It is very easy to use the TestingBot Selenium grid together with Travis CI. Below is a guide to run your Selenium tests with Travis CI. We offer TestingBot status badges to indicate your Selenium tests status on your GitHub pages. ## Set up Travis CI Sign up at [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/) and connect your GitHub project with Travis CI. You can find information on how to do this at the Travis CI [help section](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/onboarding/). ## Sample Selenium Test Add a simple Selenium test to your GitHub project, modify the `.travis.yml` file in your repository to indicate you want to run a Selenium test. ```yaml language: node_js node_js: - 0.8 env: - [ {secure: "akuE0dld1Ke9mahjUUrQhUZRYWasdfewfwefewfZlbvOx\nqaPybirPGsDmImvcktaAkjLxpePd0V1+ak+4dws7dTrFfEsdvsdsdvsdvds2\nud1q5oGOzEqfiRGxY/fJHLWlaQ609Bsdfdsfds2VeY1Z/V7N9iQ="}, {secure: "JGfkAfr/SOlzV+NpgNi3fxP4F2usdfdsveGAppugHj1IxhoyjY\nOp07x4p1hdIfWVF03RqUrPNXkl72+yh53pv2fUzsdfsd3434GRjGy6J6\notuA/N+xs0+TP2ENlCmDauwO32Okfojvj7CgvsdfdsfRyaFzIGWPdw="} ] script: - "node tests/examples/*.js" ``` The two secure lines in the above example are your TestingBot key and secret, which are used to run a test on our TestingBot Selenium Grid. To generate these 2 lines, you need to install the Travis CI gem and run these commands with your own key and secret: ```ruby travis encrypt username/projectname TESTINGBOT_KEY=key travis encrypt username/projectname TESTINGBOT_SECRET=secret ``` Now you can use the encrypted `TESTINGBOT_KEY` and `TESTINGBOT_SECRET` environment variables in your tests. Remember to indicate your test's privacy setting as `public` (privacy = true) if you want to use the test status badges we provide. Here's an example in NodeJS: ```javascript var webdriverjs = require('tbwdjs'); var client = webdriverjs.remote({ host: 'hub.testingbot.com', desiredCapabilities: { browserName: 'internet explorer', version: 9, platform: 'WINDOWS', api_key: process.env.TESTINGBOT_KEY, api_secret: process.env.TESTINGBOT_SECRET, name: (process.env.TRAVIS_JOB_ID ? ("Travis Build " + process.env.TRAVIS_JOB_ID) : "Simple Test"), privacy: true } }); client .testMode() .init() .url('http://google.com/') .titleEquals('Google') .end(); ``` ## Get your TestingBot badge Once your first Selenium test has ran via Travis, you can start displaying its status with our [Status Badges](https://testingbot.com/support/other/status-badges): ## More information Our help page regarding Travis CI integration has more info: [Travis CI + TestingBot](https://testingbot.com/support/integrations/ci-cd/travis-ci) [← Previous post PhantomJS on TestingBot](https://testingbot.com/blog/2012/11/30/phantomjs-headless-testing-with-selenium-webdriver-and-testingbot) [Next post → Appium testing on TestingBot: automated hybrid/native iOS testing.](https://testingbot.com/blog/2013/02/25/appium-testing-on-testingbot-automated-hybridnative-ios-testing) ## Sidebar ### TestingBot Cloud Testing Run automated, manual and visual tests on remote browsers and devices.
