How to run BrowserStackLocal for website behind firewall - browserstack

Question

I'm trying to run my tests against a url that is behind our firewall.
I run this command:
./BrowserStackLocal [KEY] -force &
And then I run my tests:
py.test blah blah
In BrowserStack I see this error:
I must be doing something wrong when running the BrowserStackLocal binary, but I can't figure out what.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

To access the local servers on BrowserStack Automate, you can follow these steps:
Setup the Local Testing connection by executing the Local Testing binaries.
Add the capability 'browserstack.local' = true in your scripts.
It seems you have done Step 1, have you added the capability as well?

Answer 2

Few things to consider here :
Are you setting correct Host settings .
Have you tried with multiple browser versions because I get some errors while trying for IE and chrome for Android devices.
Please try to use the below simple code and check :
public static final String USERNAME = "xyz";
public static final String AUTOMATE_KEY = "xyz";
public static final String URL = "http://" + USERNAME + ":" + AUTOMATE_KEY + "#hub.browserstack.com/wd/hub";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost","2.2.2.2");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort","8080");
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser","xyz");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPass","xyz");
caps.setCapability("browser", "FireFox");
caps.setCapability("browser_version", "40.0");
caps.setCapability("os", "Windows");
caps.setCapability("browserstack.debug", "true");
caps.setCapability("browserstack.local", "true");
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(URL), caps);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
element.sendKeys("BrowserStack");
element.submit();
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
}
