Overview:

We are using sauce labs as a remote browser service. The versions we were using are on an API version that has been deprecated. So this Pull Request brings the sauce labs usage to the latest versions. For that, we are now using the CLI tool of sauce labs saucectl. To be able to access the remote browsers, saucectl needs on CircleCI a tunnel. So we also need to use the Sauce Connect Proxy 5 CLI. 

Changes:

1. Use saucectl CLI Tool:

   • We have transitioned to using the official saucectl CLI for managing and executing Sauce Labs tests.
   • saucectl runs the testcafe tests
   • To enable access to remote browsers on CircleCI, we now utilize the Sauce Connect Proxy 5 CLI tool, which creates the necessary tunnel for Sauce Labs.

2. Removal of Sauce Labs Test Links in PR Comments:

   • The current approach of adding links to Sauce Labs test results in PR comments was unreliable and has been removed.
   • In the future, we will look into leveraging the new features from the latest tools, such as webhooks, to automatically add test-related information back to the PR.

3. New Features Enabled:

   • The updated tools introduce several improvements:
     • Enhanced test management: Test cases now appear directly in the Sauce Labs dashboard.
     • Improved test failure analysis: You can now jump directly to failed test videos.
     • Simplified multi-browser testing: It is now easier to add and manage test suites across multiple browsers.

Future Improvements:

With these updates, we have laid the groundwork for:

• Automating test information reporting in PRs through webhooks.
• Extending our testing to more browsers and devices with minimal configuration.
