Applitools Integration With LambdaTest

Applitools offers a cloud-based platform to help you perform AI powered, end-to-end visual testing, and monitoring. The platform is designed to make life easier for automation testers by delivering a flexible way to integrate their test scripts directly, without worrying about learning a new language or creating a new automation script.

LambdaTest integration with Applitools will help you perform automated cross browser testing on more than 2000 real browsers running on real operating systems, hosted on a cloud-based Selenium Grid. You can execute your automation test script on LambdaTest Selenium Grid directly from your Applitools instance.

In this topic, you will learn about the:

Prerequisites for integrating LambdaTest with Applitools.

Prerequisites To Integrate LambdaTest With Applitools

Important: Visit LambdaTest GitHub repository for LambdaTest Integration with Applitools.

LambdaTest Authentication Credentials

Be aware of your LambdaTest authentication credentials i.e. your LambdaTest username, access key and HubURL. You need to set them up as your environment variables. You can retrieve them from your LambdaTest automation dashboard by clicking on the key icon near the help button.

For Linux/Mac:

$ export LT_USERNAME= {your lambdatest username} $ export LT_ACCESS_KEY= {your lambdatest access_key}

1
2

$ export LT_USERNAME= {your lambdatest username}
$ export LT_ACCESS_KEY= {your lambdatest access_key}
For Windows:

$ set LT_USERNAME= {your lambdatest username} $ set LT_ACCESS_KEY= {your lambdatest access_key}

1
2

$ set LT_USERNAME= {your lambdatest username}
$ set LT_ACCESS_KEY= {your lambdatest access_key}

Applitools API Key

You can find your Applitools API key by logging into your Applitools account and going to your Profile > My API Key.
In your terminal or CMD, you need to export the Applitools API key along with LambdaTest Credentials.

For Linux/Mac:

$ export APPLITOOLS_API_KEY=<your applitool api key>

1

$ export APPLITOOLS_API_KEY=<your applitool api key>
For Windows:

$ set APPLITOOLS_API_KEY=<your applitool api key>

1

$ set APPLITOOLS_API_KEY=<your applitool api key>

Once you have cloned the above code, you need to execute the below command to trigger the test on LambdaTest Selenium Grid.

$ mvn -Dtest=BasicDemo test

Watch the execution of the demo test on LambdaTest Automation Dashboard.

Test Your Locally Hosted Applications On LambdaTest From Applitools

You can test your locally hosted or privately hosted projects with LambdaTest Selenium grid cloud using Lambda Tunnel app. All you would have to do is set up an SSH tunnel using Lambda Tunnel app, and pass toggle tunnel = True via desired capabilities. Lambda Tunnel establishes a secure SSH protocol based tunnel that allows you in testing your locally hosted or privately hosted pages, even before they are made live.

Refer our LambdaTest Tunnel documentation for more information.

Download latest LambdaTest Tunnel binary file and extract it.

Download:

To run your Applitools automation script for locally hosted web applications on LambdaTest Selenium Grid, you would need to set the Tunnel Capability flag to true.

 DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
         capability.setCapability("tunnel", true);

1 2	DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capability.setCapability("tunnel", true);

Important Note:

Some Safari & IE browsers, doesn’t support automatic resolution of the URL string “localhost”. Therefore if you test on URLs like “http://localhost/” or “http://localhost:8080” etc, you would get an error in these browsers. A possible solution is to use “localhost.lambdatest.com” or replace the string “localhost” with machine IP address. For example if you wanted to test “http://localhost/dashboard” or, and your machine IP is 192.168.2.6 you can instead test on “http://192.168.2.6/dashboard” or “http://localhost.lambdatest.com/dashboard”.
