Sherlo Script

To run tests with Sherlo, add the sherlo script to your package.json.

Based on your builds type, select the appropriate script:

Local Builds

If you work with locally available builds, simply add the Sherlo script:

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "sherlo": "sherlo",
    // ...
  },
  // ...
}

Expo Remote Builds

If you work with Expo remote builds, add the Sherlo script with the --remoteExpoBuildScript flag, followed by the name of the remote build script:

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "sherlo": "sherlo --remoteExpoBuildScript build:remote",
    // ...
  },
  // ...
}

note

Alternatively, you can use the --remoteExpo flag, and manually initiate the builds immediately after.

Supported Flags

The sherlo script supports the following flags:

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--token	<string>	undefined	project token
--android	<path>	undefined	Android build path
--ios	<path>	undefined	iOS build path
--config	<path>	sherlo.config.json	config file path
--projectRoot	<path>	.	root of the React Native project
--remoteExpo	-	-	runs Sherlo in remote Expo mode, waiting for manual build initiation
--remoteExpoBuildScript	<scriptName>	undefined	runs Sherlo in remote Expo mode, automatically initiating build

note

Flags --token, --android, and --ios replace config file properties and take priority if both are defined.

Run Tests

If you have completed the setup, prepared builds, created a config file, and added the Sherlo script, you are ready to start testing.

To run tests, execute the Sherlo script:

npm

npm run sherlo

yarn

yarn sherlo

pnpm

pnpm run sherlo

Review Results

Once the tests are complete, you can review the results in the Sherlo web application.

And that's it! 🎉
Enjoy testing with Sherlo 🥳
