SauceTunnel

This is a Ruby gem which makes it easy to establish a proxy tunnel to SauceLabs, via their sc command line utility.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sauce_tunnel'

And then execute:

$ bundle

You'll also want to install the sc command line utility. On macOS you can do this via homebrew casks, like this:

brew cask install sauce-connect

On other platforms, please see: https://wiki.saucelabs.com/display/DOCS/Sauce+Connect+Proxy.

You can configure and start a global tunnel like this:

SauceTunnel.start

This will block and wait until the tunnel is established. It is safe to call this method lazily even from multiple threads when you need the tunnel.

If you need to configure the Tunnel, call config before calling start like this:

SauceTunnel.config(sc_args: ["-B", "all"])
SauceTunnel.start

Available options are:

• sc_path: Location of the sc command line utility, defaults to assuming sc is in PATH
• sc_args: Additional args to pass to sc
• quiet: If true no output will be printed to stdout.
• timeout: Timeout for establishing the connection to SauceLabs
• shutdown_timeout: Timeout for shutting down the tunnel.

You can also instantiate and use a Tunnel manually, but this is not recommended.

tunnel = SauceTunnel::Tunnel.new(sc_args: ["-B", "all"])
tunnel.connect # establish connection in the background
tunnel.await # wait for tunnel to start
tunnel.terminate # wait for tunnel to shut down
