#147 Fix. The Appium node silent starting by TikhomirovSergey · Pull Request #240 · appium/java-client

TikhomirovSergey · 2015-09-08T22:30:24Z

Change list is below:

a new dependency was added;

 <dependency>
<groupId>commons-validator</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-validator</artifactId>
<version>1.4.1</version>
</dependency>

The package io.appium.java_client.service.local with designed classes was added;
The class io.appium.java_client.remote.AppiumCommandExecutor was designed;
AppiumDriver and subclasses were refactored. New constructors were added.
almost all tests were redesigned

Requirements

Installed Node.js 0.10 or greater.
At least an appium server instance installed via npm.

Warning (!!!) Node.js versions which lower than 0.12 are deprecated for Appium server >=1.4.10

Which capabilities these features provide

Proposed features provide abilities and options of the starting of a local Appium node server. End users still able to open apps as usual

DesiredCapabilitiescapabilities = newDesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "Android Emulator");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, app.getAbsolutePath());
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 120);
driver = newAndroidDriver<>(newURL("remoteOrLocalAddress"), capabilities);

when the server has been working locally\remotely. Now they are free to launch a local Appium node server and open their app for the further testing the following way:

DesiredCapabilitiescapabilities = newDesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "Android Emulator");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, app.getAbsolutePath());
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 120);
driver = newAndroidDriver<>(capabilities);

How to prepare the local service before the starting

If there is no specific parameters then

importio.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumDriverLocalService;
...
AppiumDriverLocalServiceservice = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();
service.start();
...
service.stop();

If there should be non default parameters specified then

importio.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumDriverLocalService;
importio.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumServiceBuilder;
importio.appium.java_client.service.local.flags.GeneralServerFlag;
...
AppiumDriverLocalServiceservice = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(newAppiumServiceBuilder().withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.TEMP_DIRECTORY,
"C:/Windows/Temp"));

or

importio.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumDriverLocalService;
importio.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumServiceBuilder;
importio.appium.java_client.service.local.flags.GeneralServerFlag;
...
AppiumDriverLocalServiceservice = newAppiumServiceBuilder().withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.TEMP_DIRECTORY,
"C:/Windows/Temp").build();

Lists of available server side flags are here:

io.appium.java_client.service.local.flags.GeneralServerFlag;
io.appium.java_client.service.local.flags.AndroidServerFlag;
io.appium.java_client.service.local.flags.IOSServerFlag

Which parameters also can be defined

If there is need to define some specific port or any free port

newAppiumServiceBuilder().
usingPort(4000);

or

newAppiumServiceBuilder().
usingAnyFreePort();

if there is need to use another IP address

newAppiumServiceBuilder().withIPAddress("127.0.0.1");

if there is need to define output log file

importjava.io.File;
...
newAppiumServiceBuilder().withLogFile(logFile);

if there is need to define another Node.js executable file

importjava.io.File;
...
newAppiumServiceBuilder().usingDriverExecutable(nodeJSExecutable);

if there is need to define another appium.js file

importjava.io.File;
...
newAppiumServiceBuilder().withAppiumJS(appiumJS);

Some more detailes about this use case. The node server instance which has been installed via npm is supposed to be used by default. This instance can be overridden if an end user defines the "appium.node.path" system property any available way.

Externally defined file path or file path defined at system properties should contain a full path to the appium.js file (!). These server instances should have the proper structure.

How to create an AppiumDriver instance

The common constructor is still available

publicAppiumDriver(URLremoteAddress, CapabilitiesdesiredCapabilities)

There are new constructors:

publicAppiumDriver(AppiumDriverLocalServiceservice, CapabilitiesdesiredCapabilities) publicAppiumDriver(AppiumServiceBuilderbuilder, CapabilitiesdesiredCapabilities)
publicAppiumDriver(CapabilitiesdesiredCapabilities)

An instance of AppiumDriverLocalService which has passed through constructors will be stopped when

driver.quit();

If there is need to keep the service alive during a long time then something like that is available

service.start();
....
newIOSDriver<MobileElement>(service.getUrl(), capabilities)

Will you mind if I'll myself to developer list

#147

TikhomirovSergey · 2015-09-08T22:43:30Z

These features send server output to an IDE console also.

Jonahss · 2015-09-08T22:52:57Z

Oh wow this IS the bomb, way to go.

I'm liking it.
Definitely add yourself to the developer list :)

I'm glad you included good exceptions for if appium or Nodejs aren't installed.

@simonk how's it look to you?

bootstraponline · 2015-09-08T23:21:00Z

Is this test going to pass on non-windows?

It is passees on Mac OS X. But I'll remove this in order to avoid the confusion.

bootstraponline · 2015-09-08T23:24:35Z

This PR is cool 👍 If I understand correctly, java-client is now able to programmatically start the appium node server.

bootstraponline · 2015-09-08T23:32:30Z

Do you think it'd be more concise like this?
thrownewServerNotStartedException("The local appium server has not been started.");
The message An unexpected throwable has been caught! isn't very useful to an end user.

TikhomirovSergey · 2015-09-09T07:51:53Z

Thanks @bootstraponline for remarks. I'll make improvements as sson as possible.

This PR is cool 👍 If I understand correctly, java-client is now able to programmatically start the appium node server.

Yep! You are exactly right!

TikhomirovSergey · 2015-09-09T22:42:48Z

@bootstraponline @Jonahss Improvements were done.

I added custom_node_path.properties. Here are paths to appium.js installed with Appium desktop application. They are needed for 2-4 tests. Make sure that Appium desktop application is installed on your environment

bootstraponline · 2015-09-09T22:53:50Z

@saikrishna321 Sergey is on vacation for the next week or two. You can take a look at the source and try to see whats going wrong with your setup.

Tried with :
AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingDriverExecutable(new File("C:/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe")).withAppiumJS(new File("E:/AppiumForWindows-1.3.4.1/Appium/Appium.exe")));
Thread.sleep(60000);
service.start();

Seeing Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

prachi02 · 2015-09-23T08:40:41Z

@muralidhar1620 ...first try the default one
AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();

and see what you are getting

prachi02 · 2015-09-23T08:54:38Z

@muralidhar1620 ...for me this piece of code is working

service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingDriverExecutable(new File("C:/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe")).withAppiumJS(new File("D:/appium/Appium/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js")));
Thread.sleep(60000);
service.start();

prachi02 · 2015-09-23T08:59:14Z

@muralidhar1620 ...you have to give path of appium.js not appium.exe.....and another thing in capabilities section give this:
driver = new AndroidDriver(capabilities);

Not this: this gives error what you are getting
driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),
capabilities);

muralidhar1620 · 2015-09-23T11:02:17Z

@muralidhar1620 ....paste your entire code which you are using
Are you having all dependecies...like selenium 2.47 ,common validators 1.41,java client 3.2.0?

@prachi02 Also node.js is installedin windows and i am able to launch appium server from that manually.Thanks!

prachi02 · 2015-09-23T11:28:11Z

@muralidhar1620 ...no problem....

muralidhar1620 · 2015-09-23T12:03:48Z

@prachi02 Did you got the issue ?.Can you please paste all working code and its dependencies.Thanks!

prachi02 · 2015-09-23T12:07:39Z

In this section of code

/AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingDriverExecutable(new File("C:/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe")).withAppiumJS(new File("E:/AppiumForWindows-1.3.4.1/Appium/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js")));
Thread.sleep(60000);
service.start();/

AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();
Log_In();

Uncomment till service.start() and comment second last line like

AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingDriverExecutable(new File("C:/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe")).withAppiumJS(new File("E:/AppiumForWindows-1.3.4.1/Appium/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js")));
Thread.sleep(60000);
service.start();

Try the above code

muralidhar1620 · 2015-09-23T12:31:08Z

@prachi02 I tried with mentioned code before and now and i am facing with same issue

Can connect to my machine Remotely(Teamviewer) and check please

Email id : muralidhar230@gmail.com

@muralidhar1620 ...are you remotely login??.....

w2a · 2015-09-24T15:14:39Z

I just tried the new 3.2 and the appium server works absolutely fine without any issues. I have recorded a tutorial on the same if anyone needs step by step information can go through the youtube video from below link:

Thanks,

saikrishna321 · 2015-09-25T10:41:05Z

@w2a i was able to start the appium by below code

appiumDriverLocalService = AppiumDriverLocalService
.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingDriverExecutable(new File("/usr/local/bin/node"))
.withAppiumJS(new File("/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js"))
.withLogFile(new File("logs.txt")));
appiumDriverLocalService.start();

But i have an issue, it says adb could not be located in tools and platform-tools..

I have my ANDROID_HOME set in both .bash_profile and .zshrc profile ..

1.when i run my tests form commandline it works.
2. start appium server from terminal and then run tests it works fine, appium can locate adb

But when i start the test programmatically appium throws error. Find the below logs

do you have the androidStudio installed at this location: /Users/saikrisv/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools

and same you have given in the .bash_profile

The issue is related to the path variables not configure properly or have you ever installed Android SDK prior to installing the latest one that you are working on?

Thanks,
Raman

@ALL Is it possible to run script on multipe devices with this new Java client - Grid ? cc - @w2a

mzeljkovic · 2015-09-28T16:36:27Z

Hi All,

Awesome work!!
Just wondering, are you planning on exposing BootstrapPort and SelendroidPort in GeneralServerFlag? If memory serves right, starting multiple appium servers without overriding those ports will cause them to step on each other.

Cheers,
M

It doesn't work because a path to node.js is not defined in your PATH environment variable. Why? I don't know. Please check it. Here is the example for Win:

The same works fine on MAC OS X (I've checked it)/Linux if you download and install Node.js from: https://node js.org. Also the installation process should define the path to the instance in your PATH variable if everything is going properly.

Otherwise please open a new issue here:

savishy · 2015-11-20T05:29:45Z

This is just fantastic!
@VenkateshPS does the same Java code not work on Mac?

VenkateshPS · 2015-11-21T17:42:52Z

my question was how different the arguments for the code will be on mac? as i have installed and using Appium.app 1.4.13

saikrishna321 · 2015-11-24T04:46:24Z

@VenkateshPS There would b not different in code for mac.. All you need is appium installed from node.

HI @saikrishna321 and @w2a ,

Below is my code:

package abc;

import io.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumServiceBuilder;

public class NewTest {
private static AppiumDriverLocalService service;
@BeforeSuite
public void beforeSuite() throws InterruptedException{

service = AppiumDriverLocalService
.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingDriverExecutable(new File("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node"))
.withAppiumJS(new File("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js"))
.withLogFile(new File("logs.txt")));
service.start(); }
public AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver;
@Test
public void findings() {
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "");

capabilities.setCapability("udid", "*******");
try {

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}

I got the below error when I run the above code. Could you please help me to get rid of this.

Hi,

one of the server arguments is .withIPAdress() - what would be a scenario where I would change the IP address of the Appium server ? Not sure if I got this right...
