If you have done all and want to install appium inspector then please download the latest version of the appium.dmg file. If you are new to appium then please go through previous chapters. Save above URL because you need this in appium code and appium inspector. Users/administrator/Documents/dev/ionicapps/AppiumTestApp/platforms/ios/build/emulator/AppiumTestApp.app We will use this application to write very basic automation test and execute on an emulator.Īfter building iOS platform, you will find a folder for app you need to save that location which you need to setup appium app. This capitalizes your first and last name and print on the screen.
On the basic form, there are two text fields, first and last name respectively and one submit button. This app has two side menus, one for home and other is in basic form. $ git clone :learnseleniumtesting/AppiumTestApp.gitĪpp will start an emulator. To build and view the app, you need to install ionic first which is quick. App under test is a hybrid app build using ionic. Now you have setup your computer for write automation script to test your app. Setup App-Under-Test, Appium, and Appium Inspector Setup Demo App Under Test:
$ brew install maven (if you get 404 error, try brew update and try again) $ echo ‘export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:”$PATH”‘ > ~/.profile $ sudo cp -rf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin /usr/local/apache-antĪdd the new version of Ant to future terminal sessions Open terminal and go to the download folder where you have downloaded apache-ant-X.Y. To install that go to and download tar.gz Make sure that you are using node version higher than 0.0.6.Īpache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool that help building software. $ ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL )” Install nodejs using brew. $ gem install –no-rdoc –no-ri appium_console $ gem cleanup Make sure that Ruby Gem is >=2.1.5 $ rvm install ruby Install bundler and ruby gem: Install latest and stable version of ruby: For Appium on mac, OS X 10.10 is recommended. If you are using the mac then I assume that you are using latest and greatest version of OS X. NET, Python etc.) which supports Appium’s extension to the WebDriver protocol.You need to these libraries instead of WebDriver libraries. There are multiple libraries( Java, Ruby.
This processes your test code and executes on device or simulator. Appium Server:Īppium server is written in node.js. Refer here for list of desired capabilities. There are multiple settings on the desired capabilities which you can send. If you want to test on the device you can send platform name as “iOS” or “Selendroid”. Desired Capabilities:ĭesired capabilities are the combination of keys and value like map or hash where you can assign and send various setting for automation to the server. At this point, the server establishes a connection with sessionID which can be used to perform further commands. The client establishes a session with the server and sends commands that end up sending /POST session with a JSON Object, called Desired Capabilities Object. Session:Īppium always performs automation in session. Being web server based on REST API gives us an advantage that we can use any language that has REST API and easy to communicate with Appium API to write our test code like Java, Ruby. It receives connections from the client, accept and process commands and execute those commands on a mobile device and return the response back to the client. Core ConceptsĪppium is based on five core concepts: Client Server Architecture:Īppium is based on CSA and it’s actually a web server with REST API. Instead of talking too much about the introduction, let’s start working on this. In this tutorial, we will use Java to write automation scripts. Yes ( for real devices, iOS-webkit-remote-debugger required)
IPhone Simulator, iPad Simulator, and real iPhones and iPadsĪndroid emulators and real Android devices Cordova PhoneGap or Ionic apps are the wrapper around web technologies and bundled into native UI libraries.Īppium is a “class-platform” test tool that means you can use Appium APIs to write automation for iOS and Android. Hybrid apps are a wrapper around webview, a native control that interacts with webview. Mobile web apps are web apps access by browsers like chrome or safari. Native apps are written using iOS or Android SDK. Appium is an open source automation tool to test native, webview and hybrid application in iOS and Android devices.
