WebdriverIO and Sauce Connect

There are 2 ways of using WebdriverIO together with Sauce Connect:

  1. Use an already running tunnel
  2. Let WebdriverIO automatically start a tunnel

1. Use an already running tunnel

See the Sauce Labs Wiki for more information on how to use it.

2. Let WebdriverIO automatically start a tunnel

The @wdio/sauce-service can automatically start a tunnel for you if you provide the correct options for the service. For more information see @wdio/sauce-service. Based on the region it will automatically determine which Data Center will be used for spinning up a tunnel.

Important information

It is not a best practice to let WebdriverIO spin up a tunnel. Reasons are:

  • spinning up a tunnel will slow starting and tearing down your test-suite
  • running multiple builds in parallel you spin up multiple tunnels and there is a limitation to the amount of tunnels you can spin up

We always advise you to use a High Availability tunnel, see here for more information.
