Browserstack Inception

Technical assignment - BrowserStack Inception

bstack_inception.py

How to run the test ?

pytest -n 1 bstack_inception.py

The -n 1 flag is to run one one test at a time because this uses Browserstack live and multiple live sessions cannot be launched at once from the same account.

The -n flag is available because of the python library pytest-xdist.

What does it do?

• visit google.com
• search for "Browserstack"
• click on the correct entry from the google search results to visit Browserstack.com
• click on Sign in, thus, landing on the sign in page
• enter the email id and password and click submit
• from the live dashboard now, go to windows 11, and launch a live session with chrome 96
• inside the live session, there appears a banner for 'self signed certificate', click 'got it'
• search for browserstack on google inside the live session
• finally, stop the live session

The steps mentioned above are automated by bstack_inception.py

Some problems while running this with Browserstack remote driver

Visiting google.com fires up google in Dutch, because of which some element searches fail. for eg. input[aria-label="Search"] is actually input[aria-label="Zock"] (or something like that) Dutch.

Can be seen here - failure_due_to_location

Ways to solve this problem

• Using Browserstack local testing with the --force-local flag. Force-local-session

• Using "browserstack.geoLocation": "IE" in capabilitites. geolocation-session
