Test HTML Design Folder/Directory

If you are using the BrowserStack SDK, add the following snippet to your browserstack.yml file:

Add the following snippet to your test scripts:

bsLocalArgs.put("f", "/my/awesome/folder");

bs_local_args = { 'key': '<browserstack-accesskey>', 'f': '/my/awesome/folder' }

bsLocalArgs.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("f", "/my/awesome/folder"));

$bs_local_args = array("key" => "<browserstack-accesskey>", "f" => "/my/awesome/folder");

bs_local_args = { "key": "<browserstack-accesskey>" , "f": "/my/awesome/folder" }

bs_local_args = { "key" => "<browserstack-accesskey>" , "f" => "/my/awesome/folder" }

my %bs_local_args = ("key" => "<browserstack-accesskey>", "f" => "/my/awesome/folder");

Use the --folder flag while establishing a Local Testing connection, along with the absolute path of your HTML folder/directory.

Run the binary using the following command:

./BrowserStackLocal --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --folder <absolute_path_to_html_folder>

BrowserStackLocal.exe --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --folder <absolute_path_to_html_folder>

The remote browsers will now be able to access your HTML files and render them when the test script requests the Local Folder URL. Your Local Folder URL will be formatted as: http://username.browserstack.com.

You can also find your account’s Local Folder URL by following the steps below:

1. Log in to BrowserStack and go to your account settings.
2. Find “Local Folder URL” on the settings page and copy it.
3. Use the Local Folder URL in your test script.

Note: Local Folder URLs can only be accessed by BrowserStack remote machines.
