Step 1
Create a virtual environment by triggering the virtualenv venv command on the terminal
virtualenv venv
Step 2
Navigate the newly created virtual environment by triggering the source venv/bin/activate command on the terminal
source venv/bin/activateStep 3
Procure the LambdaTest User Name and Access Key by navigating to LambdaTest Account Page. You might need to create an an account on LambdaTest since it is used for running tests on the cloud Grid.
Step 4
Add the LambdaTest User Name and Access Key in the Makefile that is located in the parent directory. Once done, save the Makefile.
Run the make install command on the terminal to install the desired packages (or dependencies) - Pytest, Selenium, etc.
make install
With this, all the dependencies and environment variables are set. Instead of PyUnit/unittest, the Pytest framework is used for test execution. The LambdaTest Selenium Playground - Input Form Demo website is used for demonstration purposes.
Follow the below mentioned steps to run automated tests using Selenium Python:
Step 1
Change the EXEC_PLATFORM variable to local in .env in case you want to run tests on your local machine.
Alternatively, you can also set EXEC_PLATFORM environment variable to cloud. Trigger the command export EXEC_PLATFORM=local on the terminal.
Step 2
Trigger the command make clean to clean the remove pycache folder(s) and .pyc files
Step 3
Trigger the respective make command on the terminal to run the test(s). For example, run the command make tool_tip_verification_demo for triggering the test that validates the tool-tip.
As seen above, the test execution was successful and the status is "Completed". You can find the status of test execution in the LambdaTest Automation Dashboard.
