📱 Mobile Mode

Mobile Mode / Mobile Testing

Use --mobile to run SeleniumBase tests using Chrome's mobile device emulator with default values for Device Metrics and User-Agent.

Here's an example mobile test:

SeleniumBase/examples/test_skype_site.py

pytest test_skype_site.py --mobile

To configure Device Metrics, use:

--metrics="CSS_Width,CSS_Height,Pixel_Ratio"

To configure the User-Agent, use:

--agent="USER-AGENT-STRING"

To find real values for Device Metrics, see:

• Device Metrics List

To find real User-Agent strings, see:

• User Agent Strings List

Here's another example of a mobile test:

SeleniumBase/examples/test_swag_labs.py

pytest test_swag_labs.py --mobile

Here's an example of configuring mobile settings for that test:

# Run tests using Chrome's mobile device emulator (default settings)
pytest test_swag_labs.py --mobile

# Run mobile tests specifying CSS Width, CSS Height, and Pixel-Ratio
pytest test_swag_labs.py --mobile --metrics="360,640,2"

# Run mobile tests specifying the user agent
pytest test_swag_labs.py --mobile --agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9; Pixel 3 XL)"

For some SeleniumBase Syntax Formats, you can also use mobile=True to run tests in Mobile Mode:

from seleniumbase import Driver

driver = Driver(mobile=True)
try:
    driver.open("https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/")
    driver.assert_element('[aria-label="Microsoft"]')
    driver.assert_text("Download Skype", "h1")
    driver.highlight("div.appBannerContent")
    driver.highlight("h1")
    driver.assert_text("Skype for Mobile", "h2")
    driver.highlight("h2")
    driver.highlight("#get-skype-0")
    driver.highlight_click("span[data-dropdown-icon]")
    driver.highlight("#get-skype-0_android-download")
    driver.highlight('[data-bi-id*="ios"]')
finally:
    driver.quit()
