 1 | # How to add extension for automation test in Python-selenium for [LambdaTest](https://www.lambdatest.com/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo&utm_campaign=Python-selenium-add-extension)
 2 | 
 3 | If your webapp requires an extension for automation test in Python-selenium on Lambdatest, you can use the following steps to upload extension and run your test. You can refer to sample test repo [here](https://github.com/LambdaTest/python-selenium-sample).
 4 | 
 5 | # Steps:
 6 | 
 7 | ## Step 1: Get the zip file (Skip this if you already have the zip file with you)
 8 | 
 9 | Note: You will need the Chrome Extensions's ID for this. I am referring it to as $ID$. You can get the $ID$ from the URL of the Chrome Extension page.
10 | 1. Install your desired chrome extension on chrome.
11 | 2. Go to Chrome's Extensions page (chrome://extensions/), Enable the developer mode (check the developer mode box) and take note of the ID for your desired extension.
12 | 3. Your extension will be located at:
13 | 
14 | For Unix, ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/$ID$
15 | 
16 | For Windows, C:\Users\<Your_User_Name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\$ID$
17 | 
18 | For OSX, ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/$ID$
19 | 
20 | ## Step 2: Upload the zip file to LamdbaTest using API
21 | 
22 | 1. * [Use the LambdaTest extension upload API to upload the zip file to the backend.](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/api-doc/#/extensions/UploadExtensions)
23 | 
24 | 2. Copy the link to your extension which will look something like - https://automation-prod-user-files.s3.amazonaws.com/extensions/orgId-XXXX/2.1.0_0.zip
25 | 
26 | ## Step 3: Pass extension in capabilities
27 | 
28 | In the test file, you need to update the test capabilities and add the extension capability. For example:
29 | 
30 | ```python
31 | desired_caps = {
32 |             'LT:Options': {
33 |                 "build": "Python Demo",  # Change your build name here
34 |                 "name": "Python Demo Test",  # Change your test name here
35 |                 "platformName": "Windows 11",
36 |                 "selenium_version": "4.0.0",
37 |                 "lambda:loadExtension": "https://automation-prod-user-files.s3.amazonaws.com/extensions/orgId-XXXX/2.1.0_0.zip"
38 |             },
39 |             "browserName": "Chrome",
40 |             "browserVersion": "98.0",
41 |         }
42 | 
43 | ```
44 | 
45 | ## Step 4: Run your test
46 | 
47 | ```bash
48 | python lambdatest.py
49 | ```
