Learn how to use Ruby framework to configure and run your Java automation testing scripts on the LambdaTest platform

- Run-Your-First-Test
- Executing-The-Test
- Testing Locally Hosted or Privately Hosted Projects
Before you can start performing Ruby automation testing with Selenium, you would need to:
-
Install Ruby and gem on your local system. Follow these instructions to install on different operating systems.
- For Windows, you can download from the official website.
- For Linux or Ubuntu, you can run a simple apt command like below:
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
- For macOS, you can run a Homebrew command like this:
brew install ruby
-
To run tests in parallel you will require the parallel_tests gem.
-
LambdaTest binary file for running tests on your locally hosted web pages.
Clone the LambdaTest’s ruby-selenium-sample repository and navigate to the code directory as shown below:
git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/ruby-selenium-sample.git
cd ruby-selenium-sampleInstall selenium dependencies for Ruby automation testing.
gem install bundler
bundle installMake sure you have your LambdaTest credentials with you to run test automation scripts with Jest on LambdaTest Selenium Grid. You can obtain these credentials from the LambdaTest Automation Dashboard or through LambdaTest Profile.
Set LambdaTest Username and Access Key in environment variables.
- For Linux/macOS:
export LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME" export LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY" - For Windows:
set LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME" set LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"
Test Scenario: The to-do list example mentioned in the lambdatest.rb sample file would help you to execute your automation test using Ruby.
In the test script, you need to update your test capabilities. In this code, we are passing browser, browser version, and operating system information, along with LambdaTest Selenium grid capabilities via capabilities object. The capabilities in the above code are defined as:
caps = {
:browserName => "chrome",
:version => "latest",
:platform => "windows 10",
:geoLocation => "US",
:name => "LambdaTest ruby google search name",
:build => "LambdaTest ruby google search build",
:network => false,
:visual => false,
:video => true,
:console => false
} You can generate capabilities for your test requirements with the help of our inbuilt Capabilities Generator tool.
To execute the test script, run the following script on terminal/cmd.
bundle exec ruby todo-click-test.rb Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on LambdaTest automation dashboard. LambdaTest Automation Dashboard will help you view all your text logs, screenshots and video recording for your entire automation tests.
You can test your locally hosted or privately hosted projects with LambdaTest Selenium grid cloud using LambdaTest Tunnel app. All you would have to do is set up an SSH tunnel using LambdaTest Tunnel app and pass toggle tunnel = True via desired capabilities. LambdaTest Tunnel establishes a secure SSH protocol based tunnel that allows you in testing your locally hosted or privately hosted pages, even before they are made live.
Refer our LambdaTest Tunnel documentation for more information.
Here’s how you can establish LambdaTest Tunnel.
Download the binary file of:
Open command prompt and navigate to the binary folder.
Run the following command:
LT -user {user’s login email} -key {user’s access key}So if your user name is [email protected] and key is 123456, the command would be:
LT -user [email protected] -key 123456Once you are able to connect LambdaTest Tunnel successfully, you would just have to pass on tunnel capabilities in the code shown below :
Tunnel Capability
caps = {
...
:tunnel => true,
