Azure Devops

This guide will help you integrate Scandium into your Azure DevOps pipeline. You’ll be able to trigger and monitor Scandium test executions directly within your Azure build or release pipelines.

What You’ll Achieve

By the end of this guide, your Azure DevOps pipeline will:

• Trigger Scandium test suites.

• Display live results and logs in the pipeline UI.

---

Prerequisites

Ensure you have:

• A Scandium account with:

  • Your API_TOKEN

  • A PROJECT_ID and SUITE_ID

• An Azure DevOps project and pipeline setup

• Basic understanding of YAML-based pipeline configuration

Step 1: Store Secrets in Azure DevOps

1. Go to your project settings in Azure DevOps.

2. Under Pipelines, click on Library.

3. Create a variable group (e.g., ScandiumVars).

4. Add the following secrets and check “Keep this value secret” where applicable:

Variable Name	Value / Description
API_TOKEN	Your Scandium API token
PROJECT_ID	Your Scandium project ID
SUITE_ID	Your Scandium test suite ID
HUB_URL	(Optional) Selenium Grid URL
STARTING_URL	(Optional) Starting URL for the tests
BROWSER	(Optional) chrome (default)
SCREENSHOT	(Optional) true or false
VARIABLES	(Optional) '{}' (as JSON string)
RETRY	(Optional) 0
MAX_ATTEMPTS	(Optional) 30
WAIT_PERIOD	(Optional) 120

Step 2: Configure Your YAML Pipeline

Add the following tasks to your pipeline YAML file:

trigger:
  branches:
    include:
      - main

variables:
  - group: ScandiumVars

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

steps:
  - script: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y jq
    displayName: 'Install jq'

  - script: |
      SCRIPT_URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GetScandium/files/refs/heads/main/scandium_script.sh"
      curl -o scandium_script.sh $SCRIPT_URL
      chmod +x scandium_script.sh
    displayName: 'Download Scandium Script'

  - script: ./scandium_script.sh
    env:
      API_TOKEN: $(API_TOKEN)
      PROJECT_ID: $(PROJECT_ID)
      SUITE_ID: $(SUITE_ID)
      HUB_URL: $(HUB_URL)
      STARTING_URL: $(STARTING_URL)
      BROWSER: $(BROWSER)
      SCREENSHOT: $(SCREENSHOT)
      VARIABLES: $(VARIABLES)
      RETRY: $(RETRY)
      MAX_ATTEMPTS: $(MAX_ATTEMPTS)
      WAIT_PERIOD: $(WAIT_PERIOD)
    displayName: 'Run Scandium Script'

---

Step 3: Trigger a Pipeline Run

Push code or manually trigger the pipeline from Azure DevOps. You’ll see logs from Scandium directly in your pipeline output.

Troubleshooting Tips

Problem	Solution
❌ Missing environment	Ensure secrets are linked in the variable group and referenced correctly
❌ Script permission	Ensure chmod +x is applied before running the script
🕒 Long wait	Adjust WAIT_PERIOD and MAX_ATTEMPTS
