What is Hydra Lab?

As mentioned in the above video, Hydra Lab is a framework that can help you easily build a cloud-testing platform utilizing the test devices/machines in hand.

Capabilities of Hydra Lab include:

  • Scalable test device management under the center-agent distributed design; Test task management and test result visualization.
  • Powering Android Espresso Test, and Appium(Java) test on different platforms: Windows/iOS/Android/Browser/Cross-platform.
  • Case-free test automation: Monkey test, Smart exploratory test.

For more details, you may refer to:

Quick guide on out-of-box Uber docker image

Hydra Lab offers an out-of-box experience of the Docker image, and we call it Uber. You can follow the below steps and start your docker container with both a center instance and an agent instance:

Step 1. Download and install Docker

Step 2. Download latest Uber Docker image

docker pull ghcr.io/microsoft/hydra-lab-uber:latest

This step is necessary. Without this step and jump to step 3, you may target at the local cached Docker image with latest tag if it exists.

Step 3. Run on your machine

By Default, Hydra Lab will use the local file system as a storage solution, and you may type the following in your terminal to run it:

docker run -p 9886:9886 --name=hydra-lab ghcr.io/microsoft/hydra-lab-uber:latest

We strongly recommend using Azure Blob Storage service as the file storage solution, and Hydra Lab has native, consistent, and validated support for it.

Step 3. Visit the web page and view your connected devices

Url: http://localhost:9886/portal/index.html#/ (or your custom port).

Enjoy starting your journey of exploration!

Step 4. Perform the test procedure with a minimal setup

Note: For Android, Uber image only supports Espresso/Instrumentation test. See the "User Manual" section on this page for more features: Hydra Lab Wikis.

To run a test with Uber image and local storage:

  • On the front-end page, go to the Runner tab and select HydraLab Client.
  • Click Run and change "Espresso test scope" to Test app, click Next.
  • Pick an available device, click Next again, and click Run to start the test.
  • When the test is finished, you can view the test result in the Task tab on the left navigator of the front-end page.

Test trigger steps

Build and run Hydra Lab from the source

You can also run the center java Spring Boot service (a runnable Jar) separately with the following commands:

The build and run process will require JDK11 | NPM | Android SDK platform-tools in position.

Step 1. Run Hydra Lab center service

# In the project root, switch to the react folder to build the Web front.
cd react
npm ci
npm run pub
# Get back to the project root, and build the center runnable Jar. 
cd ..
# For the gradlew command, if you are on Windows please replace it with `./gradlew` or `./gradlew.bat`
gradlew :center:bootJar
# Run it, and then visit http://localhost:9886/portal/index.html#/
java -jar center/build/libs/center.jar
# Then visit http://localhost:9886/portal/index.html#/auth to generate a new agent ID and agent secret.

If you encounter the error: Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported, set the System Variable NODE_OPTIONS as --openssl-legacy-provider and then restart the terminal.

Step 2. Run Hydra Lab agent service

# In the project root
cd android_client
# Build the Android client APK
./gradlew assembleDebug
cp app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk ../common/src/main/resources/record_release.apk
# If you don't have the SDK for Android ,you can download the prebuilt APK in https://github.com/microsoft/HydraLab/releases
# Back to the project root
cd .. 
# In the project root, copy the sample config file and update the:
# YOUR_AGENT_NAME, YOUR_REGISTERED_AGENT_ID and YOUR_REGISTERED_AGENT_SECRET.
cp agent/application-sample.yml application.yml
# Then build an agent jar and run it
gradlew :agent:bootJar
java -jar agent/build/libs/agent.jar

Step 3. visit http://localhost:9886/portal/index.html#/ and view your connected devices
