to specify the test suite for your Espresso test execution:

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/espresso/v2/build" \
-d '{"devices": ["Samsung Galaxy S8-7.0"], "app": "bs://f7c874f21852ba57957a3fdc33f47514288c4ba4", "testSuite": "bs://e994db8333e32a5863938666c3c3491e778352ff"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Use sample custom_id to specify the test suite in your Espresso test execution:

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/espresso/v2/build" \
-d '{"devices": ["Samsung Galaxy S8-7.0"], "app": "Calculator", "testSuite": "CalculatorTest"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
