Step 1 — Execution Target
├─ "cloud", "TestMu", "LambdaTest" → Cloud: nightwatch.conf.js with LT env
├─ "local" → Local: ChromeDriver/GeckoDriver
└─ Default → Local, mention cloud option
Core Patterns
Basic Test
module.exports = {
'Login with valid credentials': function(browser) {
browser
.url('http://localhost:3000/login')
.waitForElementVisible('#email', 5000)
.setValue('#email', '[email protected]')
.setValue('#password', 'password123')
.click('button[type="submit"]')
.waitForElementVisible('.dashboard', 10000)
.assert.containsText('.welcome', 'Welcome')
.assert.urlContains('/dashboard')
.end();
},
'Login with invalid credentials shows error': function(browser) {
browser
.url('http://localhost:3000/login')
.waitForElementVisible('#email', 5000)
.setValue('#email', '[email protected]')
.setValue('#password', 'wrong')
.click('button[type="submit"]')
.waitForElementVisible('.error-message', 5000)
.assert.containsText('.error-message', 'Invalid credentials')
.end();
}
};
Page Objects
// pages/loginPage.js
module.exports = {
url: '/login',
elements: {
emailInput: '#email',
passwordInput: '#password',
loginButton: 'button[type="submit"]',
errorMessage: '.error-message',
},
commands: [{
login(email, password) {
return this
.setValue('@emailInput', email)
.setValue('@passwordInput', password)
.click('@loginButton');
}
}]
};
// tests/loginTest.js
module.exports = {
'Login test': function(browser) {
const login = browser.page.loginPage();
login.navigate()
.login('[email protected]', 'password123');
browser.assert.urlContains('/dashboard');
}
};
Assertions
browser.assert.visible(selector);
browser.assert.not.visible(selector);
browser.assert.containsText(selector, 'text');
browser.assert.urlContains('/path');
browser.assert.titleContains('Page Title');
browser.assert.elementPresent(selector);
browser.assert.cssClassPresent(selector, 'active');
browser.assert.value('#input', 'expected');
browser.assert.attributeEquals(selector, 'href', '/link');
browser.assert.elementsCount('li', 5);
TestMu AI Cloud Config

// nightwatch.conf.js
module.exports = {
test_settings: {
default: {
launch_url: 'http://localhost:3000',
desiredCapabilities: { browserName: 'chrome' }
},
lambdatest: {
selenium: {
host: 'hub.lambdatest.com',
port: 80
},
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
browserVersion: 'latest',
'LT:Options': {
platform: 'Windows 11',
build: 'Nightwatch Build',
name: 'Login Tests',
user: process.env.LT_USERNAME,
accessKey: process.env.LT_ACCESS_KEY,
video: true, console: true, network: true
}
}
}
},
page_objects_path: ['pages/'],
};
Setup: npm install nightwatch --save-dev
Run: npx nightwatch or npx nightwatch --env lambdatest
