Organize your Maestro tests on App Automate
Organize your Maestro test executions under projects on BrowserStack App Automate. Test your apps on a real device cloud.
Logically organize test executions under projects for better visibility and reporting:
-
Access related tests together in the App Automate dashboard.
-
Simplify test result retrieval via REST API.
How to organize tests?
Include the project parameter in your REST API request:
| Parameter | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
project |
A unique identifier to logically group multiple test executions together | String (optional) Note that only letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), periods (.), colons (:), hyphens (-), square brackets ([]), forward slashes (/), at signs (@), ampersands (&), single quotes (‘), and underscores (_) are allowed. Any other characters are ignored. |
buildTag |
A custom tag for your builds | String (optional) Note that only letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), periods (.), colons (:), hyphens (-), square brackets ([]), forward slashes (/), at signs (@), ampersands (&), single quotes (‘), and underscores (_) are allowed. Any other characters are ignored. |
customBuildName |
A custom name for your build | String (optional) Note that only letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), periods (.), colons (:), hyphens (-), square brackets ([]), forward slashes (/), at signs (@), ampersands (&), single quotes (‘), and underscores (_) are allowed. Any other characters are ignored. If an invalid build name is passed, the capability is ignored and the system falls back to the current naming workflow. Multiple builds can have the same customBuildName, but the build name shown on the Dashboard will be incremented sequentially (for example, “Build #1: sample.apk”, “Build #2: sample.apk”, and so on). |
Example cURL requests :
Both the test executions shown below specify the same value for the project parameter. Accordingly, they will be grouped together under the same project Dashboard-v2
REST API request for Android:
curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/maestro/v2/android/build" \
-d '{"project" : "Dashboard-v2", "devices": ["Samsung Galaxy S8-7.0"], "app": "bs://f7c874f21852ba57957a3fdc33f47514288c4ba4", "testSuite": "bs://e994db8333e32a5863938666c3c3491e778352ff", "customBuildName": "MyCustomBuildName" }' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/maestro/v2/android/build" \
-d '{"project" : "Dashboard-v2", "devices": ["Samsung Galaxy S10-9.0"], "app": "bs://12474f21852ba5233fdc33f47514288c4ba4", "testSuite": "bs://e994db8333e32a5863938666c3c3491e1231", "customBuildName": "MyCustomBuildName" }' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
Adding build tags
You can add a custom build tag to your builds using the buildTag capability. You can filter your builds according to the assigned tag on the App Automate dashboard.
Example cURL request for Android :
The following code shows how the buildTag capability is used to add a build tag:
curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/maestro/v2/android/build" \
-d '{"project" : "Dashboard-v2", "devices": ["Samsung Galaxy S10-9.0"], "app": "bs://12474f21852ba5233fdc33f47514288c4ba4", "testSuite": "bs://e994db8333e32a5863938666c3c3491e1231", "networkLogs": "false", "disableAnimations": "true", "deviceLogs": "true", "video": "true", "project": "Sanity", "buildTag": "Laser Tag" }' \
