Virtual Device Integration with HyperExecute

This page outlines how to execute your Virtual Device tests on HyperExecute with YAML 0.2

Note

Currently, App Automation is available for Emulators and Simulators in the Beta phase, with support for the Appium framework. To use this feature, Contact Sales.

Prerequisites​

To run the Tests on HyperExecute from your Local System, you are required:

tip

Run your samplе tеsts on HyperExecute using our samplе Android and iOS applications:

Step 1: Setup Your Test Suite​

You can use your own project to configure and test it. For demo purposes, we are using the sample repository.

Step 2: Setup the CLI in your Test Suite​

After cloning / downloading the sample repo, you need to setup the CLI and the environment variables.

Download the HyperExecute CLI​

The CLI is used for triggering the tests on HyperExecute. It is recommend to download the CLI binary on the host system and keep it in the root directory of the suite to perform the tests on HyperExecute.

You can download the CLI for your desired platform from the below mentioned links:

PlatformHyperExecute CLI
Windowshttps://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/windows/hyperexecute.exe
MacOShttps://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/darwin/hyperexecute
Linuxhttps://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/linux/hyperexecute

Setup Environment Variable​

Now, you need to export your environment variables LT_USERNAME and LT_ACCESS_KEY that are available in the LambdaTest Profile page.

Run the below mentioned commands in your terminal to setup the CLI and the environment variables.

export LT_USERNAME="undefined"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"

Step 3: Upload your Application​

Upload your iOS application (.app file) or Android application (.apk file) to the LambdaTest servers using our REST API. You need to provide your Username and AccessKey in the format Username:AccessKey in the cURL command for authentication. Make sure to add the path of the appFile in the cURL request. Here is an example cURL request to upload your app using our REST API:

curl -u "undefined:undefined" --location --request POST 'https://manual-api.lambdatest.com/app/upload/virtualDevice' --form 'name="Android_App"' --form 'appFile=@"/Users/macuser/Downloads/proverbial_android.apk"'

Response of above cURL will be a JSON object containing the App URL of the format lt://APP123456789123456789

Step 4: Update Your Automation Script​

Here is a sample automation script in Java for the sample app downloaded above. In the below test script, ensure to update the app_url, or app_id

Set the Capability

To run the test on Emulator/Simulator, set the isRealMobile capability to false.

@Test
@org.testng.annotations.Parameters(value = {"device", "version", "platform"})
public void AndroidApp1(String device, String version, String platform) {
    version = System.getProperty("platformVersion");
    try {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("build","Java TestNG Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("name",platform+" "+device+" "+version);
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", device);
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion",version);
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", platform);
        capabilities.setCapability("isRealMobile", false);

        capabilities.setCapability("app", "lt://APP1123456789"); //Enter your app url
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceOrientation", "PORTRAIT");
        capabilities.setCapability("console", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("network", false);
        // capabilities.setCapability("visual", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("devicelog", true);
        //capabilities.setCapability("geoLocation", "HK");
  1. Create .XML file in order to run your test and define device capabilities. Please find sample code below for the same.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite thread-count="100" name="Mobile" parallel="tests">


    <test name="AppTest 1">
        <parameter name="version" value="11"/>
        <parameter name="platform" value="Android"/>
        <parameter name="device" value="Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G"/>
        <classes>
            <class name="AndroidApp"/>
        </classes>
    </test>

    <test name="AppTest 2">
        <parameter name="version" value="11"/>
        <parameter name="platform" value="Android"/>
        <parameter name="device" value="Galaxy S21"/>
        <classes>
            <class name="AndroidApp"/>
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

Step 5: Configure YAML in your Test Suite​

---
version: 0.2
globalTimeout: 150
testSuiteTimeout: 150
testSuiteStep: 150

runson: android

concurrency: 2

autosplit: true

retryOnFailure: false
maxRetries: 1

appium: true
framework:
  name: maven/testng
  defaultReports: false
  discoveryType: xmltest
  flags: ["-Pios-single"]

jobLabel: ['HYP', 'Virtual Device', 'iOS', 'Single Device']

Step 6: Execute your Test Suite​

NOTE : In case of MacOS, if you get a permission denied warning while executing CLI, simply run chmod u+x ./hyperexecute to allow permission. In case you get a security popup, allow it from your System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General tab.

Run the below command in your terminal at the root folder of the project:

./hyperexecute --config RELATIVE_PATH_OF_YOUR_YAML_FILE

OR use this command if you have not exported your username and access key in the step 2.

./hyperexecute --user undefined --key undefined --config RELATIVE_PATH_OF_YOUR_YAML_FILE

Visit the HyperExecute Dashboard and check your Job status 🚀
