- auth: Firstly you need to set up your LambdaTest credentials that will help you run your test on the - https://accounts.lambdatest.com/dashboard -
"lambdatest_auth": {
"username": "<Your LambdaTest username>",
"access_key": "<Your LambdaTest access key>"
}
- browsers: Secondly, you need to set up the browser and OS combinations upon which you want the Cypress testing to be done. You can choose among the browsers provided in the list below. Here's an example of few of the browsers selected for Cypress testing.
"browsers": [
{
"browser": "Chrome",
"platform": "Windows 10",
"versions": [
"86.0"
]
},
{
"browser": "Firefox",
"platform": "Windows 10",
"versions": [
"82.0"
]
}
],
- run_settings: Lastly, you need to set the other desired capabilities of your Cypress test suite, that includes cypress_version, build_name, visual feedback settings, number of parallel sessions, etc. For example:
"run_settings": {
"cypress_config_file": "cypress.json",
"build_name": "build-name",
"parallels": 1,
"specs": "./*.spec.js", // Please add your spec files path here to run the tests on Lambdatest
"ignore_files": "",
"feature_file_suppport": false,
"network": false,
"headless": false,
"reporter_config_file": ""
}
- Default Generated Configuration File. Here's a complete sample configuration.json file:
{
"lambdatest_auth": {
"username": "<Your LambdaTest username>",
"access_key": "<Your LambdaTest access key>"
},
"browsers": [
{
"browser": "Chrome",
"platform": "Windows 10",
"versions": [
"86.0"
]
},
{
"browser": "Firefox",
"platform": "Windows 10",
"versions": [
"82.0"
]
}
],
"run_settings": {
"cypress_config_file": "cypress.json",
"build_name": "build-name",
"parallels": 1,
"specs": "./*.spec.js",
"ignore_files": "",
"feature_file_suppport": false,
"network": false,
"headless": false,
"reporter_config_file": ""
},
