AWS CodePipeline Integration With LambdaTest

AWS CodePipeline is a cloud-based continuous delivery platform for fully automating your release pipelines. Provides an intuitive interface for configuring & modeling different stages of release cycles, so you can envision how your code changes would look when pushed across these different changes. You can also track your pipeline in real-time, and look into the pipeline history to understand the timestamps involved in the execution of various pipelines.

LambdaTest integration with AWS CodePipeline will help you perform automated cross browser testing through a Selenium Grid offering 3000+ real browsers, browser versions. Now, not only can you commit changes to your code using AWS CodePipeline, but you can also validate any UI/UX anomalies of your web application through a wide variety of browsers using LambdaTest, a cloud-based cross browser testing tool.

Prerequisite​

  • Login details in AWS CodePipeline CI.

  • A GitHub repository. Here is our sample GitHub repository for AWS CodePipeline.

  • LambdaTest Authentication Credentials
    Be aware of your LambdaTest authentication credentials, i.e., your LambdaTest username, access key,a and HubURL. You need to set them up as your environment variables. You can retrieve them from your LambdaTest automation dashboard by clicking on the key icon near the help button.

    • For Linux/Mac:

      $ export LT_USERNAME= {YOUR_LAMBDATEST_USERNAME}
      $ export LT_ACCESS_KEY= {YOUR_LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY}

    • For Windows:

      $ set LT_USERNAME= {YOUR_LAMBDATEST_USERNAME}
      $ set LT_ACCESS_KEY= {YOUR_LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY}

Integrating Your LambdaTest Account With AWS CodePipeline​

Step 1: Login to your AWS CodePipeline instance. Visit the Pipelines page and create a new pipeline.

Note: Find the sample code from our GitHub repository for AWS CodePipeline.

Step 7: Start a build and pull the codes from Git. Read the below buildspec.yml from your project’s root directory.

version: 0.2
env:
  variables:
    LT_USERNAME: "{your_lambda_username}"
    LT_ACCESS_KEY: "{your_lambda_access_key}"
phases:
  install:
    runtime-versions:
      nodejs: 10
  pre_build:
    commands:
      - echo Installing source NPM dependencies...
      - npm install
      - npm install -g protractor
  build:
    commands:
      - echo Build started on `date`
      - cd conf
      - protractor single.conf.js
artifacts:
  files:
      - '**/*'
  base-directory: 'dist*'
discard-paths: yes

Step 8: Monitor your test being triggered on the LambdaTest platform. You will observe the below output generated.
