Test on Internal Networks
BrowserStack enables you to run your Selenide 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 Selenide tests for Local Testing takes just three steps:
- Clone the selenide-browserstack repo on GitHub with BrowserStack’s sample tests, if not already done:
git clone https://github.com/browserstack/selenide-browserstack.git cd selenide-browserstack
- You will see that the following dependencies exist in your
pom.xml
file, which will be responsible for creating the connection between your privately hosted website and the BrowserStack cloud:pom.xml<dependency> <groupId>com.browserstack</groupId> <artifactId>browserstack-local-java</artifactId> <version>0.1.0</version> </dependency>
- Install the dependencies using maven (if not already done):
mvn install
-
Next, update your Selenide config file,
local.conf.json
, and set thebrowserstack.local
capability totrue
:local.conf.json{ "server": "hub-cloud.browserstack.com", "user":"YOUR_USERNAME", "key":"YOUR_ACCESS_KEY", "capabilities": { "name": "Bstack-[Selenide] Local Test", "browserstack.local": true }, "environments": [{ "browser": "chrome" }] }
You will also need the Selenide XML file, as shown below (exists in the sample repository):
<!-- local.testng.xml --> ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd"> <suite name="Local"> <test name="LocalTest"> <parameter name="config" value="local.conf.json"/> <parameter name="environment" value="chrome"/> <classes> <class name="com.browserstack.LocalTest"/> </classes> </test> </suite>
Here is a sample test case written for running local with Selenide (exists in the sample repository). We will run this test in the next step to check if the connection between your private server and BrowserStack cloud has been established or not.
LocalTest.javapublic class LocalTest extends BrowserStackTest { @Test public void test() throws Exception { open("http://bs-local.com:45691/check"); $("body").shouldHave(text("Up and running")); } }
- You can now run your Selenide test using BrowserStack Local with the following command:
# Run using maven mvn test -P local
