Behat Supports Mobile Automation for Portarit & Landscape orientation with SauceLabs:
Hope you enjoyed my Guest Blog post on official Sauce Labs blog about ‘Testing Your Mobile Apps with Behat and SauceLabs’. We have seen how to run your BDD scenarios on the moble devices with use of Behat and SauceLabs combination.
We have just added support for mobile test automation with Portrait, Landscape orientation and different device types. We have added more Saucelabs supported Selenium WebDriver desired capabilities to Mink Extention’s Selenium2 Driver, so that we can run BDD scenarios both for Landscape and Portait orientation. This applies for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
Whats New in Desired Capabilities?
- deviceOrientation
Now, It’s possible to We run our scenarios with ‘landscape’ or ‘portrait’ devices. Default is ‘Portrait’. Just by adding some parameters to capabilities in the behat.yml like this
|
1 |
capabilities: { "platform": "Mac 10.8", "version": "6", "name": "Testing Lanscape iPad", "deviceOrientation": "landscape"} |
- deviceType
|
1 |
capabilities: { "platform": "Mac 10.8", "version": "6", "name": "Testing Tablet", "deviceType": "tablet"} |
- name
Notice that we have also added ‘name’ in order to giver proper name for your Scenarios.
We ned to create profile in our behat.yml, one for ‘landscape and other for ‘portrait’ to run our scenarios on iPad. See how our behat.yml Looks like
