Running Nightwatch tests on LambdaTest is super simple. Just update your nightwatch.conf.js with the LambdaTest hub URL and your credentials, then set the desired capabilities (like browser name and version). Execute as usual with npx nightwatch.

I use LambdaTest for cross-browser runs. You just need to add the selenium_host and selenium_port in your config pointing to their cloud grid. Works great for testing across Chrome, Edge, and Safari without local setup.

If you’re stuck configuring it, the LambdaTest documentation has prebuilt config samples for Nightwatch. Once connected, you’ll see live sessions with video logs, super handy for debugging failures.
