I'm trying to get the session_id to post a message to Telegram after the test is done so that I can simply click the link and view the test run report.

I am running a single test where I attempt to retrieve the real session_id.

Here is my code:

    def test_sauce_link(self):
        main_page_1 = MainPage(self.driver)
        session_id = self.driver.session_id
        clean_session_id = re.sub(r"-", "", session_id)  
        report_url = f"/{clean_session_id}"
        TelegramReport.send_tg(f"{report_url}")

The resulting ID from the run log: Message sent to Telegram:

Meanwhile, the actual link from Sauce Labs is:

They are different, and the link from the test does not even work—it returns a 404 error when I try to open it.

What am I doing wrong here? Please help.

For anyone wonder, they answered me with this:

test_report_url = self.driver.capabilities.get("testobject_test_report_url")
TelegramReport.send_tg(f"{test_report_url}")

and finally it works!
