SauceConnectSetup.py

A little Python script that automatically installs and sets up the Sauce Connect Java Utility tunnel.

How it works:

This little Python script simply:

• Downloads the Sauce Connect Java Utility from: http://saucelabs.com/downloads/Sauce-Connect-latest.zip
• Unzips the download
• Sets up the Sauce Connect Java Utility automatically. During setup the script:
  • Checks for the required open ports 80 & 443
  • Asks for the Sauce username & API Key
  • Kicks off the Java utility with the authentication information as a daemon
• The script kills the daemon nightly at 12am and redeploys the tunnel, to ensure Sauce is kept fresh.

How to run:

Prerequisites: Python 2.7.4+ and Java (latest) installed.

To run this script, open a command prompt as Administrator, cd to the folder you downloaded the script, and execute the script:

SauceConnectSetup.py

or depending on your PATH variable and how your system handles .py file extensions:

python SauceConnectSetup.py
