For who is stuck after run with test one, you should update a little bit because we are finding element of selenium webdriver instead android app: AppiumDriver driver; => Update to: WebDriver driver; driver = new AppiumDriver(url, caps); => Update to: driver = new RemoteWebDriver(url, caps);

[@i2ms8991]

Hi I need a little clarifucation from you, when you are ceating a web automation framework using selenium java using maven using page object model, we have a page layer and a test layer. In page layer we do have page classes in pages package and a BaseTest in a base package. Why didn't you use the same approach in designing this mobile automation framework? Can't we create a Base class here and inside that can't we create those desired capabilities and launching the driver method? Then its about calling them in the test classes noh ? Because in page object model you can't use driver apis in test layer, if you do that it happens to be a violation of page object model as per the Martin the inventor of POM. So I am asking again why can't we use the same approach in mobile devices? Is that because they don't have specific pages hence we cant create separate page classes? If that so is what should be the way to create a framework then ?

[@RaghavPal]

Isuru Yes, you can use the same approach in designing a mobile automation framework using Appium. The Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern that can be used to decouple the test code from the implementation details of the application under test. It does this by creating separate classes for each page in the application. These classes contain methods for interacting with the elements on the page. The Base class in the POM pattern is a generic class that contains common methods for all pages, such as the method for launching the driver. This class can be used in both web and mobile automation frameworks. In the case of mobile automation, the Base class can also contain methods for configuring the device, such as setting the device name and the device orientation. The test classes in the POM pattern should only call the methods in the Page classes. This ensures that the test code is decoupled from the implementation details of the application under test. Here is an example of how the POM pattern can be used in a mobile automation framework: ``` public class BaseTest { protected AppiumDriver driver; public BaseTest() { this.driver = new AppiumDriver(); } public void launchApp() { driver.launchApp(); } public void closeApp() { driver.closeApp(); } } public class HomePage extends Page { public void clickLoginButton() { driver.findElementById("loginButton").click(); } } public class LoginPage extends Page { public void enterUsername(String username) { driver.findElementById("username").sendKeys(username); } public void enterPassword(String password) { driver.findElementById("password").sendKeys(password); } public void clickLoginButton() { driver.findElementById("loginButton").click(); } } public class Test1 { @Test public void testLogin() { BaseTest baseTest = new BaseTest(); baseTest.launchApp(); HomePage homePage = new HomePage(baseTest.driver); homePage.clickLoginButton(); LoginPage loginPage = new LoginPage(baseTest.driver); loginPage.enterUsername("username"); loginPage.enterPassword("password"); loginPage.clickLoginButton(); } } ``` In this example, the BaseTest class contains the methods for launching the driver and closing the app. The HomePage class and the LoginPage class contain methods for interacting with the elements on the HomePage and the LoginPage, respectively. The Test1 class tests the login functionality of the application. This is just one example of how the POM pattern can be used in a mobile automation framework. There are many other ways to implement the POM pattern. The best way to implement the POM pattern will depend on the specific application under test.

[@i2ms8991]

@@RaghavPal Thank you very much for your detailed explanation, I think your page classes should extend base class right, hope that it's by a typo that you have written it as public class HomePage extends Page It should be public class HomePage extends BaseTest Am I correct ?

Hi Raghav, I have been searching alot for some good tutorials on Automation using Appium and Maven and I finally came across your videos - Very well laid out and explained. Thank you so much for helping us get a good grasp of the concepts. I have a few doubts: 1. I used pom to define my dependencies- appium java client, selenium and tetng jars and built the maven application. Now when trying to go to AppiumDriver or AndroidDriver class, I get an error mentioning that the JAR file has no source attachment I couldnt find the path too to mention. How do I go about resolving that as I am interested in exploring the classes in some jar files. 2. When setting the below capability (basically instantiating the ChromeDriver), I am getting the below errror- No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome '58.0.3029'

[@RaghavPal]

Glad to know it helped Divya. 1. You can provide the location of your jar. Check here - stackoverflow.com/questions/15180411/attach-the-source-in-eclipse-of-a-jar 2. You will need to get chromedrive exe ver as per the ver of chrome browser on your system

I have followed every step but MobileCapabilityType is not resolved. Stuck here. Any help please?

[@RaghavPal]

Venkat MobileCapabilityType is a part of the Appium Java client, so let's go through some possible reasons why it's not being resolved: Missing dependency: Make sure you have the Appium Java client dependency in your project's pom.xml file (if you're using Maven) or your build.gradle file (if you're using Gradle). For Maven: io.appium java-client 7.3.0 For Gradle: dependencies { implementation 'io.appium:java-client:7.3.0' } Incorrect import: Double-check that you have imported the correct package in your Java file: import io.appium.java_client.MobileCapabilityType; Typo or capitalization issue: Verify that you haven't made a typo or capitalization mistake when using MobileCapabilityType. Java is case-sensitive, so make sure it's exactly as written above. Outdated Appium version: If you're using an older version of Appium, MobileCapabilityType might not be available. Try updating to the latest version of the Appium Java client. Project setup issues: Sometimes, project setup issues can cause problems with resolving dependencies. Try cleaning and rebuilding your project, or even creating a new project from scratch to rule out any project-specific issues. IDE issues: If you're using an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ, try restarting the IDE or invalidating the cache and restarting. This can sometimes resolve issues with dependency resolution. -

Hi Raghav, I wanted to ask you something: In order to perform automation with appium and Java & Selenium for Apple devices you will need an Mac machine? Is it possible to perform this under Windows machine? Thanks for your great work.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Gabriel, In order to perform automation testing with Appium and Java & Selenium for Apple devices, you need a Mac machine. This is because Appium relies on Apple's XCUITest automation framework, which is only available on macOS. Therefore, if you want to automate testing on Apple devices, you will need a Mac machine to run Appium. While it is possible to write the code for Appium using Java & Selenium on a Windows machine, you will not be able to execute the tests on an Apple device without a Mac machine. However, there are a few workarounds that allow you to perform testing on a real iOS device without a Mac machine. These include: Using a cloud-based testing service that provides access to real iOS devices for testing. Examples of such services include Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, and Firebase Test Lab. Using a third-party tool such as CrossBrowserTesting's Appium Studio, which provides an emulation of XCUITest on a Windows machine. Using a virtual machine running macOS on your Windows machine. This requires you to have a licensed copy of macOS and access to a virtual machine software such as VMware or VirtualBox. However, these workarounds may have limitations in terms of performance, reliability, and device compatibility, so it is recommended to use a physical Mac machine for Appium testing on Apple devices.

hi Raghav, I am not able to use AppiumDriver driver; It is giving me fixes. I am using java-client (9.3.0) , selenium-java(4.23.1) , testng(7.10.2). Could you please help me with the troubleshoot?

[@RaghavPal]

Pooja Let's break down the issue step by step and try to troubleshoot the problem. Step 1: Verify the imports Make sure you have the correct imports in your Java file. You should have the following imports: ```java import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver; import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement; ``` If you don't have these imports, add them and see if the issue persists. Step 2: Check the Appium Java Client version You mentioned you're using Appium Java Client version 9.3.0. This version is compatible with Selenium 4.x. However, there might be some issues with the latest versions of Selenium. Try downgrading Selenium to a version that is known to work with Appium Java Client 9.3.0, such as Selenium 4.0.0. Step 3: Check the Selenium version As you're using Selenium 4.23.1, which is a relatively new version. Try downgrading to a version that is known to work with Appium Java Client 9.3.0, such as Selenium 4.0.0. Step 4: Verify the Maven dependencies (if using Maven) If you're using Maven, verify that your `pom.xml` file has the correct dependencies: ```xml io.appium java-client 9.3.0 org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 4.0.0 org.testng testng 7.10.2 ``` Step 5: Check for conflicts with other dependencies If you have other dependencies in your project, they might be causing conflicts with Appium Java Client or Selenium. Try removing other dependencies one by one to see if the issue persists. Step 6: Clean and rebuild the project Sometimes, cleaning and rebuilding the project can resolve issues. Try cleaning and rebuilding your project to see if the issue is resolved. Step 7: Check the Eclipse/IDE settings (if using Eclipse/IDE) If you're using Eclipse or another IDE, check the project settings to ensure that the Java Client and Selenium libraries are properly configured.

Hi Raghav, I follow this tutorial but get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" when running the TestNG . I am using javac 20.0.1 and java 20.0.1, selenium 3.141.59, java-client 7.0.0, and testng 7.8.0. I am trying to find the solution for this since yesterday but still cant solve this issue. The terminal log said nothing bout this error.

[@RaghavPal]

Nadia The error message "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" means that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is unable to load the class because it is not compatible with the version of the JVM that is running. This error can occur for a few reasons: * The class file was compiled with a newer version of Java than the JVM is running. * The class file is corrupt. * The JVM is not configured to run Java 18. To troubleshoot this error, you can try the following: * Check the Java version that the class file was compiled with. You can do this by looking at the file header of the class file. * Check the Java version that the JVM is running. You can do this by running the following command: ``` java -version ``` If the Java version that the class file was compiled with is newer than the Java version that the JVM is running, then you need to compile the class file with the older version of Java. If the class file is corrupt, then you need to delete the class file and recompile it. If the JVM is not configured to run Java 18, then you need to update the JVM configuration. I hope this helps!

Hi Raghav, I would appreciate if you can make a new video on using WinDriver with Appium in this playlist. A simple demonstration of how to open a browser from the windows os system and run a simple google search test. Many resources available in the internet but most of them are with calculator application. If you can add a simple video how we can automate windows application especially a browser based test that would be awesome. I hope by using Appium with Windriver we can even replace selenium. Please advise.

In web automation we used to write .xml config file right. Here mobile automation not required that approach?

[@RaghavPal]

Suresh In web automation, XML configuration files are often used to manage settings and parameters for test frameworks like Selenium. However, in mobile automation with Appium, the approach can be different. Appium typically uses desired capabilities, which are a set of key-value pairs that define the context of the test run. These capabilities can be written in JSON format and included directly in your test code or in a separate JSON file. Here's an example of how desired capabilities might look in a JSON file for an Appium test: ```json { "platformName": "Android", "platformVersion": "11.0", "deviceName": "Android Emulator", "app": "/path/to/your/app.apk", "automationName": "UiAutomator2" } ``` You would then load these capabilities in your test setup. For instance, in Java, you might use the `DesiredCapabilities` class to load them: ```java DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android"); capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "11.0"); capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator"); capabilities.setCapability("app", "/path/to/your/app.apk"); capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "UiAutomator2"); AppiumDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities); ``` This approach is different from traditional web automation, where XML configuration files might be used more extensively. In Appium, JSON is preferred for defining capabilities because it is more concise and integrates well with the programming languages commonly used for writing tests (like Java, Python, etc.).

In my code 2nd class is dependent on 1st class and 3rd class is dependent on 2nd class then how we can implement it in testng framework?

[@RaghavPal]

Ganesh To implement dependent classes in TestNG framework, you can use the dependsOnMethods or dependsOnGroups attribute in your test annotations For example, if your 2nd class is dependent on the 1st class, you can use dependsOnMethods like this: public class FirstClass { @Test public void testMethod1() { // Your test code here } } public class SecondClass { @Test(dependsOnMethods = "testMethod1") public void testMethod2() { // Your test code here } } Similarly, if your 3rd class is dependent on the 2nd class, you can use dependsOnMethods like this: public class ThirdClass { @Test(dependsOnMethods = "testMethod2") public void testMethod3() { // Your test code here } } You can also use dependsOnGroups if you have grouped your tests using the groups attribute For example: public class FirstClass { @Test(groups = "group1") public void testMethod1() { // Your test code here } } public class SecondClass { @Test(groups = "group2", dependsOnGroups = "group1") public void testMethod2() { // Your test code here } } public class ThirdClass { @Test(groups = "group3", dependsOnGroups = "group2") public void testMethod3() { // Your test code here } } This way, you can ensure that your tests are executed in the correct order based on their dependencies Note that you need to make sure that the dependent tests are in the same test class or in a class that is executed before the dependent test class -
