Bright Data CI Integration
Overview
Set up CI/CD pipelines for Bright Data scraping projects with GitHub Actions. Includes mocked unit tests that run without proxy access and optional live integration tests that verify actual proxy connectivity.
Prerequisites
- GitHub repository with Actions enabled
- Bright Data test zone credentials
- npm/pnpm project configured
Instructions
Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow
# .github/workflows/scraper-tests.yml
name: Scraper Tests
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
unit-tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '20'
cache: 'npm'
- run: npm ci
- run: npm test -- --coverage
# Unit tests use mocked proxy responses — no credentials needed
integration-tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
if: github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
env:
BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID: ${{ secrets.BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID }}
BRIGHTDATA_ZONE: ${{ secrets.BRIGHTDATA_ZONE }}
BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD }}
BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: '20'
cache: 'npm'
- run: npm ci
- name: Download Bright Data CA cert
run: curl -sO https://brightdata.com/ssl/brd-ca.crt
- name: Verify proxy connectivity
run: |
curl -x "http://brd-customer-${BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID}-zone-${BRIGHTDATA_ZONE}:${BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD}@brd.superproxy.io:33335" \
-s https://lumtest.com/myip.json | python3 -m json.tool
- run: npm run test:integration
Step 2: Configure GitHub Secrets
gh secret set BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID --body "c_abc123"
gh secret set BRIGHTDATA_ZONE --body "web_unlocker_test"
gh secret set BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD --body "z_test_password"
gh secret set BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN --body "test_api_token"
Step 3: Write Mocked Unit Tests
// tests/unit/scraper.test.ts — runs without Bright Data credentials
import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
import axios from 'axios';
vi.mock('axios');
describe('Scraper', () => {
beforeEach(() => vi.clearAllMocks());
it('should configure proxy correctly', async () => {
vi.mocked(axios.create).mockReturnValue({
get: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ status: 200, data: '<html>OK</html>' }),
} as any);
const { getBrightDataClient } = await import('../../src/brightdata/client');
const client = getBrightDataClient();
expect(axios.create).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
expect.objectContaining({
proxy: expect.objectContaining({ host: 'brd.superproxy.io', port: 33335 }),
})
);
});
it('should parse HTML response into structured data', async () => {
const { parseProductPage } = await import('../../src/brightdata/parser');
const result = parseProductPage('<html><h1>Product</h1><span class="price">$29.99</span></html>');
expect(result.title).toBe('Product');
expect(result.price).toBe('$29.99');
});
});
Step 4: Write Live Integration Tests
// tests/integration/proxy.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
const LIVE = process.env.BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID && process.env.BRIGHTDATA_ZONE;
describe.skipIf(!LIVE)('Bright Data Live Integration', () => {
it('should connect through proxy', async () => {
const { getBrightDataClient } = await import('../../src/brightdata/client');
const client = getBrightDataClient();
const res = await client.get('https://lumtest.com/myip.json');
expect(res.status).toBe(200);
expect(res.data).toHaveProperty('ip');
expect(res.data).toHaveProperty('country');
}, 30000);
it('should scrape through Web Unlocker', async () => {
const { getBrightDataClient } = await import('../../src/brightdata/client');
const client = getBrightDataClient();
const res = await client.get('https://example.com');
expect(res.status).toBe(200);
expect(res.data).toContain('Example Domain');
}, 60000);
});
Output
- Unit tests run on every PR without proxy credentials
- Integration tests run on main push with live proxy
- GitHub secrets configured securely
- CA certificate downloaded in CI
Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Integration tests fail | Missing secrets | Add via gh secret set |
| Proxy timeout in CI | Slow CAPTCHA | Increase test timeout to 60s |
| Flaky tests | IP rotation variability | Use lumtest.com for stable verification |

Said here and by no other author read
- run unit tests with coverage on pushes and PRs
- run integration tests only on pushes to main
- set Bright Data credentials as GitHub secrets
- mock the HTTP client in unit tests
- skip live tests when credentials are missing
- download the CA certificate in CI
