Browserstack overview
Browserstack App Automate is a popular cloud device farm.
This integration is currently Android-only.
Change runner
Modify the app-level build.gradle:
android/app/build.gradle
android {
// ...
defaultConfig {
//...
testInstrumentationRunner "pl.leancode.patrol.BrowserstackPatrolJUnitRunner"
}
// ...
}
// ...
That's all!
Upload to Browserstack
To run Android UI tests on BrowserStack:
- Build the app under test and the instrumentation app (see docs)
- Upload the app under test APK to Browserstack (see docs)
- Upload the instrumentation app APK to Browserstack (see docs)
- Start test execution on Browserstack (see docs)
You can do it all manually, but we recommend using the bs_android script to
speed up this process. bs_android is part of LeanCode's mobile-tools. If
you're using Homebrew, you can install it with:
brew tap leancodepl/tools
brew install mobile-tools
The bs_android script requires the BROWSERSTACK_CREDS environment variable
to be set so it can authenticate with Browserstack:
export YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
Get your username and access on Browserstack's account page.
Now reload your shell (e.g. exec zsh) and run bs_android:
$ export BROWSERSTACK_PROJECT=AwesomeApp # optional
$ export BROWSERSTACK_DEVICES="[\"Google Pixel 4-10.0\"]" # optional
$ bs_android
