If your webapp requires an extension for automation test in Pytest for Lambdatest, you can use the following steps to upload extension and run your test. You can refer to sample test repo here.

Note: You will need the Chrome Extensions's ID for this. I am referring it to as $ID$. You can get the $ID$ from the URL of the Chrome Extension page.

1. Install your desired chrome extension on chrome.
2. Go to Chrome's Extensions page (chrome://extensions/), Enable the developer mode (check the developer mode box) and take note of the ID for your desired extension.
3. Your extension will be located at:

For Unix, ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/$ID$

For Windows, C:\Users<Your_User_Name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions$ID$

For OSX, ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/$ID$

1. • Use the LambdaTest extension upload API to upload the zip file to the backend.

2. Copy the link to your extension which will look something like - https://automation-prod-user-files.s3.amazonaws.com/extensions/orgId-XXXX/2.1.0_0.zip

In the conftest.py file, you need to update the test capabilities and add the extension capability. For example:

capabilities = {
        "build": "Sample PY Build",
        "platformName": "Windows 11",
        "browserName": "Chrome",
        "browserVersion": "latest",
        "lambda:loadExtension": "https://automation-prod-user-files.s3.amazonaws.com/extensions/orgId-XXXX/2.1.0_0.zip"
}

cd tests //navigate to tests directory
python sample_todo.py
