Problem Statement:

However, you can use the Virtuoso Bridge client to connect your local environment to the cloud and run executions.

For more information on the Virtuoso Bridge client and how to test local applications using it, refer to this article. Specifically, you can read this to test local applications using the Virtuoso Bridge.

When you run a Bridge Client on your terminal, note down the IP addresses mentioned below the following message:

For access to localhost applications, in Virtuoso please replace localhost by one of the following:

Use any of these IP addresses in your Virtuoso “Goal Configuration” or “Navigate” test steps to access and execute the application set up on your local system.
