## Pre-requisites



Before getting started with Selenium automation testing on LambdaTest, you need to:



* Download and install **NodeJS**. You should be having **NodeJS v6** or newer. Click [here](https://nodejs.org/en/) to download.

* Make sure you are using the latest version of **JavaScript**.

* Install **npm** from the official website by clicking [here](https://www.npmjs.com/).

* Download [Selenium JavaScript bindings](https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/) from the official website. Latest versions of **Selenium Client** and **WebDriver** are ideal for running your JavaScript automation testing script on LambdaTest’s Selenium Grid.



### Installing Selenium Dependencies and tutorial repo



**Step 1:** Clone the LambdaTest’s [mocha-selenium-sample repository](https://github.com/LambdaTest/mocha-selenium-sample) and navigate to the code directory as shown below:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/mocha-selenium-sample

cd mocha-selenium-sample

```

**Step 2:** Install the required project dependencies using the command below:

```bash

npm i

npm install selenium-webdriver

```



### Setting up Your Authentication



Make sure you have your LambdaTest credentials with you to run test automation scripts on LambdaTest Selenium Grid. You can obtain these credentials from the [LambdaTest Automation Dashboard](https://automation.lambdatest.com/build/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo&utm_campaign=mocha-selenium-sample) or through [LambdaTest Profile](https://accounts.lambdatest.com/login/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo&utm_campaign=mocha-selenium-sample).



Set LambdaTest `Username` and `Access Key` in environment variables.



  * For **Linux/macOS**:

```js

export LT_USERNAME= "YOUR_LAMBDATEST_USERNAME" 

export LT_ACCESS_KEY= "YOUR_LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY"

```



  * For **Windows**:



```js

$env:LT_USERNAME="YOUR_LAMBDATEST_USERNAME" 

$env:LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY"

```



## Run Your First Test



### Sample Test with MochaJS



**Test Scenario:** Check out [single_test.js](https://github.com/LambdaTest/mocha-selenium-sample/blob/master/specs/single_test.js) file to view the sample test script for running your first test.



### Configuration of Your Test Capabilities



In `conf/single.conf.js` file, you need to update your capabilities. In this code, we are passing browser, browser version, and operating system information, along with LambdaTest Selenium grid capabilities via capabilities object. The capabilities object in the above code are defined as:

```js

exports.capabilities = {

        'build': 'Mocha-Selenium-Sample', //Build name

        'name': 'Your Test Name', // Test name

        'platform':'Windows 10', // OS name

        'browserName': 'chrome', // Browser name

        'version': 'latest', // Browser version

        'visual': false,  // To take step by step screenshot

        'network':false,  // To capture network Logs

        'console':false, // To capture console logs.

        'tunnel': false // If you want to run the localhost than change it to true

};

```

> You can generate capabilities for your test requirements with the help of our inbuilt **[Capabilities Generator tool](https://www.lambdatest.com/capabilities-generator/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo&utm_campaign=mocha-selenium-sample)**.



## Executing the Test



The tests can be executed in the terminal using the following command.

```bash

npm run single

```

Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on [LambdaTest automation dashboard](https://automation.lambdatest.com/build). LambdaTest Automation Dashboard will help you view all your text logs, screenshots and video recording for your entire automation tests.



## Running Your Parallel Tests Using Mocha Framework



### Setting up the Parallel Environment



**Test Scenario:** Check out the [parallel_test.js](https://github.com/LambdaTest/mocha-selenium-sample/blob/master/specs/parallel_test.js) file which would help you to run a single test on various browsers at the same time.



## Executing Parallel Tests using Mocha



To run parallel tests using **Mocha**, we would have to execute the below command in the terminal:

```bash

npm run parallel

```

Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on [LambdaTest automation dashboard](https://automation.lambdatest.com/build/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo&utm_campaign=mocha-selenium-sample).



## Testing Locally Hosted or Privately Hosted Projects



You can test your locally hosted or privately hosted projects with [LambdaTest Selenium grid cloud](https://www.lambdatest.com/selenium-automation/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo&utm_campaign=mocha-selenium-sample) using LambdaTest Tunnel app. All you would have to do is set up an SSH tunnel using LambdaTest Tunnel app and pass toggle `tunnel = True` via desired capabilities. LambdaTest Tunnel establishes a secure SSH protocol based tunnel that allows you in testing your locally hosted or privately hosted pages, even before they are made live.



>Refer our [LambdaTest Tunnel documentation](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/testing-locally-hosted-pages/) for more information.



Here’s how you can establish LambdaTest Tunnel.



>Download the binary file of:

>* [LambdaTest Tunnel for Windows](https://downloads.lambdatest.com/tunnel/v3/windows/64bit/LT_Windows.zip)

* [LambdaTest Tunnel for Mac](https://downloads.lambdatest.com/tunnel/v3/mac/64bit/LT_Mac.zip)

* [LambdaTest Tunnel for Linux](https://downloads.lambdatest.com/tunnel/v3/linux/64bit/LT_Linux.zip)



Open command prompt and navigate to the binary folder.



Run the following command:

```bash

LT -user {user’s login email} -key {user’s access key}

```

So if your user name is [email protected] and key is 123456, the command would be:

```bash

LT -user [email protected] -key 123456

```

Once you are able to connect **LambdaTest Tunnel** successfully, you would just have to pass on tunnel capabilities in the code shown below :



**Tunnel Capability**

```js

const capabilities = {

        tunnel: true,

}

```
