Setup and Installation: Mac

This article discusses setting up and installing Testsigma Tunnel on macOS. You can use command-line arguments to run the client or modify the ‘args.yaml’ file for configuration.

Prerequisites

Steps for Installation

Section titled “Steps for Installation”

  1. From the left navigation bar, go to Settings > Testsigma Tunnel.

  2. In the top right corner, click the Download Icon and download the file as per your machine architecture.

  3. Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a directory of your choice.

  4. Navigate to the extracted folder and execute the TestsigmaConnect binary. You can provide arguments in two ways:

    a. Using Command Line Arguments - Copy API Key from Settings > API Keys - Execute the following command:
    ./TestsigmaConnect --key <your-authentication-key>

    b. By Modifying ‘args.yaml’ - You can configure the authentication key and other parameters in the args.yaml file found in the same directory as the Testsigma Connect binary.
    - Here’s a sample args.yaml: yaml key: "<your-authentication-key>" tunnel-name: "" connections: 10 inactive-timeout: 300 verbose: false 

    - After making these changes, you can simply type ***./TestsigmaConnect*** to start the client.

  5. Once the application is started, you will see a message like below:

     🚀 Testsigma Connect is now running... 🚀
    

     🔑 Use the following tunnel name for your automation testing:
    

     🌍 Tunnel Name: <your-tunnel-name>
    

     🛑 To stop the tunnel, press Ctrl+C.
