How to run an automation test in Mocha-js in headless mode on LambdaTest

If you want to set your browser as headless for an automation test in Mocha-js on Lambdatest, you can use the following steps. You can refer to sample test repo here.

Steps:

In conf/single.conf.js file, you need to update your capabilities. You need to set the headless capability to run browser in headless mode. The capabilities would look something like this:

exports.capabilities = {
        'build': 'Mocha-Selenium-Sample', //Build name
        'name': 'Your Test Name', // Test name
        'platform':'Windows 10', // OS name
        'browserName': 'chrome', // Browser name
        'version': 'latest', // Browser version
        'visual': false,  // To take step by step screenshot
        'network':false,  // To capture network Logs
        'console':false, // To capture console logs.
        'tunnel': false, // If you want to run the localhost than change it to true
        'headless': true
  }
};

Run your test

npm run single
