Node.js saucectl Wrapper

Node.js wrapper for saucectl.

Install

To install saucectl via npm, simply run the following command:

$ npm i -g saucectl

The command should be globally available:

$ saucectl -v
saucectl version 0.197.2
(build a301436d5b178bcfda8db106c50bfb78ac5be679)

Note: When you run the command for the first time, it will initially download the binary. This only happens once.

Note: saucectl installation is disabled on Sauce Labs Cloud. If you wish to force the installation, set the SAUCECTL_FORCE_INSTALL environment variable to true.

Install Binary from a Specified Source

If you want the installer to download saucectl from a specific source, set the following environment variable:

macOS/Linux:

export SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY=http://localhost:9000/saucectl_0.32.2_mac_64-bit.tar.gz

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY = "http://localhost:9000/saucectl_0.32.2_win_64-bit.zip"

Windows (Command Prompt):

set SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY=http://localhost:9000/saucectl_0.32.2_win_64-bit.zip

Install Binary from a Mirror Site

Override the default download site by setting the SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_MIRROR environment variable to a custom URL. The default site is Sauce Labs saucectl releases.

macOS/Linux:

SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_MIRROR=https://your-mirror-download-site.com/foo/bar npm i -g saucectl

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_MIRROR = "https://your-mirror-download-site.com/foo/bar"
npm i -g saucectl

Windows (Command Prompt):

set SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_MIRROR=https://your-mirror-download-site.com/foo/bar
npm i -g saucectl

Use a Local Binary

If you already have a saucectl binary on your machine, you can point the installer directly to it by setting the SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_LOCAL environment variable to the absolute (or relative) path of the binary. No download will occur. The binary will be copied into the package's bin directory.

macOS/Linux:

export SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_LOCAL=/usr/local/bin/saucectl
npm i -g saucectl

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_LOCAL = "C:\tools\saucectl.exe"
npm i -g saucectl

Windows (Command Prompt):

set SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_LOCAL=C:\tools\saucectl.exe
npm i -g saucectl

Note: SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_LOCAL takes precedence over SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY and SAUCECTL_INSTALL_BINARY_MIRROR if multiple variables are set simultaneously.
