AppiumLibCore

This library is a Ruby client for Appium. The gem is available via appium_lib_core.

This library wraps selenium-webdriver and adapts WebDriver APIs for Appium. ruby_lib calls all of Appium/Selenium related APIs via this core library. It works instance based driver.

Documentation

• https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/appium_lib_core
  • You can find working API examples in test code, test/functional
• Appium 2.0

How to start

Run tests

Unit Tests

Run unit tests which check each method and command, URL, using the webmock.

$ bundle install
$ UNIT_TEST=1 bundle exec parallel_test test/unit/

or

$ bundle install
$ UNIT_TEST=1 bundle exec rake test:unit

Functional Tests

Run functional tests which require the Appium server and real device, Simulator/Emulator.

• Start Appium server (Appium 2.0 base)

$ npm install --location=global appium
$ appium driver install xcuitest
$ appium driver install uiautomator2 # etc
$ appium --relaxed-security # To run all tests in local

• Conduct tests

$ bundle install
$ rake test:func:android # Andorid, uiautomator2
$ APPIUM_DRIVER=espresso rake test:func:android # Andorid, uiautomator2
$ rake test:func:ios # iOS

Real device for iOS

• You should pre-install UICatalog in iOS with a particular bundleId
  • Set the bundleId instead of app in test/test_helper#ios

# Create derivedDataPath in "/tmp/#{org_id}" and reuse xctestrun in the directory
$ REAL=true BUNDLE_ID='target-bundleid' WDA_BUNDLEID="ios.appium.WebDriverAgentRunner" ORG_ID=XXXXXXX rake test:func:ios
# Run with xcconfig file. The template is in 'test/functional/ios/temp.xcconfig'# The PROVISIONING_PROFILE is in '~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/'
$ REAL=true XCODE_CONFIG_FILE='/path/to/xcconfig' ORG_ID=XXXXXXX rake test:func:ios

Run parallel tests with parallel_tests gem

Android

# Generate 3 emulators. Running 3 emulators require much machine power.
# It requires an image which is for Google Play and x86 CPU architecture's image.
$ bundle exec rake android:gen_device
$ PARALLEL=1 bundle exec parallel_test test/functional/android -n 3

iOS

• Create iPhone simulators named iPhone Xs Max- 8100 and iPhone Xs Max - 8101
• Run iOS functional tests with below command

$ PARALLEL=1 bundle exec parallel_test test/functional/ios -n 2

CI

• Runs on CI environment (on Azure)
  • Non IGNORE_VERSION_SKIP or IGNORE_VERSION_SKIP=true runs all tests ignoring skip them by Appium versions
  • IGNORE_VERSION_SKIP=false skips the following tests if the Appium version is lower than the requirement

$ IGNORE_VERSION_SKIP=true CI=true bundle exec rake test:func:android

Run a test case

1. Launch the Appium server locally.
2. Run the following script.

• test.rb

  require'rubygems'require'appium_lib_core'opts={capabilities: {# Append capabilitiesplatformName: 'ios',platformVersion: '15.8.3',deviceName: 'iPhone 17',# app: '/path/to/MyiOS.app', # Without 'app' capability, an appium session starts with the home screenautomationName: 'XCUITest',# "appium:bundleId":"com.apple.mobilesafari",# "usePreinstalledWDA": true,useNewWDA: false,browserName: 'Safari',# "webDriverAgentUrl": "http://192.168.4.47:8100","udid": "00008020-000E5CDA0A23002E",'xcodeOrgId': '47PCFA586Q','xcodeSigningId': 'iPhone Developer','updatedWDABundleId': 'com.kazucocoa.wda',allowProvisioningDeviceRegistration: true,# 'appium:skipLogCapture': true},appium_lib: {wait: 30}}@core=Appium::Core.for(opts)# create a core driver with `opts`@driver=@core.start_driver# Launch iPhone Simulator and `MyiOS.app`@driver.find_element(:accessibility_id,'some accessibility')# find an element

• Run the script

  # shell 1
  $ appium --log-level warn:error # show only warning and error logs# shell 2
  $ ruby test.rb

Appium::Core.for documentation has more example to build a new driver instance.

More examples are in test/functional

As of version 5.8.0, the client can attach to an existing session. The main purpose is for debugging.

# @driver is the driver instance of an existing sessionattached_driver= ::Appium::Core::Driver.attach_to@driver.session_id,url: 'http://127.0.0.1:4723',automation_name: 'XCUITest',platform_name: 'ios'assertattached_driver.session_id == @driver.session_idattached_driver.page_source

Capabilities

Read Appium/Core/Driver to catch up with available capabilities. Capabilities affect only ruby_lib is Appium/Core/Options.

Improvement ideas

• for iOS

$ appium driver run xcuitest download-wda-sim --outdir=/path/to/download/prebuilt/wda/

Then, adding capabilities below:

{
"appium:usePreinstalledWDA": true,
"appium:prebuiltWDAPath": "/path/to/download/prebuilt/wda/WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner.app"
}

It will improve initial new session request performance for iOS simulator.

"appium:settings[respectSystemAlerts]" => true for capability will also help to work with permissions.

Gives custom listener

An example to define a customer listener with Selenium::WebDriver::Support::AbstractEventListener

classCustomListener < ::Selenium::WebDriver::Support::AbstractEventListener//somethingendcapabilities: {platformName: :ios,platformVersion: '11.0',deviceName: 'iPhone Simulator',automationName: 'XCUITest',app: '/path/to/MyiOS.app'}appium_lib: {listener: CustomListener.new}@core=Appium::Core.forcapabilities: capabilities,appium_lib: appium_lib@core.start_driver
