Automated Testing issue

Question

Very new to Automated Testing using Selenium and Appium.
The entire setup was done by some vendor long back.
Now i ran my test and the first test itself failed and I get the below error.

The error is as shown below
But I have my api key as shown below.

error:

What is causing this issue?
Automated testing is very confusing. Really need some guidance here!!

Is the issue "Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M5:test (default-test) on project ha-go-test-plan: There are test failures."
or
"No sauce connect tunnel......."??

If any further test data or screenshots are needed please comment and I will provide.

Answer 1

The error means that your test requested a tunnel with the identifier "act-rdc" but it couldn't find one.

There's a few reasons that might be:

1. You haven't manually started a tunnel with that identifier
2. Your tooling usually starts tunnels but is failing to do so in your local environment
3. You have started a tunnel, but it's not accessible to the user running the tests

I'm guessing your GitLab environment probably brings the tunnel up for you, or has one constantly running, and in Eclipse you're running a different setup.

Answer 2

Some assertion statement failed in your test (Line 22 in AbstractTestNGCucumberTests):

RunWebScenario>AbstractTestNGCucumberTests.runScenario:22

Obviously you have the parameterized test

runner.RunWebScenario.runScenario["Login Mode - General and Appointment Notifications Retrieval @Device:Mobile", "HAGo-NC"](1)

with two parameters:

1. "Login Mode - General and Appointment Notifications Retrieval @Device:Mobile"
2. "HAGo-NC"

It's the first combination of parameters (1) which failed.
