Tunnel Commandline Reference

The tunnel requires both a TestingBot Key and TestingBot Secret being passed via the commandline, except in the following cases:

  • If you have a .testingbot file located in your $HOME directory, then the tunnel will fetch the key and secret from this file.
  • If you pass the following environment variables with valid key/secret:
    Copy code
    TESTINGBOT_KEY=""
    and
    Copy code
    TESTINGBOT_SECRET=""
