Karate and BrowserStack

Karate supports the W3C WebDriver protocol and can be used to run tests on BrowserStack.

The example in this folder demonstrates how to run a test on BrowserStack using Karate. All you need is a BrowserStack account and the URL (which encodes your credentials).

All you need to do in Karate is perform the configure driver step as per the documentation. You can also pass the name of your project, build and test-case which will be used by BrowserStack to organize results in your dashboard view.

Note how bstack:options are added to the WebDriver "capabilities":

  * def browserStackOptions = { projectName: 'Karate and Browser Stack', buildName: 'myBuild', sessionName: '#(karate.feature.prefixedPath)' }
  * def session = { capabilities: { alwaysMatch: { browserName: 'chrome', browserVersion: 'latest', platformName: 'Windows 11', 'bstack:options': '#(browserStackOptions)' } } }
  * configure driver = { type: 'chromedriver', start: false, webDriverSession: '#(session)', webDriverUrl: '#(browserStackUrl)' }

Of course you can change the browserVersion and platformName to suit your needs. You will have to ensure that the Karate driver type matches the browserName, for example chromedriver for chrome. Refer to the Karate documentation for all possible types.

Also refer to the documentation of webDriverSession and webDriverUrl for more details.

Note that for a typical test-suite, you will set variables via the karate-config.js so you can switch browsers or between local and remote execution.
