Creating an Automated Test Run on Testlio Platform with an External Provider

To schedule automated tests on the Testlio platform using an external provider, follow these steps:

$3

- Install the CLI by running npm install -g @testlio/cli
- See Configuration section below for more details on how to configure the CLI.

$3

- Either create a new automatedBrowser/automatedDevice or locate an existing one that you intend to use.

$3

- Create a new automated test run. Ensure you include the --externalResults true flag while creating the run.

$3

- Submit the automated test results. Currently, we only support test results formatted using the Allure framework.

$3

- You may also submit any additional assets, such as videos, screenshots, or logs to support your test results.

$3

- Once you've completed the above steps, finalize the test results to conclude the test run.

$3

- After test is finalized on step 5 and results are processed, you can read the results from the Testlio platform.

NOTE: The results won't be finalized until an async job in result-service processes them. For local environment purposes, you may need to trigger that process manually before reading the results.

$3

- find-device-result: Find a device result based on various parameters.

NOTE: For any of the commands you can use --h or --help param to get more details about the command

All the below configuration steps are required.
1. Make sure to set the RUN_API_TOKEN environment variable. (You can get this token from the Testlio platform)
``shell
Example: export RUN_API_TOKEN=your_token
`
2. Add project file project-config.json to the root of your project folder. Project config file contains the static configuration related to the project which will not change for a workspace:
`json
{
"baseURI": "https://api.testlio.com",
"platformURI": "https://app.testlio.com/tmt/project/",
"projectId": "project id, this can be found while generating token token on Testlio Platform. Please check the screenshot below",
"automatedRunCollectionGuid": "this can be found while generating token on Testlio Platform. Please check the screenshot below",
"testRunCollectionGuid": "this can be found while generating token on Testlio Platform. Please check the screenshot below",
"resultCollectionGuid": "this can be found while generating token on Testlio Platform. Please check the screenshot below",
"workspaceName": "this can be found while generating token on Testlio Platform. Please check the screenshot below"
}
`

3. Add testConfig file test-config.json to the root of your project folder. Test config is of two variants, config section is optional.

WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CONFIGS
`json
{
"automatedTestNamePrefix": "Prefix you want to append with the automated test (e.g Circle CI:)"
}
`
WITH ADDITIONAL CONFIGS
`json
{
"automatedTestNamePrefix": "Prefix you want to append with the automated test (e.g Circle CI:)",
"config": {
"deviceTestType": "OPTIONAL IF YOU WANT TO SPECIFY TEST TYPE (e.g APPIUM_JAVA_JUNIT, APPIUM_NODE, APPIUM_RUBY, APPIUM_PYTHON, SELENIUM_JAVA_TESTNG, SELENIUM_JAVA_JUNIT, SELENIUM_NODE, SELENIUM_PYTHON)"
}
}
`

Either create a new automatedBrowser/automatedDevice or locate an existing one that you intend to use.
This section has two subsections below

#### Step 1.1: Create a new automatedBrowser or search for an existing one
The create-automated-browser command provides a versatile way to manage automated browsers. Whether you're looking to create a new automated browser or search for existing ones based on various parameters, this command has you covered.

##### Usage
`shell
testlio create-automated-browser [Options]

Use --help to see the list of available options.

--checkExisting:
When set to true, this flag will initiate a search for existing browsers based on the parameters provided.
If browsers are found, a list will be displayed. Otherwise, a message indicating no browsers were found will be shown.

When --checkExisting is true, then following parameters become optional, and can be use to narrow down the search:
--externalId: External identifier for the browser (e.g., windows-chrome-latest)
--browserName: Name of the browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge (Chromium), Mozilla Firefox)
--platformName: Name of the platform (must be from these values ['Microsoft Windows', 'Macintosh', 'Linux', 'Android', 'iOS'])
--provider: Name of the provider (must be from these values ['aws', 'browserstack', 'local', 'sauce-labs', 'azure-playwright', 'bitbar'])

When --checkExisting is false or not set, then following parameters become required, this is used to create a custom browser:
--externalId: To create a new automated browser, provide an external identifier (e.g., windows-MicrosoftEdge-latest)
--browserName: Name of the browser you wish to create (e.g., Turbo Browser, Ruko Browser)
--platformName: Platform where the browser will run (must be from these values ['Microsoft Windows', 'Macintosh', 'Linux', 'Android', 'iOS'])
--provider: Name of the provider (must be from these values ['browserstack', 'local', 'sauce-labs', 'azure-playwright', 'bitbar'])

--projectConfig [path]: (Optional) Path to project config (default: project-config.json)
`
NOTE: When creating a new automated-browser you can't select provider as 'aws'.

##### Example Usage
`shell
An example of a command to create a new automated browser:
testlio create-automated-browser --externalId windows-MicrosoftEdge-latest --browserName "Microsoft Edge (Chromium)" --platformName "Microsoft Windows" --provider local

An example of a command to search for existing browsers:
testlio create-automated-browser --checkExisting true --provider local
`
#### Step 1.2: Create a new automatedDevice or search for an existing one
The create-automated-device command provides a versatile way to manage automated devices. Whether you're looking to create a new automated device or search for existing ones based on various parameters, this command has you covered.

##### Usage
`shell
