How to get session ID of a running test via script in JS-Mocha?

Hey Toby,

To start a remote browser with the desired capabilities based on the LambdaTest platform and get the session ID of a running test using JavaScript with Mocha, you can utilize the LambdaTest JavaScript SDK along with Selenium WebDriver. Here’s a basic example:

const { remote } = require('webdriverio');
const LambdaTest = require('@lambdatest/node');

// LambdaTest credentials
const LT_USERNAME = 'your_username';
const LT_ACCESS_KEY = 'your_access_key';

// LambdaTest configuration
const lambdatestClient = new LambdaTest(LT_USERNAME, LT_ACCESS_KEY);

// Selenium WebDriver configuration for LambdaTest
const lambdatestConfig = {
    user: LT_USERNAME,
    key: LT_ACCESS_KEY,
    capabilities: {
        browserName: 'chrome', // or any other browser supported by LambdaTest
        platform: 'win10', // or any other platform supported by LambdaTest
        version: 'latest', // or any other browser version supported by LambdaTest
        name: 'Your Test Name' // your test name
    }
};

(async () => {
    // Start session
    const browser = await remote(lambdatestConfig);

    // Get session ID
    const sessionId = await browser.sessionId;
    console.log('Session ID:', sessionId);

    // Perform your test actions here

    // End session
    await browser.deleteSession();

    // Print session status
    const sessionDetails = await lambdatestClient.getSessions(sessionId);
    console.log('Session Status:', sessionDetails[0].status);
})();

Make sure to replace ‘your_username’ and ‘your_access_key’ with your actual LambdaTest username and access key. Adjust the desired capabilities according to your requirements.
