NIST Misses 2024 Deadline to Clear NVD Backlog
NIST has failed to meet its self-imposed deadline of clearing the NVD's backlog by the end of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, CVE's awaiting analysis have increased by 33% since June.
saucelabs
Advanced tools
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.
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');
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 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 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.
Wrapper around all Sauce Labs REST APIs for Node.js (v8 or higher) including support for Sauce Connect Proxy and TypeScript definitions.
To install the package run:
npm install saucelabs
Your Sauce Labs username.
Type: string
Default: process.env.SAUCE_USERNAME
Your Sauce Labs access key.
Type: string
Default: process.env.SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY
Your Sauce Labs datacenter region. The following regions are available:
us-west-1
(short us
)eu-central-1
(short eu
)us-east-1
(headless)Type: string
Default: us
If set to true you are accessing the headless Sauce instances (this discards the region
option).
Type: boolean
Default: false
If you want to tunnel your API request through a proxy please provide your proxy URL.
Type: string
Default: null
If you want to set request headers, as example {'User-Agent': 'node-saucelabs'}
Type: object
Default: {'User-Agent': 'saucelabs/<VERSION> (nodejs <PLATFORM>)'}
All accessible API commands with descriptions can be found here.
This package if installed globally can be used as CLI tool to access the API from the command line:
$ npm install -g saucelabs
...
$ sl listJobs $SAUCE_USERNAME --limit 5 --region eu
{ jobs:
[ { id: '19dab74f8fd848518f8d2c2cee3a6fbd' },
{ id: 'dc08ca0c7fa14eee909a093d11567328' },
{ id: '5bc6f70c777b4ae3bf7909a40f5ee41b' },
{ id: 'f40fe7b044754eaaa5f5a130406549b5' },
{ id: 'd1553f71f910402893f1e82a4dcb6ca6' } ] }
You can find all available commands and options with description by calling:
$ sl --help
# show description for specific command
$ sl listJobs --help
or update the job status by calling:
$ sl updateJob cb-onboarding 690c5877710c422d8be4c622b40c747f "{\"passed\":false}"
or download a job asset:
$ sl downloadJobAsset 690c5877710c422d8be4c622b40c747f video.mp4 --filepath ./video.mp4
or upload a job asset:
$ sl uploadJobAssets 690c5877710c422d8be4c622b40c747f --files ./video.mp4 --files ./log.json
or start Sauce Connect Proxy in EU datacenter:
# start Sauce Connect tunnel for eu-central-1 region
$ sl sc --region eu --tunnel-identifier "my-tunnel"
# run a specific Sauce Connect version
$ sl sc --scVersion 4.5.4
# see all available Sauce Connect parameters via:
$ sl sc --help
You can see all available Sauce Connect parameters on the Sauce Labs Docs.
The following example shows how to access details of the last job you were running with your account that is being exposed as environment variables as SAUCE_USERNAME
and SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY
. Alternatively you can pass the credentials via options
to the constructor:
import SauceLabs from 'saucelabs';
// if imports are not supported by your Node.js version, import the package as follows:
// const SauceLabs = require('saucelabs').default;
(async () => {
const myAccount = new SauceLabs();
// using constructor options
// const myAccount = new SauceLabs({ user: "YOUR-USER", key: "YOUR-ACCESS-KEY"});
// get full webdriver url from the client depending on region:
console.log(myAccount.webdriverEndpoint) // outputs "https://ondemand.us-west-1.saucelabs.com/"
// get job details of last run job
const jobs = await myAccount.listJobs(
process.env.SAUCE_USERNAME,
{ limit: 1, full: true }
);
console.log(jobs);

You may wonder why
listJobs
requires ausername
as first parameter since you've already defined the process.env. The reason for this is that Sauce Labs supports a concept of Team Accounts, so-called sub-accounts, grouped together. As such functions like the mentioned could list jobs not only for the requesting account, but also for the individual team account. Learn more about it here
webdriverEndpoint
propertyYou can use the webdriverEndpoint
property of the client to get the full WebDriver endpoint to connect to Sauce Labs, e.g.:
const myAccount = new SauceLabs({
user: "YOUR-USER",
key: "YOUR-ACCESS-KEY",
region: 'eu' // run in EU datacenter
});
// get full webdriver url from the client depending on `region` and `headless` option:
console.log(myAccount.webdriverEndpoint);
// outputs: "https://ondemand.eu-central-1.saucelabs.com/"
