Authentication

---

Authenticate your Cypress test runs in the following ways -

1. Set up the environment variables. (or)
2. Utilizing the CLI params. (or)
3. Mention your username and access key in the lambdatest-config.json.

Utilizing CLI Params:

---

The following args can be used while running tests using the run command.

Arg	Shorthand	Accepted values
--username	--user	Your TestMu AI username
--access_key	--ak	Your TestMu AI access key

For example -

lambdatest-cypress run --username=undefined --ak=undefined

Using lambdatest-config.json:

---

The auth option will help you in specifying your username and access key. You can find your username and access key in the TestMu AI Automation Dashboard. Both, the auth credentials set in environment variables and the ones mentioned in the lambdatest-config.json file will get overridden.

The options supported in the auth are as follows:

Arg	Accepted values
username	Your TestMu AI username
access_key	Your TestMu AI access key

For example -

lambdatest-config.json

"lambdatest_auth": {
      "username": "<your username>",
      "access_key": "<your access key>"
   },

Setup the Environment Variables:

---

While utilizing the CLI params, you can set up the following environment variables.

Env variable	Accepted values
LT_USERNAME	Your TestMu AI username
LT_ACCESS_KEY	Your TestMu AI access key

Or you can also set environment variables using following commands:

Linux / MacOS

export LT_USERNAME="undefined" \
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"

Windows

set LT_USERNAME="undefined" `
set LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"

Note

By doing so, the auth credentials you use in your lambdatest-config.json file will get overridden only if these options are not provided in lambdatest-config.json file.
