Requirements

• Node.js: 20.0.0 or higher.
• BrowserStack Account: Please ensure that your BrowserStack account contains the required subscription(s) for using the APIs provided by these modules.

Add your BrowserStack username and API key to the following environment variables for your shell:

BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<your-username>

You may also supply these credentials in code when creating an instance of an API client.

Basic Usage

Each client is exported from its own package:

import { AutomateClient } from "@dot-slash/browserstack-automate";
import { AccessibilityClient } from "@dot-slash/browserstack-accessibility";
import { AppAutomateClient } from "@dot-slash/browserstack-app-automate";
import { TestManagementClient } from "@dot-slash/browserstack-test-management";

// BrowserStack Automate API
const automateClient = new AutomateClient();
const plan = await automateClient.getPlan();
console.log(plan);

// BrowserStack Accessibility API
const accessibilityClient = new AccessibilityClient();
const reports = await accessibilityClient.getWorkflowAnalyzerReports();
console.log(reports);

// BrowserStack Test Management API
const tmClient = new TestManagementClient();
const projects = await tmClient.getProjects();
console.log(projects);

More Clients

App Automate

import { AppAutomateClient } from "@dot-slash/browserstack-app-automate";

const appAutomateClient = new AppAutomateClient();
const projects = await appAutomateClient.getProjects();
const builds = await appAutomateClient.getBuilds(projects[0].id);
console.log(builds);

Test Reporting

import { TestReportingClient } from "@dot-slash/browserstack-test-reporting";

const trClient = new TestReportingClient();

const build = await trClient.startBuild({
  projectName: "my-project",
  buildName: "my-build",
  framework: "playwright",
});

// ... run tests, report results ...

await trClient.finishBuild(build.buildHashedId, { status: "passed" });

Screenshots

import { ScreenshotsClient } from "@dot-slash/browserstack-screenshots";

const screenshotsClient = new ScreenshotsClient();

const screenshots = await screenshotsClient.launch(
  {
    url: "https://example.com",
    browsers: [{ browser: "chrome", browser_version: "latest", os: "Windows", os_version: "11" }],
  },
  (screenshot) => console.log("captured:", screenshot.imageUrl)
);

CLI Usage

The monorepo also provides a unified CLI for interacting with various BrowserStack products and managing Local Testing:

# List projects in Automate
$ npx @dot-slash/browserstack-cli automate list-projects

# List Accessibility workflow analyzer reports
$ npx @dot-slash/browserstack-cli accessibility workflow-analyzer list

# Local Testing
$ npx @dot-slash/browserstack-cli local start
$ npx @dot-slash/browserstack-cli local stop
$ npx @dot-slash/browserstack-cli local list

# Run a command with Local Testing automatically managed
$ npx @dot-slash/browserstack-cli local run-with -- npm test

Additional Features (Node.js only)

Running the BrowserStackLocal binary requires the @dot-slash/browserstack-local-testing package.

import { LocalTestingBinary } from "@dot-slash/browserstack-local-testing";

const localTestingBinary = new LocalTestingBinary({
  accessKey: "<your-access-key>",
});

await localTestingBinary.start();
// ... run tests ...
await localTestingBinary.stop();
