Pre-requisites

• An account with Github with valid permission to install new applications to your repositories.
• Basic understanding of Continuos Integration tools (CI) is required.
• Should have setup the SmartUI suite, else please read this.

Getting Started With Github App Integration with SmartUI

Steps 1: Integrate the your Lambdatest Account with GitHub App.

You can integrate your LambdaTest account with the GiHub application in the following ways:

• Using OAuth

Step 2: Select your GitHub repository

Go to your GitHub repository where you want to configure your SmartUI project. Check out our GitHub sample here.

Step 3: Configure your test suite

Add the Github capability to your current test configuration:

const capabilities: {
  platform: "Windows 10",
  browserName: "chrome",
  version: "latest",
  "smartUI.project": "Smart UI sample test",
   github: {
    "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/statuses/commitId", // Mandatory
    "owner": "{OWNER}",  //Optional
    "repo": "{REPO}",  //Optional
    "commit": "{commitId}" //Optional
   }
}

Step 4: Setting up your CI configuration

Setting up your CI workflow to execute on GitHub. Here is an example setup with GitHub Actions:

Go to .github/workflows/<your_ci_file>.yml.

    name: Execute SmartUI Test with Github App Integration
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1

    - name: Create commit status
      run: |
        API_HOST=https://api.github.com
        # Check out the PR branch
        git checkout $GITHUB_HEAD_REF
        # Get the commit ID of the last commit
        COMMIT_ID=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
        echo "Last commit ID of PR: $COMMIT_ID"
        GITHUB_URL=$API_HOST/repos/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY/statuses/$COMMIT_ID
        echo "GITHUB_URL: $GITHUB_URL"
        echo "GITHUB_URL=$GITHUB_URL" >> $GITHUB_ENV
        

Step5: Execute your test suite with CI

After the setup is completed, you can now execute your test suite with the Continuos Integration (CI) pipeline with any tool of your choice.

Please Note: On running the tests with this repository the user should be able to trigger the GitHub Action and execute the SmartUI tests for Selenium, Cypress, CDP, and Taiko frameworks. As this action does not work for StoryBook, check our how you can SmartUI test with StoryBook here.

Step 6: Commit you changes over git on a branch and raise the PR to main branch.

Step 7: Now you will see the lambdatest-smartui-app in the PR.
