Variables are key to creating API tests that can work with dynamic data and handle sophisticated scenarios. Starting in version 1.2.1 of the Desktop App, we make it easy for you to use variables in API test steps by autosuggesting available variable names when you need them. Remember that the syntax for referencing a variable in a string is {{@variableName}}, which is the same for API tests as well as browser tests.
You can now bulk-add labels to tests via the Tests page. This is very useful if you have many tests to which you'd like to assign the same labels. It saves you the time of manually editing each test via the Test Edit form.
Quickly view the current or historic status and quality of your testing coverage in one central place. Filter the new release coverage dashboard by test label, a date range, or environment to easily identify which tests may be flaky, haven’t been run, or have been failing consistently.
After extensive validation testing, Google Chrome v93 is now available as the default version of Chrome used by mabl's cloud test runs.
New to mabl is the ability to filter the Results > By Test table by date and time, allowing you to quickly jump back and view the results for a given day, week, or month without having to view all the results that came after that period.
The mabl CLI's run-cloud command now supports the basic-auth-credentials-id option. If your test requires basic auth, you can kick off a cloud run from the CLI as well as from the webapp and the desktop app.
The mabl CLI has been updated to require Node.js v12+ for installation, as part of the mabl-cli v1.8.6 release. Mabl CLI users should ensure their Node.js installations are version 12 or higher.
The mabl CLI allows you to kick off local test runs with significant speed improvements. While this speed increase is usually helpful for receiving rapid feedback on test results, sometimes tests may fail if they do not handle timing gracefully. This could include instances where the page has not loaded or the state of an element has not changed yet.
The page interaction speeds available at the plan and environment level are available as the flag --interaction-speed on the CLI. This flag will override any settings on the test run or plan run.
The Activity feed tab in the Settings module now allows users to recover items that might have been deleted unintentionally. The recover icon is available for Tests, Flows, and Snippets. Users must have Editor or Owner role permissions to perform the recovery operations.
The Unified test runner beta is now available to all mabl customers.
