Hello Raghav, I am following you from a long time, learned so much. Your knowledge is admirable. I came here to take some inspiration for my mobile automation project. I have build a Java+Maven+TestNG framework for Android using Emulator.Following are the steps that I have done: 1. In my Base class I start the appium server programatically as follows: service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService(); service.start(); and then call this method in BaseTestClass as shown below: @BeforeTest public void setUp() throws IOException { killNodes(); service = startAppiumServer(); } @AfterTest public void tearDown() { service.stop(); } 2.I have node.js installed and set in env variables and also have installed appium using npm install -g appium 3.I am able to run the tests via testng.xml-> Run As-> TestNG Suite and the tests are passing where the appium server is starting and stoping on the fly 4.Now I want to run these Test NG tests via Maven CLI for which I updated the pom.xml as shown below: 4.0.0 Appium MobileFramework 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT jar MobileFramework www.example.com UTF-8 1.8 1.8 src/main/java/resources true org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-plugin 2.22.2 testng.xml org.testng testng 6.14.3 org.apache.commons commons-lang3 3.9 commons-io commons-io 2.6 io.appium java-client 7.0.0 com.aventstack extentreports 4.0.0 commons-validator commons-validator 1.6 org.slf4j slf4j-simple 1.7.26 test org.slf4j slf4j-api 1.7.26 org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 3.141.59 5.After the above changes I am able to complile the project successfully but when I test it using mvn test command I get the following error: ------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] T E S T S [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] Running TestSuite [TestNGContentHandler] [WARN] It is strongly recommended to add "" at the top of your file, otherwise TestNG may fail or not work as expected.

Hi @raghav I want to run the test parallel in different devices at a same time. I have written the script and it's working fine in single device but could you please let me know the better way how can i run the same script in multiple devices at a same time. I want to run the test in real device and android emulator devices at a same time. Please let me know if you want more details. - thanks

[@RaghavPal]

Meet There are a few ways to run Appium tests in parallel on multiple devices. One way is to use the Appium Grid. The Appium Grid is a distributed testing framework that allows you to run tests on multiple devices and emulators. To use the Appium Grid, you need to set up a Grid server and then register your devices and emulators with the Grid server. Once your devices and emulators are registered with the Grid server, you can run your tests on the Grid server. Here are the steps on how to set up and use the Appium Grid: 1. Install the Appium Grid server. 2. Start the Appium Grid server. 3. Register your devices and emulators with the Appium Grid server. 4. Write your Appium tests. 5. Run your Appium tests on the Appium Grid server. Another way to run Appium tests in parallel on multiple devices is to use a cloud-based testing platform. There are a number of cloud-based testing platforms that offer Appium support, such as Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, and TestingBot. To use a cloud-based testing platform, you need to create an account with the platform and then upload your Appium tests to the platform. Once your tests are uploaded, you can run them on the platform's devices and emulators. Here are the steps on how to use a cloud-based testing platform to run Appium tests: 1. Create an account with the cloud-based testing platform. 2. Upload your Appium tests to the platform. 3. Run your Appium tests on the platform's devices and emulators. Whichever method you choose, make sure that your devices and emulators are compatible with Appium. You can find a list of compatible devices and emulators on the Appium website. I hope this helps

[@bobr5128]

How do you set up the tests to automatically run at 8:00 every morning on a Mac?

Hi Bob, for this you can use some CI tool like jenkins or you can create a .bat file with your commands and schedule it using some scheduler utility like we have task scheduler on windows

[@KamranAhmad-z7m]

how did you get appium in your working set?

[@RaghavPal]

Kamran There are two ways to get Appium in your working set: 1. *Add the Appium JAR files to your project.* To do this, right-click on your project and select *Build Path* > *Add External JARs*. Navigate to the Appium JAR files and click *Open*. 2. *Use a Maven dependency management tool.* If you are using a Maven dependency management tool, such as Eclipse Maven, you can add the Appium dependency to your pom.xml file. Once you have added Appium to your working set, you can start using it in your Eclipse project. Here is an example of how to add the Appium JAR files to your project: 1. Right-click on your project and select *Build Path* > *Add External JARs*. 2. Navigate to the Appium JAR files and click *Open*. 3. Click *Finish*. Here is an example of how to add the Appium dependency to your pom.xml file: ```xml io.appium appium-java-client 8.3.0 ``` Once you have added the Appium dependency to your pom.xml file, you need to run the following command to install the dependency: ``` mvn clean install ``` Once the dependency has been installed, you can start using Appium in your Eclipse project. Here is a simple Appium test case in Java: ```java import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver; import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType; import org.testng.annotations.Test; public class AppiumTest { @Test public void testAppium() throws Exception { AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("localhost:4723/wd/hub"), DesiredCapabilities.android()); // Launch the app driver.launchApp(); // Click on the button driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Button").click(); // Close the app driver.closeApp(); } } ``` To run this test case, you can use the TestNG Eclipse plugin. Right-click on the test case and select *Run as* > *TestNG Test*.

[@KamranAhmad-z7m]

thanks for the reply @@RaghavPal but i am using appium for ios automation testing can respond me in accordance to ios testing

[@RaghavPal]

To get Appium in your Eclipse working set for iOS testing, you can follow these steps: 1. *Install the Appium Java client and the Appium iOS driver.* You can do this using a dependency management tool, such as Maven or Gradle. For Maven, add the following dependencies to your pom.xml file: ```xml io.appium appium-java-client 8.3.0 io.appium ios-driver 8.3.0 ``` For Gradle, add the following dependencies to your build.gradle file: ```groovy dependencies { compile group: 'io.appium', name: 'appium-java-client', version: '8.3.0' compile group: 'io.appium', name: 'ios-driver', version: '8.3.0' } ``` 2. *Install the Appium Desktop app.* The Appium Desktop app provides a user interface for managing Appium servers and devices. You can download the Appium Desktop app from the Appium website. 3. *Add the Appium JAR files to your Eclipse project.* To do this, right-click on your project and select *Build Path* > *Add External JARs*. Navigate to the Appium JAR files and click *Open*. 4. *Create a new Appium driver instance.* To do this, you can use the following code: ```java import io.appium.java_client.ios.IOSDriver; import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType; import java.net.URL; public class AppiumTest { @Test public void testAppium() throws Exception { DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "iOS"); capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "iPhone 8"); capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, "path/to/your/app.ipa"); IOSDriver driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("localhost:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities); // Launch the app driver.launchApp(); // Click on the button driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Button").click(); // Close the app driver.closeApp(); } } ``` 5. *Run your Appium test.* To do this, right-click on the test case and select *Run as* > *TestNG Test*.

Hi Raghav, Is it necessary to add the selenium client library also ? Applium by default adds all selenium library is not it ?

[@RaghavPal]

When you do browser testing on mobile, you will be using Selenium libraries

[@ashwajitthukral9101]

I always have a doubt which style of writing capability is correct? caps.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, “Safari”); or caps.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, “Safari”); ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Ashwajit, Appium's MobileCapabilityType extends Selenium's CapabilityType interface. So it can use CapabilityType methods and has also implementation of its own methods specific for mobile testing. stackoverflow.com/questions/31996384/why-does-appium-use-platformname-instead-of-platform

Hey Raghav, I am having a hard time connecting real device on iOS, is there any extra config to follow? Already added did and device name. And second, I am trying to open an app from simulator by providing "app" capability, but the app closes as soon as Appium opens it, any ideas? Thanks!

[@sainiranjan40]

Hi Jorge, first try to replicate above example on simulator and then try on your real device. Please watch this video first ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5CZdJJjeLKkic0 ) I tested on my real device (iPad Air). Plug in your device to your mac and follow below steps which worked for me, 1. Installed WebDriverAgent on real device through Xcode 2. Open Terminal > Navigate to appium-webdriveragent folder. I am using appium desktop. Go to Applications > Right click on Appium icon > Show Package Contents > Contents > Resources > app > appium-webdriveragent. If you don't find this folder, go to search box and just type appium it will display appium-webdriveragent folder. Double click on folder and you will find WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj 3. Go back to terminal > cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent (Hit Return) 3. > mkdir -p Resources/WebDriverAgent.bundle (Hit Return) 4. > ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d (Hit Return) 5. > xcode build -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination 'id=' test - This will install WebDriverAgent on your real device 6. Now run above code from Eclipse 7. This should successfully launch Safari on your real device.

[@testingtrail]

@@sainiranjan40 90% of this I already covered, let me do a turn around with your instructions and I will let you know, thank you for taking the time :)

[@testingtrail]

I have found, after running all the steps that each time I run a test now (regardless or opening Safari or an app) I need to, in the middle of the run), go to General -> Profile -> Trust the webdrverAgent so it can run the test. But this is not desired since I need to manually accept it from the phone. It is like each time the test is run the webdriverAgent is deleted and then installed so it needs to be trusted again Any step I am missing here? Thanks! : The issue, that keeps webdriverAgent always being uninstalled each time the test run is related to '"useNewWDA": false', that needs to be false. At the end this configuration help me to run it 9using Ruby) #real device desired_caps = { 'platformName': 'iOS', 'platformVersion': '13.6', 'deviceName': "Jorge’s iPhone", "udid": "00008030-001249493E86802E", "automationName": "XCUITest", "app": "", "useNewWDA": false } appium_driver = Appium::Driver.new({ 'caps' => desired_caps, 'appium_lib' => { :server_url => "127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub" }}, true) driver = appium_driver.start_driver Thanks Sai and Raghav!

I was so happy to go through this video but Microsoft Appcenter has so many limitations like., Note the following limitations for Appium support: - No support for TestNG. - No support for Android 4.2 or prior. - No support for automating browsers or WebView context. - Maven version must be at least 3.3.9. - Support for Appium version 1.11.0 only. This appium version requires the appium java client to be at least 6.0.0 - JUnit 4.9 - 4.12 is supported; we don't support JUnit 5. - Tests must target precisely one app. (MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET is supported) Now I have to downgrade all versions, learn jUnit and setup from scratch :(

Response code 500. Message: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Could not determine iOS SDK version: Could not get Xcode version. /Library/Developer/Info.plist does not exist on disk.

[@RaghavPal]

This error message suggests that there is an issue with starting a new session using Selenium, likely due to a problem with the iOS SDK version or Xcode version. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue: Make sure that Xcode is installed on your machine and that the correct version is being used. You can check the version of Xcode by running the command xcodebuild -version in the terminal. If Xcode is installed, try specifying the path to the Xcode app using the xcodeOrgId and xcodeSigningId capabilities in your Selenium script. For example: DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities(); caps.setCapability("xcodeOrgId", "YOUR_ORG_ID"); caps.setCapability("xcodeSigningId", "YOUR_SIGNING_ID"); Check that the Info.plist file exists in the specified path /Library/Developer/Info.plist. If it does not exist, try reinstalling Xcode and/or verifying that the installation was successful. Make sure that you have the latest version of Selenium and the Selenium WebDriver for iOS installed. If none of the above solutions work, try restarting your machine and running the script again. Hopefully one of these steps resolves the issue and allows you to run your Selenium tests successfully.
