How to launch LambdaTest tunnel for running Mocha.js automation tests?

Hey Miro!

In order to initiate LambdaTest tunnel to perform Mocha.js testing, you need to follow the below steps -

  1. Download the LambdaTest tunnel binary.

  2. Start LambdaTest tunnel before test case execution. Please check the below code snippet.

     const { exec } = require('child_process');
 describe("Mocha Todo Test " + caps.browserName, function() {
     var driver;
     this.timeout(0);
   
     //execute tunnel binary
     before(function(done) {
         let st = "./LT --user " + LT_USERNAME + " --key "+LT_ACCESS_KEY;
         exec(st, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
             if (err) {
               // node couldn't execute the command
               return;
             }
           
             // the *entire* stdout and stderr (buffered)
             console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
             console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
           });
     });
     //placeholder, write this function according to your test
     beforeEach(function(done) {done();});
   
     it("testcase", function(done) {
       //execute test case
     });
   
     //placeholder, write this function according to your test
     afterEach(function(done) {done();});

   });

  3. Set the capability "tunnel": true
