create - Sessions API

The create method of the sessions API creates a new session. If provided with an configuration it creates a session accordingly. If no configuration is provided it uses default values. It returns the session token of the newly created session, which is the unique identifier of sessions. While a session has the status PENDING it is possible to modify the configuration using the update method of the sessions API. As it is required to create the session from the device under test, this is really helpful, since it allows to configure the session using a second device.

HTTP Request

  • tests specifies the tests of the session:
    • include specifies what tests should be selected from all available tests. Can be a path to a test file or directory. Provided query parameters will be added to all matching test urls.
    • exclude specifies what tests should be removed from the included tests. Can be a path to a test file or directory.
  • types what types of tests should be included. Possible values:
    • automatic tests are tests that execute without user interaction.
    • manual tests are tests that require user interaction.
  • timeouts specifies the time to wait for a test to finish in milliseconds.
    • automatic: Sets the default timeout for all automatic tests.
    • manual: Sets the default timeout for all manual tests.
    • custom test paths: Set the timeout for a test file or directory by putting the path with all dots removed as the key.
  • reference_tokens specifies a set of completed sessions that is used to filter out all tests that have not passed in all those sessions from the session that is going to be created.
  • labels specifies the initial set of labels for the session.
  • type specifies the session type to trigger type specific behaviour like different control pages.
