The mabl CLI (v. 0.3.0-beta) now supports creating, editing, and running your mabl tests directly from the command line inside a fresh Chrome window. If you like working with command line tools, mabl CLI gives you everything you need to integrate end-to-end tests earlier in your application development lifecycle, including support for test branching. For getting started with the mabl CLI please see the mabl CLI docs.

Local test run support

The mabl tests run command allows for running mabl tests locally in a fresh Chrome browser window directly from the command line.

To run a mabl test locally:

$ mabl tests run <test-id>

If your tests needs to run with a set of credentials use the --creds or --credentials flag to specify them. (mabl credentials list to see available ones)

Create tests

The mabl tests create command allows for creating a new mabl test directly from the CLI. Upon running this command you will be presented with a fresh Chrome window, a preconfigured mabl Trainer extension, and the familiar 'OK train me' button.

To create a mabl test:

$ mabl tests create <url> <test-name> <test-description>

Edit tests

The mabl tests edit command allows for editing a mabl test directly from the
CLI.

To edit a mabl test:

$ mabl tests edit <test-id>

Each command supports working with mabl branches and other optional arguments. Run each command with the -h flag (i.e mabl tests create -h) to see other arguments that are supported.

Getting your test IDs

Look for the new terminal icon on the test detail page to get the IDs needed for mabl CLI commands.
