saucelabs

What is saucelabs?

The 'saucelabs' npm package provides a Node.js client for interacting with the Sauce Labs API. Sauce Labs is a cloud-based platform for automated testing of web and mobile applications. This package allows you to manage Sauce Labs resources, such as jobs, tunnels, and assets, programmatically.

What are saucelabs's main functionalities?

Managing Jobs

This feature allows you to manage and retrieve details about your Sauce Labs jobs. The code sample demonstrates how to get details of a specific job using its job ID.

const { SauceLabs } = require('saucelabs');
const saucelabs = new SauceLabs({ user: 'your-username', key: 'your-access-key' });

async function getJobDetails(jobId) {
  const job = await saucelabs.getJob(jobId);
  console.log(job);
}

getJobDetails('your-job-id');

Managing Tunnels

This feature allows you to manage Sauce Connect tunnels. The code sample demonstrates how to list all active tunnels.

const { SauceLabs } = require('saucelabs');
const saucelabs = new SauceLabs({ user: 'your-username', key: 'your-access-key' });

async function getTunnels() {
  const tunnels = await saucelabs.listTunnels();
  console.log(tunnels);
}

getTunnels();

Uploading Assets

This feature allows you to upload assets to a specific job. The code sample demonstrates how to upload a file to a job using its job ID.

const { SauceLabs } = require('saucelabs');
const saucelabs = new SauceLabs({ user: 'your-username', key: 'your-access-key' });

async function uploadAsset(jobId, filePath) {
  const response = await saucelabs.uploadJobAssets(jobId, { files: [filePath] });
  console.log(response);
}

uploadAsset('your-job-id', 'path/to/your/file');

Other packages similar to saucelabs

webdriverio

WebdriverIO is a popular testing utility for Node.js that provides a high-level API for browser automation. It supports multiple browser drivers and services, including Sauce Labs. Compared to the 'saucelabs' package, WebdriverIO offers a more comprehensive solution for writing and running tests, while 'saucelabs' focuses on managing Sauce Labs resources.

selenium-webdriver

Selenium WebDriver is a widely-used tool for browser automation. It provides bindings for multiple programming languages, including JavaScript. While Selenium WebDriver can be used with Sauce Labs for running tests on their cloud infrastructure, it does not provide the same level of resource management capabilities as the 'saucelabs' package.

cypress

Cypress is an end-to-end testing framework that aims to make testing fast, easy, and reliable. It provides a rich API for writing tests and a powerful test runner. While Cypress does not natively integrate with Sauce Labs, it can be configured to run tests on Sauce Labs infrastructure. Compared to 'saucelabs', Cypress focuses more on the testing experience and less on resource management.
