Hide sensitive test data

BrowserStack’s maskCommands capability hides data that you send to or retrieve from the remote browsers through the following commands:

Example

The following sample shows how to configure your Appium tests using maskCommands capability:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("maskCommands", "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies");
capabilities.setCapability("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

var capabilities = {
    'bstack:options' : {
        "maskCommands" : 'setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies'
    }
}

Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("maskCommands", "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies");
capabilities.AddAdditionalOption("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

$caps = array(
 	'bstack:options' => array(
        "maskCommands" => "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies",
 	)
 )

desired_cap = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
        "maskCommands" : "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies",
 	}
 }

capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' => {
 		"maskCommands" => "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies",
 	}
}

This will replace all keystrokes and other values with REDACTED in your App Automate session logs (text and raw).

BrowserStack’s maskCommands capability hides data that you send to or retrieve from the remote browsers through the following commands:

Example

The following sample shows how to configure your Appium tests using browserstack.maskCommands capability:

caps.setCapability("browserstack.maskCommands", "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies");

capabilities['browserstack.maskCommands'] = 'setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies'

caps.SetCapability("browserstack.maskCommands", "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies");

$caps["browserstack.maskCommands"] = "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies";

caps["browserstack.maskCommands"] = "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies"

caps["browserstack.maskCommands"] = "setValues, getValues, setCookies, getCookies"

This will replace all keystrokes and other values with REDACTED in your App Automate session logs (text and raw).

By default, video logs are enabled for all App Automate sessions. Use the following capability to disable it.

The sample below shows how to use video capability to disable video recording in your test:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("video", "false");
capabilities.setCapability("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

var capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
 		"video" : "false",
 	}
}

Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("video", "false");
capabilities.AddAdditionalOption("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

$caps = array(
'bstack:options' => array(
  "video" => "false"
     )
);

desired_cap = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
 		"video" : "false",
 	}
}

capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' => {
 		"video" => "false",
 	}
}

By default, video logs are enabled for all App Automate sessions. Use the following capability to disable it.

The sample below shows how to use browserstack.video capability to disable video recording in your test:

caps.setCapability("browserstack.video", "false");

var capabilities = {
  'browserstack.video' : 'false'
}

caps.SetCapability("browserstack.video", "false");

$caps["browserstack.video"] = "false";

caps["browserstack.video"] = "false"

caps["browserstack.video"] = "false"

BrowserStack provides a visual log for App Automate sessions. These are screenshots generated at different steps in your test script.

To prevent sensitive information from getting captured in these screenshots, make sure that visual logs are disabled. If not, set the debug capability to false.

The sample below shows how to use debug capability to disable visual log in your test:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("debug", "false");
capabilities.setCapability("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

var capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
 		"debug" : "false",
 	}
}

Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
 browserstackOptions.Add("debug", "false");
 capabilities.AddAdditionalOption("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

$caps = array(
 	'bstack:options' => array(
 		"debug" => "false",
 	)
 )

desired_cap = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
 		"debug" : "false"
 	}
}

capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' => {
 		"debug" => "false",
 	}
}

BrowserStack provides a visual log for App Automate sessions. These are screenshots generated at different steps in your test script.

To prevent sensitive information from getting captured in these screenshots, make sure that visual logs are disabled. If not, set the browserstack.debug capability to false.

The sample below shows how to use browserstack.debug capability to disable visual log in your test:

caps.setCapability("browserstack.debug", "false");

var capabilities = {
  'browserstack.debug' : 'false'
}

caps.SetCapability("browserstack.debug", "false");

$caps["browserstack.debug"] = "false";

caps["browserstack.debug"] = "false"

caps["browserstack.debug"] = "false"

For every App Automate session, you get Appium logs by default. However, these logs can not be masked.

You can disable Appium logs by using the following capabilities:

The sample below shows how to disable appiumLogs capabilities for your test:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("appiumLogs", "false");
capabilities.setCapability("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

var capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
        "appiumLogs": "false",
 	}
 }

Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("appiumLogs", "false");
capabilities.AddAdditionalOption("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

$caps = array(
 	'bstack:options' => array(
        "appiumLogs" => "false",
 	)
 )

desired_cap = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
        "appiumLogs": "false",
 	}
 }

capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' => {
        "appiumLogs" => "false",
 	}
 }

For every App Automate session, you get Appium logs by default. However, these logs can not be masked. You can disable Appium logs by using the following capabilities:

The sample below shows how to disable browserstack.appiumLogs capabilities for your test:

caps.setCapability("browserstack.appiumLogs", "false");

capabilities['browserstack.appiumLogs'] = 'false';

caps.SetCapability("browserstack.appiumLogs", "false");

$caps["browserstack.appiumLogs"] = "false";

caps["browserstack.appiumLogs"] = "false"

caps["browserstack.appiumLogs"] = "false"
