Desired Capabilities In Selenium

LambdaTest Desired Selenium Capabilities Generator autogenerates the capabilities class needed to run your Selenium and Appium automation testing scripts on LambdaTest Selenium Grid. The Selenium capabilities generator will provide you with the entire code of capabilities class based on your mouse-interactions from the UI. Also, you will get the code for your selected configurations in all of the six programming languages i.e. Java, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, C#, and Python.

This document will teach you how to leverage LambdaTest Capability Generator to easily for declaring desired capabilities in selenium for both desktop and mobile browsers.

In this document, we will talk about the following:

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

public class ChromeTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        // Set Chrome capabilities
        options.addArguments("--headless");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.get("http://example.com");
        // Your test code here
        driver.quit();
    }
}

For Firefox:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;

public class FirefoxTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
        // Set Firefox capabilities
        options.addArguments("--headless");

        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
        driver.get("http://example.com");
        // Your test code here
        driver.quit();
    }
}

In case you need to turn off the video recording, you can do so by turning off the button on our Desired Capabilities Generator. If you turn the video flag off, then for Java, it may provide the below piece of code in the capabilities class. `capabilities.setCapability("video",false);`	TRUE		video recording of the complete screen	Boolean	`capabilities.setCapability(""video"",false);`	Case Sensitive Unable to generate video Video is not playing in video player
visual	true, false	Command by command screenshots will be recorded at each test step. By default the flag is set as off. Note: test execution time will increase if it’s set as ‘true’. `capabilities.setCapability("visual",true)`;	FALSE	debug	Command by command screenshots will be recorded at each test step. By default the flag is set as off. Note: test execution time will increase if it’s set as ‘true’.	Boolean	`capabilities.setCapability(""visual"",true);`	Case sensitive Unable to generate screenshot Screenshot is broken
network	true, false	Captures a recording for network packets while the test gets executed. By default, the network flag is set as false. Note: test execution time will increase if it’s set as ‘true’. `capabilities.setCapability("network",true)`;	FALSE	networkLogs	recording for newtwork packets	Boolean	`capabilities.setCapability(""network"",true);`	Case sensitive Network logs not supported
console	true, false	JavaScript logs will be recorded for the test. By default, it is set as false. Note: test execution time will increase if it’s set as ‘true’. `capabilities.setCapability("console",true)`;	FALSE	Capture browser console errors	Capture browser console errors	String	Javascript logs will be recorded for the test. By default, it is set as false. `capabilities.setCapability("console","disable");`	Case Sensitive No error found Not supported on this browser
tunnel	true, false	To test your locally hosted web application with Lambda Tunnel, which establishes an SSH(Secure Shell) connection between your system and our cloud servers. By default, the tunnel flag, will be set as false. `capabilities.setCapability("tunnel",true);` Find more about Lambda Tunnel from our documentation to test on locally hosted web applications.	FALSE	local	To test your locally hosted web application with LambdaTest Tunnel which establishes an SSH(Secure Shell) connection between your system and our cloud servers. By default, the tunnel flag, will be set as false.	Boolean	`capabilities.setCapability("tunnel",true);` Find more about LambdaTest Tunnel from our documentation to test on locally hosted web applications.	Case Sensitive Tunnel not running
tunnelName	Your desire tunnel name	To provide the tunnel identifier in your test suite capability when user wants to execute the test through a particular tunnel `capabilities.setCapability("tunnelName","your desire tunnel name")`;		localName	Tunnel Name to identify your tunnel among all tunnels in your account	String	`capabilities.setCapability("tunnelName","your desire tunnel name");`	Case Sensitive Tunnel not running Tunnel Name not exists
timezone	Example: UTC+07:00	Represents the custom timezone you select for executing a test. `capabilities.setCapability("timezone","UTC+07:00")`;	UTC+00:00		Change the timezone of OS	String	`capabilities.setCapability("timezone","UTC+07:00");`	Case sensitive Timezone not supported by OS Timezone is different

View Lighthouse Performance Metrics

LambdaTest now integrates Lighthouse to view the performance metrics (Lighthouse Audits) on its online cloud based Selenium Grid. You can now view the scores of:

Performance,
Accessibility,
Best Practices,
SEO, and
Progressive Web App

metrics with the help of LambdaTest.

You can view the Lighthouse Performance metrics by enabling capability via code, using the below syntax:

capabilities.setCapability("performance", true);

Please refer to the Lighthouse Performance Metrics documentation.

Network Throttling

In order to validate your website on different network profiles (LTE/3G/2G), you can simulate these network conditions using our capabilities.

KEY	VALUES	CAPABILITY
networkThrottling	Regular 4G, Regular 3G, Regular 2G, Good 3G, Good 2G, Offline, Reset, GPRS, DSL	Based on the user-provided input, this capability helps to start test suite with default network. For example, if user selects the value Regular 4G then the capabilities will look like this: `capabilities.setCapability("networkThrottling", "Regular 4G");`

For more info, visit our documentation on Network Throttling.

Headless Browser

You can now perform Headless browser testing easily, by adding their capability to your desired capabilities.

You can either do that by selecting the option Headless, under the browser-specific capabilities in the Desired Capabilities Generator, as shown in the image below:

Or you can just enable the Headless capability via code, using the below syntax:

capabilities.setCapability("headless", true);

Please refer to Headless Browser Testing documentation for complete details.

Default Selenium Capabilities

KEY	VALUES	CAPABILITY
javascriptEnabled	true, false	Based on the user provided input, this capability helps to enable the support for JavaScript execution.
databaseEnabled	true, false	Decides if a session could communicate with the database.
locationContextEnabled	true, false	Decides if a session can use the features with respect to different geographic locations.
applicationCacheEnabled	true, false	Decides if a session is able to utilize the application cache.
browserConnectionEnabled	true, false	Determines the browser connectivity with respect to the query involved in the session. Also checks whether the session can be disabled if required by the end user.
webStorageEnabled	true, false	Decides if a session is able to connect with storage objects.
acceptSslCerts	true, false	Decides if a session by default should accept all SSL certificates.
unexpectedAlertBehaviour	accept, dismiss, ignore	Determines the action of a browser for handling alerts, prior to pointing the UnhandledAlertException.
elementScrollBehavior	integer	Determines the scrolling behavior according to the user provided input. The user can decide if the elements should be aligned to top(0) or bottom(1) with respect to the elements scroll-ability inside the viewport. By default the value is set to 1, aligning the scroll behavior to top. This is compatible with IE and Firefox (since 2.36)

Hide/Mask Sensitive Information Through Selenium Capabilities

With the help of maskCommands capability, you can now hide sensitive and important data, sent to or retrieve from the remote browsers at LambdaTest. When used, this will hide all the keystrokes and other required values, and replace them with ‘*’ in test session logs (both text and raw).

Syntax (Java):

capabilities.setCapability("lambdaMaskCommands", {"<array of values to be hidden>"});

List of comma separated values that can be hidden:

VALUE	DESCRIPTION
setValues	Hide/Redact all the text sent via sendKeys command.
setCookies	Hide/Redact all the cookies set by the addCookie command.
getCookies	Hide/Redact all the cookie values obtained using the getCookies and getCookieNamed command.

For example:

LANGUAGE	EXAMPLE
Java	capabilities.setCapability(“lambdaMaskCommands”, {“setValues”, “setCookies, getCookies”});
Node.js	capabilities[‘lambdaMaskCommands’] = [“setValues”, “setCookies”, “getCookies”]
C#	capabilities.SetCapability(“lambdaMaskCommands”, {“setValues”, “setCookies”, “getCookies”});
PHP	$capabilities[“lambdaMaskCommands”] = array(“setValues”, “setCookies”, “getCookies”)
Python	capabilities[“lambdaMaskCommands”] = [“setValues”, “setCookies”, “getCookies”]
Ruby	capabilities[“lambdaMaskCommands”] = [“setValues”, “setCookies”, “getCookies”]
