Add ability to use a remote selenium server that requires auth

[yyx990803]

Currently nightwatch seems to only run locally. Would be great to e.g. run tests on Sauce Labs using nightwatch saucelabs:

{
  ...        
  "test_settings" : {
    "default" : {
      ...
    },
    "saucelabs" : {
      "selenium_host": "ondemand.saucelabs.com",
      "selenium_port": 80,
      "username": ...,
      "key": ...
    }
  }        
}

Thanks for submitting this, I'll look into it.

Are there any plans to add BrowserStack integration?

[beatfactor]

Yes, soon after saucelabs support will be added.

👍

Support for saucelabs is added. Use as follows or check the sample settings.json file inside the bin folder:

"saucelabs" : {
      "selenium_host": "ondemand.saucelabs.com",
      "selenium_port": 80,
      "username": ...,
      "access_key": ...
    }

Wow that was fast, thank you and great job!

[beatfactor]

timcrider, I think it may already work with BrowserStack as well? Could you give it a try please?

[dudeman]

Confirmed. This works with BrowserStack.

"browserstack" : {
      "selenium_host": "hub.browserstack.com",
      "selenium_port": 80,
      "username": ...,
      "access_key": ...
    }

Greetings,

I've added
"saucelabs" : {
"selenium_host": "ondemand.saucelabs.com",
"selenium_port": 80,
"username": ...,
"access_key": ...
}

to my nightwatch.json file in the bin directory, but am getting a "No testing environment specified" error when I run my test from the cmd line. Anyone else run into this?

You need to pass in the 'environment' via the -e command line argument..

[Frandango]

Got it working, thank you davidlinse!

Anyone here using Sauceconnect with nightwatch? need info on how it is to be setup.

Hello everyone! Some support needed.

My nightwatch configuration looks like this:
<...>
'test_settings': {
'default': {
'launch_url': 'http://localhost:8085',
'selenium_port': 80,
'selenium_host': 'ondemand.saucelabs.com',
'silent': true,
'username': my_username,
'access_key': my_key,
<...>
But I keep receiving an error "Error, no user specified."
What is a proper syntax for specifying the username in nightwatch configuration in this case?
I also tried:
'username': 'my_username'

and

'username': ${my_username}

Thanks in advance!
