Integrate BrowserStack Automate with GitLab CI/CD

A guide to help you integrate GitLab CI/CD with the BrowserStack device cloud for running all your tests.

Introduction

GitLab CI/CD is a continuous integration tool used to integrate your test suites such that it enables continuous testing, build, and deploy of iterative code changes. Use of CI/CD tools helps catch failures ahead of the production stage and mitigate them as they occur.

Note: The information in this section applies to GitLab CI/CD implemented as part of GitLab SaaS offering.

The .gitlab-ci.yml includes configurations that BrowserStack uses to authenticate and run the test cases. You can use the information in this section to edit the .yml file and add configurations, such as, BrowserStack credentials, Local settings, and so on. For your existing repositories hosted in GitLab, integrating BrowserStack requires minimal changes to your environment.

Important:

This guide requires some knowledge of GitLab. Check out GitLab documentation before configuring BrowserStack.
If you are new to BrowserStack, take some time to check out the getting started guides to learn about integrating BrowserStack with your existing test scripts.

The following sections guide you through setting up BrowserStack to test your websites or locally hosted staging environments:

Integrate existing test cases
Integrate test cases for locally hosted websites

Integrate existing test cases

With existing test cases, integrating BrowserStack involves:

Setting up BrowserStack credentials as environment variables.
Editing your test cases to add BrowserStack capabilities.

Prerequisites

Before you can start integration, ensure that the following tasks are complete.

GitLab account and the relevant project is accessible
.gitlab-ci.yml file exists for your project
You are a maintainer or owner of the project
Access to the BrowserStack account credentials, namely Access Key and Username

Set up BrowserStack Access Key and Username

GitLab Settings
YML file

As a best practice, it is recommended that the BrowserStack Access key and Username is set as a variable in the GitLab CI/CD settings.

Set up the credentials using the following steps:

Log in to GitLab CI.
Click Settings > CI/CD.
In the Variables row, click Expand to add variables.
Add BrowserStack Access Key as a variable.
a. Click Add Variable.
b. Set the variable name, such as BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY, as Key.
Note: The variable name set in Key is used in the test scripts that you want to integrate with BrowserStack.
Enter the value, which is your Access Key.
Note: The Access Key is found in the BrowserStack Automate dashboard.
Repeat step 4 to add BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME as a variable.

Set variables in GitLab CI/CD settings

You can also pass the BrowserStack Access key and Username as variables in the .gitlab-ci.yml file of each project or repository that you want to test.

variables:
  BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME: "YOUR_USERNAME"
  BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY: "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
  # Set to true when using Local.
  BROWSERSTACK_LOCAL: "false"
  # Set when using multiple Local instances.
  BROWSERSTACK_LOCAL_IDENTIFIER: "IDENTIFIER_NAME"
  # Set an appropriate build name as a best practice. This helps group tests under the same name for better visibility in the Automate dashboard.
  BROWSERSTACK_BUILD_NAME: "BUILD_NAME"

Edit your test scripts

Though your existing test scripts include capabilities, BrowserStack also provides specific capabilities that help determine how tests are run. The following example code snippet sets the OS to windows and the browser to Chrome.

Set capabilities using the following code snippet:

Integrate test cases for locally hosted websites

If you are testing websites hosted locally as part of your testing or development environment, configure your .gitlab-ci.yml file to use the BrowserStack Local binary and route your tests through the local server. Apart from setting up a Local connection, you must also add the browserstack.local capability in your test scripts.

Before you configure the .gitlab-ci.yml file, complete the following task:

Set up BrowserStack Access Key and Username

If you chose to use BrowserStack Local binary as a way to establish a local connection, in the .gitlab-ci.yml file you must configure the before_script keyword to automatically download and start the binary.

Edit your existing .gitlab-ci.yml file to include the code in the following snippets.

before_script:
      # Download the browserstack binary file
      - wget "https://www.browserstack.com/browserstack-local/BrowserStackLocal-linux-x64.zip"
      #For OS X systems, use the following command
      #- wget "https://www.browserstack.com/browserstack-local/BrowserStackLocal-darwin-x64.zip"
      # Unzip the BrowserStack Local binary file
      - unzip BrowserStackLocal-linux-x64.zip
      # Run the file with your access key
      - ./BrowserStackLocal --key $BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY --daemon start

   #For OS X systems, use the following command
   #- wget "https://www.browserstack.com/browserstack-local/BrowserStackLocal-darwin-x64.zip"
   #Unzip the BrowserStack Local binary file
   - unzip BrowserStackLocal-linux-x64.zip
   #Run the file with your access key
   - ./BrowserStackLocal --key $BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY --daemon start

before_script:
    - 'dotnet restore --packages $NUGET_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY'
    - apt-get update
    - apt-get install zip unzip
    #Download the browserstack binary file .
    - wget "https://www.browserstack.com/browserstack-local/BrowserStackLocal-linux-x64.zip"
    #For OS X systems, use the following command

    #Unzip the BrowserStack Local binary file
    - unzip BrowserStackLocal-linux-x64.zip

  # Unzip the BrowserStack Local binary file
  - unzip BrowserStackLocal-linux-x64.zip
  # Run the file with your access key
  - ./BrowserStackLocal --key $BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY --daemon start

If you are using a Windows image, then add the following lines to download and run the BrowserStack Local executable file.

before_script:
    #Download the browserstack binary file .
    - wget "https://www.browserstack.com/browserstack-local/BrowserStackLocal-win32.zip"
    - powershell.exe D:\BrowserStackLocal.exe

Note: Ensure that you also configure the script keyword using the following command to stop the the binary after the test run is complete.

test:
     script:
         - <your_test_command>
         - ./BrowserStackLocal --key $BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY --daemon stop

If you prefer to manage the Local connection through your test scripts, you can use the language bindings. This is the recommended method of establishing a Local connection.

Check out enabling Local testing using language bindings to edit your test scripts.

Important: Apart from these configurations, you can set other Local options, such as, testing behind a proxy, folder testing, or using multiple local instances. Check out Introduction to Local Testing for more information.

Add `browserstack.local` capability to test scripts

Add the browserstack.local capability to test scripts using the following code snippets. When you set this capability to true, BrowserStack resolves the request via the Local agent running in your network.

Post these configurations, when you commit any code change, GitLab CI/CD automatically runs the test scripts as configured in the .gitlab-ci.yml file, which includes BrowserStack configurations.

You can verify if the test passed or failed by clicking CI/CD > Pipelines in your repository as shown in the following image. Check build status
