Configuring a proxy server for Applitools Eyes SDK – Applitools

This article will explain how to configure a proxy server in the Applitools Eyes SDK to address issues such as connection refused or connection timeout when using Applitools Eyes behind a proxy server.

Please find below the instructions for setting a proxy server in the relevant languages:

Java:

eyes.setProxy(new ProxySettings("http://YOUR-PROXY-URI"));

eyes.setProxy(new ProxySettings("http://YOUR-PROXY-URI", YOUR_USER, YOUR_PASSWORD));

Please make sure to add the commands before calling eyes.open(...) and also import the below package:
import com.applitools.eyes.ProxySettings;

Ruby:

eyes.set_proxy("https://proxy", "user", "password").

Note that the user and password parameters are optional.

Python:
Configure the environment variable HTTPS_PROXY:

import os 
os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY'] = "http://localhost:8888"

.Net (C#):


var proxyURI = new Uri(string.Format("{0}:{1}", proxyURL, port));

WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy(proxyURI, true, null);

eyes.Proxy = proxy;

Or:


var proxyURI = new Uri(string.Format("{0}:{1}", proxyURL, port));

ICredentials credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);

WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy(proxyURI, true, null, credentials);

eyes.Proxy = proxy;

JavaScript (@applitools/eyes-selenium)


 var proxyInfo = {
 url: pHost,
 username: pUser, 
 password: pPass, 
 isHttpOnly: isHttpOnly
 };

 eyes.setProxy(proxyInfo);

JavaScript (eyes.selenium)

eyes.setProxy("http://YOUR-PROXY-URI");

eyes.setProxy("http://YOUR-PROXY-URI", YOUR_USER, YOUR_PASSWORD);

1. npm install tunnel-agent

2. add 'applitools-http-proxy.js' to your project :

var tunnel = require('tunnel-agent');
 var https = require('https');
 var __request = https.request;
 var proxy = {     host: '',     port: 0 };
 https.request = function (options, callback) {    
 if (options.host.indexOf('applitools') > -1) {
         var tunnelingAgent = tunnel.httpsOverHttp({
             proxy: {
                 host: proxy.host,
                 port: proxy.port
                }
           });
         options.agent = tunnelingAgent;
       }
       return __request(options, callback);
  };
  module.exports = function (host, port) {
     proxy.host = host;
     proxy.port = port;
 };

3. in your app in the beginning insert the line:

require('./applitools-http- proxy.js')("proxy_ip", port);

Full example:

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
 var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
     withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome()).
     build();
 require('./applitools-http-proxy.js')("84.42.3.33", 3128);
 var Eyes = require('eyes.selenium').Eyes;
 var eyes = new Eyes();
 eyes.setApiKey(APPLITOOLS_APIKEY);
 try {
     eyes.open(driver, 'Applitools', 'Test Web Page', {width: 800, height: 600}).then(function (driver) {
         driver.get('http://www.applitools.com');
         /* Visual validation point #1 */
         eyes.checkWindow('Test Web Page');
         driver.findElement(webdriver.By.css('.read_more')).click();
         /* Visual validation point #2 */
         eyes.checkWindow('Features Page');
         eyes.close();
     });
 } finally {
     eyes.abortIfNotClosed();
 }
 driver.quit();
