Facing issues? View commonly occurring errors
Check the regular culprits
Check if the file is saved correctly and you’ve installed the required packages and libraries installed to run the test. In most cases, searching on Google is helpful.
Authentication errors
If you’re encountering authentication errors, it’s possible that you haven’t passed the correct credentials, or that the credentials you passed are incorrect. You can find your Username and Access Key in the Account profile page. Try running the test again and it should solve your issue!
Behind a proxy?
You might face some connection issues if you are behind a proxy as your network may be blocking traffic to browserstack.com. Allowlist the traffic to *.browserstack.com and you’re all set. If you have a complex network setup, reach out to our Support team and they’ll work with you to get this working.
After you run your test, visit the Automate dashboard to view your test results.
