[@lucia_valik]

Thank you very much for great tutorials!! Could please help me how to launch app directly on specific screen? The app has a welcome screen, with 2 buttons- signup and signin. The app has only one activity for the whole app- the MainActivity. So how do i launch app directly on, for example, sign in screen without loading welcome screen and then clicking on 'sign in' button? If i understand it correctly, I could get there by specifying LoginActivity in desired capabilities, if there would be one. I was trying to find solution but i'm totally clueless. Thank you.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Lucia, If the app has only one activity and you want to launch the app directly on a specific screen without loading the welcome screen, you can try using the Appium Desired Capabilities to launch the app on the sign-in screen. Here's how you can do it: First, launch the app normally and navigate to the sign-in screen. Use the Appium Desktop app to inspect the sign-in button on the screen and get its resource ID or XPath. Open your Appium test script and set the desired capabilities to launch the app directly on the sign-in screen, using the resource ID or XPath of the sign-in button. DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities(); caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android"); caps.setCapability("deviceName", "your_device_name"); caps.setCapability("appPackage", "com.your.app.package"); caps.setCapability("appActivity", "com.your.app.package.MainActivity"); caps.setCapability("noReset", true); caps.setCapability("automationName", "UiAutomator2"); caps.setCapability("appWaitActivity", "com.your.app.package.SignInActivity"); caps.setCapability("appWaitPackage", "com.your.app.package"); caps.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 300); caps.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", true); caps.setCapability("disableWindowAnimation", true); caps.setCapability("appWaitDuration", 5000); caps.setCapability("uiautomator2ServerLaunchTimeout", 120000); AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("localhost:4723/wd/hub"), caps); In this code snippet, we have used the DesiredCapabilities class to set the desired capabilities for launching the app directly on the sign-in screen. The appActivity is set to the MainActivity of the app and the appWaitActivity is set to the SignInActivity. This will launch the app directly on the sign-in screen, skipping the welcome screen. You can customize the desired capabilities according to your app and device configuration. I hope this helps you to launch the app directly on a specific screen using Java and Appium.

[@lucia_valik]

@@RaghavPal Thank you for your comprehensive reply. However, I don't understand where will I get SignInActivity when there's no SignInActivity, just the MainActivity. Also, where do i put signin button xpath that you mentioned i need to get? In this specific case it doesn't make such a difference, but i have a robust app with more than 20 screens. I've already written all the page objects but there's no sense that every test would start at the main screen. In the web testing it's easy, driver.get(url) will get the job done.

[@RaghavPal]

I will need to check practically to get more details and inputs and that may not be possible for now, I will suggest to try at your end and take some help from online resources

[@lucia_valik]

@@RaghavPal Hey Raghav, thanks for reply. I've already find out that it's possible only if the app has the ability to do deep linking.

[@positive.boom-mind]

when i run one by one test case, this report generate as a new one, how could i append it? instead of creating a new one?

[@RaghavPal]

Umayanga To append your Extent Reports in Appium Java, you can use the following steps: 1. Create a new ExtentReports instance, and specify the path to where you want to save the report. 2. For each test case, create a new ExtentTest instance. 3. Use the ExtentTest instance to log your test steps and results. 4. When all of your test cases are finished, flush the ExtentReports instance to generate the report. Here is an example of how to append Extent Reports in Appium Java: ```java import com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentReports; import com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentTest; import com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.ExtentSparkReporter; import io.appium.java_client.ios.IOSDriver; public class AppiumJavaTest { private static ExtentReports extent; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { IOSDriver driver = new IOSDriver(); // Create a new ExtentReports instance extent = new ExtentReports("ExtentReport.html", false); // Start the test case ExtentTest test = extent.createTest("My Test Case"); // Perform the test steps driver.get("www.example.com"); test.pass("Navigated to the Google homepage"); // Flush the ExtentReports instance to generate the report extent.flush(); } } ``` The `false` parameter in the `ExtentReports` constructor specifies that we want to append the report, instead of creating a new one. You can run your test cases one at a time, and the ExtentReports instance will append the results to the same report. I hope this helps

is there any tutorial for how to share this report to others as pdf?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Jyotsna, Yes, you can export the Extent Reports generated by your Appium project in PDF format and share them with others One way to do this is by using the ExtentReports library's built-in feature to export the report to a PDF file. /* extent.flush(); extent.close(); extent.exportReport().toPdf(new File("path/to/save/report.pdf")); */ The flush() method writes all log events to the report, the close() method ends the report, and the exportReport() method exports the report to a PDF file.

How to run multiple classes in a suite?

[@RaghavPal]

In Appium, you can run multiple test classes as a suite by using TestNG framework. Here are the steps to run multiple classes in a suite: Create a testng.xml file and add the following code: Replace "com.packageName.TestClass1" and "com.packageName.TestClass2" with the actual package and class names of your test classes. Run the testng.xml file as a TestNG suite. In Eclipse, you can right-click on the testng.xml file and select "Run As" > "TestNG Suite". This will execute both the test classes as a suite.
