How to upload file for automation tests with Mocha.js on LambdaTest cloud?

2

Hello Joe,

To upload a file in Mocha.js Testing for automation on Lambdatest cloud,you can download and use the below snippet code:

Step 1: Upload the file to LamdbaTest using API

Use the LambdaTest file upload API to upload the file to the backend -https://api.lambdatest.com/automation/api/v1/user-files

Step 2: Pass file in capabilities

In theconf/single.conf.jsfile, you need to update the test capabilities and add the filename for the lambda:userFiles capability. For example, if two files with filenames photo1.png and photo2.png, it has to be passed like so in the capability:

exports.capabilities = {
        'build': 'Mocha-Selenium-Sample', //Build name
        'name': 'Your Test Name', // Test name
        'platform':'Windows 10', // OS name
        'browserName': 'chrome', // Browser name
        'version': 'latest', // Browser version
        'visual': false,  // To take step by step screenshot
        'network':false,  // To capture network Logs
        'console':false, // To capture console logs.
        'tunnel': false, // If you want to run the localhost than change it to true
        "lambda:userFiles": ["photo1.png","photo2.png"],
};

Step 3: Use the file in your test

The files can be used in your test like so:

  • For Windows:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']").sendKeys("C:\\Users\\ltuser\\Downloads\\photo1.png")

  • For MacOS:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']").sendKeys("/Users/ltuser/Downloads/photo1.png")
