Authenticate your Test Runs

Learn how to authenticate your Cypress test runs

You can authenticate your test runs in three ways:

1. Setting the environment variables
2. Using the CLI params
3. Mentioning the auth credentials in the browserstack.json

Setting the environment variables

You can set the following environment variables while using the CLI. This will override the auth credentials that you use in your browserstack.json file.

Using the CLI

You can use the following args while running the tests using the run command:

For example:

browserstack-cypress run --sync --username YOUR_USERNAME --key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

Using browserstack.json

You can use the auth option to specify your username and access keys. You can find them in your Automate dashboard. This will override the auth credentials that you set in environment variables as well as the ones that you mention in browserstack.json file.

Here are the options that we support in auth:

For example:

{
  ...
  "auth": {
    "username": "YOUR_USERNAME",
    "access_key": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
  }
  ...
}
