Testing on Internal Networks

Run Ruby Cucumber tests on your privately hosted websites using BrowserStack Automate

BrowserStack enables you to run your Cucumber 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.

1. Clone the cucumber-ruby-browserstack sample repository on GitHub using the following command:
   
   

   git clone https://github.com/browserstack/cucumber-ruby-browserstack.git
   cd cucumber-ruby-browserstack
   

2. Install the required dependencies to run your Cucumber tests on BrowserStack using the following command:
   
   

   bundle install
   

3. Set the browserstack.local capability to true in the Cucumber config file cucumber-ruby-browserstack/features/support/env.rb.
4. Run the following command to run your Cucumber test using BrowserStack Local:
   
   

    cucumber BROSWERSTACK_USERNAME=YOUR_USERNAME BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY BS_AUTOMATE_OS=Windows BS_AUTOMATE_OS_VERSION=10 SELENIUM_BROWSER=Chrome
   

   In the command, we’ve specified the test to run on Chrome on Windows 10. You can check out our capability builder and select from a wide range of custom capabilities that BrowserStack supports.
