Executing Webdriverio test Parallely.

1. Will use the same test script over different configration to demonstarte parallel testing. Parallel testing with webdriverio will help you to run multiple test cases simultaneously.

npm run parallel

Routing traffic through your local machine

• Set tunnel value to true in test capabilities

OS specific instructions to download and setup tunnel binary can be found at the following links.

• Windows
• Mac
• Linux

Run test locally

npm run local

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".

Notes
