OpenTest: How to integrate server, actor and template in AWS CodeBuild for linux?

Question

We have to integrate our OpenTest automation with AWS CodeBuild. How can we run server, actor and template session in one terminal in linux ?

Answer 1

You can trigger a new test session by using the OpenTest CLI:

opentest session create --template <TEMPLATE_NAME> --wait --server <SERVER_IP>:<PORT>

For example:

opentest session create --template "My session template" --wait --server 1.2.3.4:3000

Of course, you have to make sure that:

• OpenTest is installed on the machine where AWS CodeBuild agent is running from and the opentest command in the system path - basically make sure the opentest command is available for your pipeline.
• The AWS CodeBuild agent machine has network access to the IP and port that the OpenTest server is running on.
