How to Start a Sauce Connect tunnel using Nightwatch?

[pnulu002]

We need to run some automated tests on sites that are internal . We were able to run the tests manually using command line. "bin/sc -u -k -B all"

But how do we automate the starting and Stopping the tunnel ?

@pnulu002 this sounds like a question for Saucelabs; the creators of Sauce Connect.
Please consider searching https://support.saucelabs.com or opening a question.

@nelsonic :Seems like Sauce labs does not have any such option.They asked us to reach out to Nightwatch .

I was able to start the Tunnel with in Sauce using this piece of code under nightwatch.conf.js , before function. But some how the tests are starting even before the tunnel gets connected(normally it takes around 20 secs for the tunnel to get connected after it actually starts) and hence the tests are not using the tunnel. Is there any way to hold the tests untill the Tunnel is actually connected and ready for Test ?

const before = () => {
const sauceConnectLauncher = require('sauce-connect-launcher');
sauceConnectLauncher({
username: ${process.env.SAUCE_USERNAME},
accessKey: ${process.env.SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY},
}, (err, sauceConnectProcess) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err.message);
return;
}
console.log('Sauce Connect ready');
});
};
