- Install pip and python.
sudo apt install python-pip
sudo apt install python
- The recommended way to run your tests would be in virtualenv. It will isolate the build from other setups you may have running and ensure that the tests run with the specified versions of the modules specified in the requirements.txt file.
pip install virtualenv
Step 1. Clone the Python-Selenium-Sample Repository.
git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/smartui-python-sample
Step 2. Next we create and Activate the virtual environment in the Python-Selenium-Sample folder.
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
Step 3. Inside Python-Selenium-Sample folder, export the Lambda-test Credentials. You can get these from your automation dashboard.
For Linux/macOS:
export LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"
For Windows:
set LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME"
set LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"
Step 5. To run your first test.
python test.py
