Constructing a video link to record all screenshots during automation in Sauce Labs

Note:
The URL on Sauce Labs which stores the video recording is as follows.

https://assets.saucelabs.com/jobs/<session-id>/video.flv
  1. Retrieve the session ID of the target cloud device by using the connect cloud device action.

    	                   url	                                                                              capabilities                                                                                                                                       name 
    assign cloud device	http://joe.doe:[email protected]:80/wd/hub    {"name":"TestArchitect - test gmail","browserName": "safari","deviceName": "iPhone 6 Simulator","platformName": "ios","platformVersion": "9.3"}    cloud_device
    
    	                   name	      session id
    connect cloud device      cloud_device     >>session_id
    
  2. Create a user-defined field to build a video link which captures entire automated tests in Sauce Labs.

    For example, create a field Screenshot Recording. (Learn more.)

  3. Use the assign result field action to assign the video link’s value to the Screenshot Recording field.

    This link is built based on the target device’s session ID.

    	                session id		
    use cloud device       #session_id		
    
    	                location	
    navigate	        https://www.google.com.vn/		
    
    	                field	             value	
    assign result field    Screenshot Recording     #"https://assets.saucelabs.com/jobs/" & session_id & "/video.flv"	
    

The test procedure should resemble the following.

In the test result, you will see a video link as follows.
