Command via package.json with browserStack

[anon87776862]

I'm taking the following error when trying to run a test via browserstack in the package.json script:

'''
ERROR Unable to find the browser. "browserstack:android@4.0:Samsung Galaxy Nexus" is not a browser alias or path to an executable file.

Type "testcafe -h" for help.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! perfundo@3.0.3 test:acceptance: testcafe 'browserstack:android@4.0:Samsung Galaxy Nexus' test/acceptance/ --app 'http-server demo/ -p 1337 -s'
npm ERR! Exit status 1

'''

can you help me?

Hi Bruno,
Please let me know whether or not you wrap the browser alias with quotation marks. In addition, run the following command:

testcafe -b browserstack

If there are any errors, check that testcafe and testcafe-browser-provider-browserstack are installed (both globally or both locally) as described here. Please also post the result of testcafe -b browserstack and errors (if there are any).

Hi Marina.

Regarding your question:

testcafe -b browserstack

It worked (returned a list), both are installed locally and then globally.

After searching for some time, I found in the topic the solution to my mistake. I ended up using the latest versions for TestCafe (^ 0.19.2), and node (8.11.1). But, when I run the test, I get the following error:

ERROR Was unable to open the browser "browserstack:iPhone 7@10.3" due to error.

StatusCodeError: 403 - {"message":"Your free access to test on real devices has expired. You can upgrade to the Automate Mobile plan to test on real devices. Please reach out to our Sales team at sales@browserstack.com.","errors":[]}

From what I understand, my script is trying to use real devices, and what I want is for it to simulate the device described in the test. How can I describe this in my script?

my script:

"test:testbr": "testcafe 'browserstack:iPhone 7@10.3' test/testbr/ --app 'http-server brdemo/ -p 1337 -s'",

Bruno,
According to the error message, your BrowserStack trial period is over:

Your free access to test on real devices has expired. You can upgrade to the Automate Mobile plan to test on real devices. Please reach out to our Sales team at sales@browserstack.com

So, I suggest you contact BrowserStack Sales team at sales@browserstack.com regarding licensing and which devices are available for you with a free license.

Hello, Marina! that's just the mistake! I have a paid account in the browserstack! when I use TestCafe with desktop tests, it works correctly, however when I change to mobile devices I get this feedback. Do I have to put an "emule" as part of my script?

[MarinaRukavitsyna]

Bruno,
From what I gather, you are using Live testing, which is covered by the "Live" license. To perform automate tests with TestCafe, it looks like you need the "Automate Pro" or "Automate Mobile" license. Would you please let me know the name of the license you have?

[anon87776862]

True, I'm using "live" ... but by consulting my plan, I still have minutes remaining for automated testing ... even though I have 745 minutes remaining, I can not use it.

Bruno,
I have checked BrowserStack pricing and did not find information that mobile devices (Samsung Galaxy Nexus in your case) or mobile emulators are available for the "Automate Pro" license. I suggest you contact BrowserStack support to check which devices and emulators are available for your plan.

Good morning Marina!

That must be it, I'm going to change my corporate plan to continue my tests. Thank you!
