This tutorial will show you how to get started with testing with Python on Sauce. 

Prerequisites

Code Example

The explicit wait method tells the browser to wait a set amount of time (in seconds) for elements to appear on the page before giving up. Using explicit waits is one of our recommended best practices.

Analyzing the Code

If you look at the code closely, you'll see that basics for setting up a test to run on sauce are very straightforward, and really only require two elements.

Running the Test

  1. Copy the example code and save it into a file called first_test.py.
    Make sure your username and access key are included in the URL passed through to the command_executor.
  2. Open terminal and navigate to the directory where the file is located.

  3. Execute the test:

    python first_test.py

    Check your dashboard and you will see that your test has just run on Sauce!
