Unable to connect to BitBar via automation script using appium + NodeJS + WebdriverIO

Hello team,

We are trying to connect to smartbear - bitbar for mobile automation using nodeJS - wdio5.
Since this is for automation POC we are using the config file from: https://github.com/bitbar/test-samples/blob/master/samples/testing-frameworks/appium/client-side/javascript/webdriver.io/wdio.conf.js
 
While connecting we are getting error as :

[0-0] 2022-08-24T16:18:54.762Z WARN webdriver: Request failed due to <html>
<head><title>405 Not Allowed</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>405 Not Allowed</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.21.6</center>
</body>
</html>

[0-0] 2022-08-24T16:18:54.762Z INFO webdriver: Retrying 1/3
2022-08-24T16:18:54.762Z INFO webdriver: [POST] https://cloud.bitbar.com/#testing/dashboard:443%5Cwd%5Chub%5Csession

 
Can anyone suggest how to correct this?
Appreciate any help

    Hi MrunalCTS!

     

    I was able to stand up our WDIO sample without issue unfortunately. 

     

    Can you tell us what all has been changed in the config file?

     

    I also see the 405 is coming back from an NGINX server it looks like. Does your application need to contact a machine that is not publicly available?

     

    If so, and you are using NGINX, it might help to investigate using our SecureTunnel tool for local connections;

    https://support.smartbear.com/bitbar/docs/tunnel/index.html

     

    If not, let me know and any more information about the config file, and your test itself. We'll be happy to help.

      Thanks Nick.

      We have made changes to the capabilities as below in the config file:

      const apiKey = '<my API Key>';
      const appId = 'VCM_Android_UAT_V-1.5.4.1.apk';
      protocol: 'https',
          hostname: 'cloud.bitbar.com/#testing/dashboard',
          port: 443,
          path: '/wd/hub',
      capabilities: [{
            bitbar_apiKey: apiKey,
            bitbar_device: "Google Pixel 3a Android 12",
            bitbar_app :  appId,
            bitbar_target: "android",
            deviceName: "Android Phone",
          }],
      The machine is publicly available and there should not be any restriction on accessing that.
