*Learn how to use Node.js environment to configure and run your JavaScript automation testing scripts on the [LambdaTest Selenium cloud platform](https://www.lambdatest.com/selenium-automation/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo&utm_campaign=nodejs-selenium-sample).*

## Pre-requisites



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



* Download and install **NodeJS**. You should be having **NodeJS v6 to NodeJS v16**. 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



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



```bash

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

cd nodejs-selenium-sample

```

You need to install the following dependencies to your `package.json` file: 



You will need to install the `selenium webdriver` to make the connection to the `GRID`: 



```bash

npm install selenium-webdriver

```



Create a new file as `index.js` in your current project or the sample folder and add the below code snippet which will call the installed driver. 



```js

// index.js

const webdriver = require('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=nodejs-selenium-sample) or through [LambdaTest Profile](https://accounts.lambdatest.com/login/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo&utm_campaign=nodejs-selenium-sample).



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



  * For **Linux/macOS**:

  ```bash

  export LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME" export LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"

  ```

  * For **Windows**:

  ```bash

  set LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME" set LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"

  ```



### Connecting to The Cloud Grid



Now you can add the `GRID HOST` which is used to connect your current test suites to be executed on the cloud grid. 



```js

// index.js

const GRID_HOST = 'hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub';

const gridUrl = 'https://' + USERNAME + ':' + KEY + '@' + GRID_HOST;

const driver = new webdriver.Builder().usingServer(gridUrl).withCapabilities(capabilities).build();

```

The above grid connect will create the `Webdriver` for the test suite to execute the `Selenium` commands for your test. 



## Run Your First Test



### Configuration of Your Test Capabilities



In the test script, you need to update your test 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

// index.js

const capabilities = {

        build: 'NodeJS build',  // Name of the build

        name: 'Test 1',         // Name of the test

        platform: 'windows 10', // Name of Operating System

        browserName: 'chrome',  // Name of the browser

        version: '67.0',        // Version of the browser

        resolution: '1280x800', // Resolution of the screen 

        network: true,          // Enable to capture browser network logs

        visual: true,           // Enable to capture screenshot on every command

        console: true,          // Enable to capture the console log

        video: true             // Enable to capture the video recording of the test

}

```

> **Note:** 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=nodejs-selenium-sample)**.



### Writing your Test Cases



Now you write your selenium test cases in your `index.js` file:



```js

function searchTextOnGoogle() {

    // navigate to a url, search for a text and get title of page

    driver.get('https://www.google.com/ncr').then(function () {

        driver.findElement(webdriver.By.name('q')).sendKeys('LambdaTest\n').then(function () {

            driver.getTitle().then(function (title) {

                setTimeout(function () {

                    console.log(title);

                    driver.executeScript('lambda-status=passed');

                    driver.quit();

                }, 5000);

            });

        });

    }).catch(function (err) {

        console.log("test failed with reason " + err)

        driver.executeScript('lambda-status=failed');

        driver.quit();

    });

}

searchTextOnGoogle();

```



## Executing the Test



Please execute the following command below to run your tests: 



```bash

npm test OR node index.js

```

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=nodejs-selenium-sample). LambdaTest Automation Dashboard will help you view all your text logs, screenshots and video recording for your entire automation tests.



## 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=nodejs-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,

}

```
