- Pre-requisites
- Running Your First Selenium Python Test
- Setting Up GitHub App Integration With SmartUI
- In order to run your Smart UI tests with Selenium Python, you will need to set your LambdaTest username and access key in the environment variables. Click the Access Key button at the top-right of the Automation Dashboard to access it.
Windows
set LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME"
set LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"
macOS/Linux
export LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"
- To create a
New Project
using the SmartUI Web Application, click the New Project button in the top-right corner of your dashboard.
- Fill in the specifications such as Platform, Project Name, Approvers, and Tags as per your requirement and click Create Project.
- Install
pip
and Python.
sudo apt install python-pip
sudo apt install python
- The recommended way to run your tests would be in
virtualenv
. It will isolate the build from other setups you may have running and ensure that the tests run with the specified versions of the modules specified in therequirements.txt
file.
pip install virtualenv
- To get started, clone the
Python-Selenium-Sample
Repository.
git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/smartui-python-sample
- Next, create and activate the virtual environment in the
Python-Selenium-Sample
folder.
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
-
Inside the
Python-Selenium-Sample
folder, export theLambdaTest Credentials
. You can get these from your automation dashboard. -
To run your first test, run the below given command.
python test.py
You can integrate your LambdaTest account with the GiHub application in the following ways:
- Using OAuth
Go to your GitHub repository where you want to configure your SmartUI project. Check out our GitHub sample here.
Add the Github
capability to your current test configuration:
const capabilities: {
platform: "Windows 10",
browserName: "chrome",
version: "latest",
"smartUI.project": "Smart UI sample test",
github: {
"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/statuses/commitId", // Mandatory
"owner": "{OWNER}", //Optional
"repo": "{REPO}", //Optional
"commit": "{commitId}" //Optional
}
}
Setting up your CI workflow to execute on GitHub. Here is an example setup with GitHub Actions
:
Go to .github/workflows/<your_ci_file>.yml
.
name: Execute SmartUI Test with Github App Integration
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: Create commit status
run: |
API_HOST=https://api.github.com
# Check out the PR branch
git checkout $GITHUB_HEAD_REF
# Get the commit ID of the last commit
COMMIT_ID=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
echo "Last commit ID of PR: $COMMIT_ID"
GITHUB_URL=$API_HOST/repos/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY/statuses/$COMMIT_ID
echo "GITHUB_URL: $GITHUB_URL"
echo "GITHUB_URL=$GITHUB_URL" >> $GITHUB_ENV
After the setup is completed, you can now execute your test suite with the Continuos Integration (CI) pipeline with any tool of your choice.
