Test on Internal Networks

BrowserStack enables you to run your PNUnit automated tests on your internal development environments, on localhost, and from behind a corporate firewall. This feature is called “Local Testing”.

Local Testing establishes a secure connection between your machine and the BrowserStack cloud. Once you set up Local Testing, all URLs work out of the box, including HTTPS URLs and those behind a proxy or firewall.

Configuring your PNUnit tests for Local Testing takes just three steps:

1. Download and install the BrowserStackLocal binary:

   Note: Install BrowserstackLocal using NuGet Gallery.

2. Next, you need to update your PNUnit config file, local.conf.json, and set the browserstack.local capability to true:

   // config.xml
   <TestGroup>
     <ParallelTests>
         <ParallelTest>
           <Name>PNUnit-BrowserStack</Name>
           <Tests>
             <TestConf>
               <Name>local_test</Name>
               <Assembly>PNUnit-BrowserStack\bin\Release\PNUnit-BrowserStack.dll</Assembly>
               <TestToRun>BrowserStack.LocalTest.HealthCheck</TestToRun>
               <Machine>localhost:8080</Machine>
               <TestParams>
                 <string>local</string>
                 <string>chrome</string>
               </TestParams>
             </TestConf>
           </Tests>
         </ParallelTest>
     </ParallelTests>
   </TestGroup>
   

   Here is a sample test case written for running local with PNUnit.

   public class LocalTest : BrowserStackPNUnitTest
   {
     [Test]
     public void HealthCheck()
     {
       driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://bs-local.com:45691/check");
       Assert.IsTrue(Regex.IsMatch(driver.PageSource, "Up and running", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase));
     }
   }
   

3. You can now run your PNUnit test using BrowserStack Local with the following command:

   Run PNUnit agent start pnunit-agent.exe agent.conf Build the solution in Visual Studio Run test pnunit-launcher.exe config\local.config.xml
