Where are the code examples for connecting your tests to Sauce Connect?

Question

and looked through Internet but I can't find any documentation on how to convert my Selenium tests to use Sauce Connect.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers

By default, Sauce Connect will be available via http://localhost:4445, so you should just need to change your tests from:

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://" + username + ":" + accessKey + "@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub"), capabilities);

to:

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://" + username + ":" + accessKey + "@localhost:4445/wd/hub"), capabilities);

You shouldn't need to change your actual test logic when running tests with Sauce Connect.

I've created a demo project, which primarily demonstrates how to construct tests to work with the Sauce plugins for Jenkins and Bamboo, but also includes a sample SauceConnectTest which asserts that tests can be run against a local website with Sauce Labs using Sauce Connect.

Does this mean my test need to be run on the same box as SauceConnect? – BanksySan Mar 23 '13 at 04:02

No, if Sauce Connect is launched on another server, then you just need to reference that server URL, eg. new URL("http://" + username + ":" + accesskey + "@some.other.host:4445/wd/hub") – Ross Rowe Mar 23 '13 at 04:35

Thanks for the answer. i should note that the SauceLabs online documentation does not give this answer in this much detail. Thanks. – djangofan Mar 30 '15 at 22:39
Saucelabs online documentation still doesn't have this info even after 3 years. Thanks for detailed info – vikramvi Nov 18 '17 at 06:40

To initialize the webDriver use this:

WebDriver webDriver = null;
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setBrowserName("firefox");
webDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://" + username + ":" + accessKey + "@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Now test the site, whatever you need, lets say you need google:

webDriver.get("http://www.google.com");
