how to run automation tests in Bamboo

Elena March 13, 2020

Hi all,

I have copied and added the Test Automation Repository from Bitbucket to Bamboo. Before we started using Bamboo ,we used Jenkins.In Jenkins I have configured a job ,in which you can choose if you want to run smoke/regression/all tests. Jenkins was configured with Testcafe Framework for Automation Testing. In Bamboo is now the situation ,that when I run a build , the smoke tests are starting automatically. But I want that i can run all automation tests manually without waiting to run a build.

Does somebody know how I can do this - at everypoint that I can run all tests?

Thank you in advance,

BR,

Elena

Hi @Elena,

Welcome to the Community!

I don't see anything that indicates there is a "TestCafe" specific task or app for Bamboo.  What type of task are you using currently to run your Automated Tests.

Without having any other specific details, in general, when there isn't a task type available my recommendation would be to use a "Script Task" and use that to write a wrapper that allows you to call your automated tests with the parameters that include which set of tests you would like to execute.

I hope that helps!

Hi Jimmy,

The tests are running through Visual Studio Code ,if this is what you mean by "task" .  

I have created a plan and then I added 2 jobs in this plan ,one of them is connected with the tests.Inside it I added the URL of the Git repository.When I run the plan - automatcially started the build of the app and the the smoke tests . But I want that all the tests are running every night,that is why i checked this information here

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/single-daily-build-289276899.html

I am not sure if this could help me ,becaufe i want to run only the tests every night,without running the build of the app . 

Did you understand what I mean?

Hi Elena,

That document talks about setting up how to trigger the build to happen daily automatically, but that doesn't describe what actions are being run as a part of the build.

Are you able to share any screenshots of your build plan definition?  when I use the term "task" I'm talking about the steps that you would add to one of the jobs within your build plan.

For instance, usually the first task executed is a "Source Code Checkout" task.

Depending on what language your source code is written in, the next "tasks" run could be a script, maven build, msbuild, etc.

If things are just happening automatically after the source code checkout.  It should like your repository has a defintion file (msbuild, csproj, package.json) that is deciding what should be executed by default and you make need to edit that file before letting the daily build run.

I hope that helps!
