Upload attachments to tests in Test Observability

Learn how to upload attachments to tests in Test Observability.

You can upload various files as attachments to tests in Test Observability.

Attachments are needed in the following use cases:

1. If your tests run outside the BrowserStack infrastructure, you might want to upload screenshots and other attachments to your tests to improve your Timeline Debugging experience.
2. You might want to add DOM, HTML files, custom log-out files, etc. which are otherwise not captured by BrowserStack. These additional logs and information will improve your debugging experience.

You can view attachments under the Attachments tab in the Timeline Debugging view of a test.

Currently, you can upload attachments for Java and Python frameworks. We will be adding this feature to other frameworks soon.

BrowserStack.uploadAttachment(fileToUpload);

fileToUpload = "path/to/your/file.png"  
driver.upload_attachment(fileToUpload) 

addAttachment("Screenshot", fs.readFileSync("/path/to/image.png"), "image/png");
