Can offline mode testing be done without altering the existing test capabilities?

We have a usecase where we are testing the Offline Mode. Is there any way to achieve this without modifying the existing capabilities?

Yes , you can achieve the same by using LambdaTest’s Mobile REST API endpoint to update the network conditions of an active mobile automation session.

Code snippet in C# is below:

string userName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LT_USERNAME") == null ?"LT_USERNAME" : Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LT_USERNAME");


string accessKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LT_ACCESS_KEY") == null ?
"LT_ACCESS_KEY" : Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LT_ACCESS_KEY");


var authToken = Convert.ToBase64String(
    Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"{userName}:{accessKey}")
);


/* Get session id */
string sessionId = _driver.SessionId.ToString();


/****** Setting offline mode *****/
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
   var url = "https://mobile-api.lambdatest.com/mobile-automation/api/v1/sessions/" + sessionId + "/update_network";


var json = "{\"mode\": \"offline\"}";
var content = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");


   client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization =
       new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", authToken);


   var response = client.PostAsync(url, content).Result;


   Console.WriteLine(response);
}


/****** Setting online mode *****/
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
   var url = "https://mobile-api.lambdatest.com/mobile-automation/api/v1/sessions/" + sessionId + "/update_network";


var json = "{\"mode\": \"online\"}";
var content = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");


   client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization =
       new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", authToken);


   var response = client.PostAsync(url, content).Result;


   Console.WriteLine(response);
}
