Configuration

WebdriverIO has LambdaTest support out of the box. You should simply set user and key in your wdio.conf.js file. To enable the feature for app automation, set product: 'appAutomation' in your wdio.conf.js file. This service plugin provides supports for LambdaTest Tunnel. Set tunnel: true also to activate this feature.

// wdio.conf.js
exports.config = {
// ...
user: process.env.LT_USERNAME,
key: process.env.LT_ACCESS_KEY,
logFile : './logDir/api.log',
product : 'appAutomation',
services: [
['lambdatest', {
tunnel: true
}]
],
// ...
};

To get test error remarks on automation dashboard

To get test error remarks on automation dashboard, simply add ltErrorRemark: true in your wdio.conf.js.

To upload app from local or url

Upload android or ios apps from local or hosted app url by adding this required configuration in your wdio.conf.js. To use the uploaded app for testing along in the same run set enableCapability = true , this will set the app url value in the capabilities.

// wdio.conf.js
services: [
[
"lambdatest",
{
tunnel: true,
app_upload: true,
app:{
app_name : "xyz", //provide your desired app name
