Sample Tests

Clone the project (https://github.com/saikrishna321/PageObjectPatternAppium) If your application is cross-platform and you end up building a PageObjectPattern Framework. Then you can also run those tests across Android and iOS devices connected to the same Mac OSX Host.

(e.g. If you have 3 Android and 3 iOS devices connected to the same machine, you will be able to execute these tests parallel on both platforms)

Parallel Run

FAQ

Q. Can I automate application which I already have installed/downloaded from App store?

A. With XCUITest framework, that is available from iOS version 9.3, it's possible to execute Native (WebViews content would not be reachable) application using its bundle id.

In order to get information about bundle id of pre-installed application:

• connect device with application installed;
• run ideviceinstaller -l or ideviceinstaller -l -u {udid of the device} in case more than one device connected to the host;
• in the list - find name of the application followed by its bundle id.

After that, instead of app capability bundleId should be used with application's bundle id as a value. Since Appium still needs WDA to be built and deployed on the real device - valid certificate and provisioning profile will be needed. More information could be found here

In case the tests need to interact with WebViews and/or iOS version has no support of XCUITest - Appium would need instruments application which is in debug mode. It will not work with any application which is not in debug mode. Read more about it here

Q. Does this framework support running multiple iOS simulators?

A. Yes, currently Appium does support multiple simulators with latest 1.6.6.beta with Xcode9-beta.

Q. Unable to instrument application or instruments crashed on start up?

A. Below are few possible causes

• (app/ipa) is not on debug mode.
• (app) targeted to simulator will not work with real device and vice versa
• Check device's developer option in settings.

Q. Unable to install application during automation?

A. A quick solution would be to try to install the application using "ideviceinstaller -i ipa_name". If that does not work, check app is built with a valid provisioning profile.

Q. Can I run tests on iOS app for which I have source code(e.g:"Wordpress") on real devices?

A. Yes, with a valid provisioning profile, this app can be installed on your device. (Note: The application must be signed with a valid developer certificate and your device should be added to the provisioning profile)

Need testcase step logs for manual qa to identify an issue and before reporting it as an issue manually test it in application, also need some modification in report

Hi Sai, Can you please add below points in your framework

(1) It would be great along with "AppiumServerLogs" and "AdbLogs" if there would be "testCaseStepsLogs" (using log4j logs) for manual QA to identify the issue looking at the testcase steps and before reporting it as an issue they can give it a try using steps log manually in application
Example :
Enter username
Enter password
click on sign in button
wait for welcome page to load

(2) In Extend report what i have noticed is when test case failed it doesn't display the name of failed test case, like in below screenshot LoginTest failed all 4 test but there is no name of testcase (hightailed in red)

(3) In below screenshot there are total 4 test in LoginTest but it doesn't says how many test cases "LoginTest" has among how many passed and how many failed (hightailed in red)

Thanks

Print the @Test description instead of the method name

It would look much nicer if in the extent report we are able to see the @test description instead of the method name or maybe along with the method name. It could allow the users to add more descriptive names for the extent results.

can i use this tools for appium grid ?

@saikrishna321
Hi, buddy.
i want to run the test on different PC, Most of the solution is that use selenium grid and support the parallel processing testing framework. Does this repo support use the selenium grid to run the test on different node?

Implement ExtentX reporting for the test results

Hey @saikrishna321,

I have 4 nodes which are executing tests using the AppiumTestDistribution framework, and the problem is that I get 4 separate reports from the nodes. The idea is to implement ExtentX reporting, because it's really easy to setup ExtentX server with MongoDB and that all 4 nodes are sending the results to the DB and that way we'll have single place for analysing the test results and we'll have test's history and trending graphs.

Create a Ignore annotation with value android and iOS

When running in parallel/distributed mode concurrently for both android and iOS at the same time, if a specific Test needs to be ignored for android/iOS

@IgnoreTest(value=android)
@Test
public void checkoutTest(){
...This method should be ignored running on android as its not implemented and should trigger in iOS
}

@SrinivasanTarget @jaydeepc thoughts?

Parallel Testing support for CI

Hey @saikrishna321, I'm currently looking into your framework and trying to find a way to integrate the parallel testing for Android with the CI to increase the efficiently in delivery pipeline of the product. Or i'm even thinking of running a local server in the office to make this happen.

Before i start going through the framework, i just wanted to check if you have any ideas or implementations already that i may have missed.

Getting an error while switching context from Native to WebView

Implement the passing of the noReset flag when creating the driver

Currently, the framework resets the app before every test which make impossible to test some scenarios for features like, intro screen is presented only once at first login, or scenario where email filed value is preserved after logout and on next start. One option is to pass the noReset flag to the driver at creation time so the app is not reseted.

Can this be done?

iOS hybrid apps web element doesn't trigger once switched from Native to Webview using webkit proxy server

Hi Sai, It's been last 2 days i have been trying to find out the root cause of why am i not able to click, send keys etc of web element once switched from Native to web view and i noticed that something that you need to modify in your framework for hybrid iOS apps web part to work.

When i commented out iOS Webkit proxy part from framework and manually started iOS wekitkit proxy server using below command i been able to access web element (if it is click event it clicked on web element).

ios_webkit_debug_proxy -c 1fb95ac900359617add8ffbb41dfdba33668e2a9:27753

Note: Before closing the issue please give it try because i tried all possibilities and after commented iOS webkit proxy part from your FW, web element started working

Add Device Art for screenshot captured

Need to add listener in testing.xml programmatically, like com.test.ios classes are getting added in testing.xml

Hi Sai, we need to handle multiple failure and for that we have implemented listener extending IInvokedMethodListener interface and implementing afterInvocation method.

so when we run the project thru maven it creates the testng.xml programmatically but it doesn’t add the listener in it

so if it doesn’t add the listener in testng.xml how implemented listner will invoked.

Testing framework issues Null pointer when devices is "offline" from ADB

[Issue] in version 4.0.2 from maven dependency, class 'AndroidDeviceConfiguration' no method "removeApkFromDevices"

Hi Sai,
I updated AppiumTestDistribution from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 in my test project's POM.xml, but after downloaded 4.0.2 jar, get error and message is class AndroidDeviceConfiguration without method removeApkFromDevices.

I checkout AppiumTestDistribution source code from Github and found that method removeApkFromDevices was existed in class AndroidDeviceConfiguration.

could you advise what is the problem?

iPhone 6 device frame not aligned to centre

[Suggestion] Capture the screenshot for every action.

Hi,

It would be helpful to debug If we can capture the screenshot before and after the every action and possibly displaying it in the execution report or we can have the debug report as well.

Json should be rendered in the right format to fetch for debug report

var jsondata = { "device" : [
    {
      "DeviceName": "GoogleNexus6500API211440x2560",
      "Device Model": "generic",
      "Screen Name": "TestMethod1",
      "ImagePath": [

How to distribute all the @Test methods from all classes across all connected devices in parallel ?

I tried to execute @test method thru "parallel" and "distribute" both works the way it was implemented however for distribute instead of distributing per class can we distribute per @test method

Lets say i have 2 class each are having total 6 @test method ( class 1 with 6 @test method and class 2 with 6 @test method) so total 12 @test method are available to execute on lets say 3 connected android devices but i wanna execute all these 12 @test method parallel means if the 1st device took one @test method it should not execute on other connected devices, as soon as device finished executing @test method it should start execute one on pipeline (waiting) and this way all 3 devices continue executing until there is no @test method left to be execute in pipeline (waiting).

Long story short what i want is all the @test methods from all classes to get distributed across connected devices ?

Note : the project i work on we have this requirement to follow, if you can please help Sai, i really appreciated if there is any workaround you can provide me for above.

Thanks

Enhancement : Can you please implement "ExtentX" in framework to track an extentReport from ExtentX dashboard

Hi Sai, There is good feature from Anshoo "ExtentX" if we an utilize that in framework, thru this we can track each extentReport from ExtentX dashboard, it's cool feature to consider.

Parent child relationship is NOT getting maintained when there is a Retry with Test method

Hi Sai, This issue is similar to "#22" (Thank you so much for the enhancement you have made for this issue) but instead of reopening closed issue i have created new one,

i have noticed with Retry it is not grouping in same test method, PFB screenshot in which you can see there are 2 methods among one pass and one failed, failed one has Retry on it "InvalidSearchKeyword" which is not grouping in "InvalidSearchKeyword"

Can you give control to user to turn on/off text file appiumlogs since it is breaking execution

For Windows 8,
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, stat 'C:\Users\Qapitol QA\IdeaProjects\flipkartSampleWithoutPageObjectMaven\target\appiumlogs\0123456789ABCDEF__validLoginTest.txt'
at Error (native)

Can't delete the file manually also even though we have admin access. The only way to delete file is by sign-out from the system and log-in again.

Current file permission are:
-rw-r--r--

suggested solution:

case 1:

while re-executing the same test why not create a separate file with "unique test name + datetime" for logs instead of trying to access same file for overwriting/appending?

case 2: (my preferred suggestion is to add this feature and give control to user)

can you give a control to user via config.properties file variable to either turn on/off the logs based on our wish? If we can turn off the "appiumlogs" then at-least test execution would not be block

Parallel testing support for iOS

hey, thanks for the cool framework.

i just noticed that in AppiumParallelTest class, when the property for "APP_TYPE" is native, it sets a capabilities to android.

Are there any ways to parellely distribute iOS testings also? or do i have to manually set an ios setup like one in your sample?

thanks!

[Suggestion] Add test step in ExtentReports

Dear sir,
Thanks provide such wonderful integration tools and shared it.

In my integration roadmap of Appium, I also use TestNG, ExtentReport, also image tool SikuliX, and YAML to manage the page object (reduce the hard code in test script).

I would like to know, whether you can add test step information into ExtentReports, not just @BeforeClass, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod, @AfterClass message in appium server start and appium quit.

For example, in test, in Login page, click page object Submit button, we can also record the test operation information into ExtentReport, such like:

Click: Login --> [Submit] button

and how to store the description of test operation, maybe we can extend WebElement and add a field to store the description, such like:

ExtWebElement:
  - WebElement
  - Description

any advise?

BTW, how I can get the ExtentTest instance in @Test?

Dont' check for iOS device when running on Windows/Linux

Switching from Native to WebView, test hangs and logcat should not be captured when tests in switched to chromedriver

Hi Sai, After upgrading framework i am seeing an issue in extentReport, PFB screenshot with comment added in. I have added Retry with Test method which is causing below issue, if i remove Retry and run i don't see an issue.

In below list of screenshot you can see extentReport generating as expected but this is without using Retry with Test method. Retry with Test method cause an issue mentioned in above listed screenshot

How to enable Extent reporting

HI Sai,

I was able to run the tests in parallel on two emulators but I donot see any report generated.

Also if I run the tests in distributed mode the tests are running on only one device.Is there any thing I missed.

Thanks,

All test methods under class in report doesn't look good, need something like when you click on test method it expand and collapse

Hi Sai, Can you please make the modification in your framework for the extentReport, rightnow in report when you click on Class name it shows all the Test method in one go (including pass, fail, appium log, failure reason, and screenshot).

In below Screenshot you can see Class which ran on device which has been assigned under the device category as expected and looks good

In below screenshot you can see when you click on class name it shows all the test methods including all the details which doesn't looks good, instead if you can make it like a way when you click on Class name it gives all the Test method and when you click on Test method it expand with result like Logs, screenshot, StackTrace etc.

If it can be change as below which looks neat and clean to the end user.

Thanks

Regarding extentReport in your awesome framework

Hi Sai, extentReport Api has already parent child relationship between test suite and test cases, can you please add this enhancement in your framework like below i have shown in diagram. One of the sample provided by Anshoo (extentReport Dev) which has this parent child relationship. Your framework is really helping out if the report can be improved it will be like your feeding the needy people.

Thanks

testcase retry before deciding it's an application issue

Hi Sai, Can you please add "retry" on test method (max 3 times) before considering it's an actual application issue. What i mean to say is lets say LoginTest has test method "loginWithValidUser()" which started executing and some reason it failed (not due to an application issue) lets say network issue so that's not an application issue in this case it should execute same test "loginWithValidUser()" again, if it pass on 2nd try it should not go for 3rd try but if it fails on 2nd try so 3rd try will be the last one and then it will be consider that even after trying same scenario 3 times it is still failing it means it's an application issue and Dev has to fix it.

Thanks

Remove allocating device with respect to Thread Name

@thotegowda @SrinivasanTarget currently we are retrieving the device UDID from the arraylist w.r.t to the ThreadName, this fails when we have parallel test for iOS as TestNG is just sending the ThreadName as "TestNG"

ios-webkit-proxy not getting killed after test completion

Run both android and iOS tests concurrently

Should be able to run both ios and android tests at the same time in single mac OSX host

Support for Android and iOS native hybrid and android - web

Does this framework have support for Rerunning failed testcases in Cucumber?

Create sample test project for cucumber-jvm parallel run

Screenshots not shown in ExtentReport

There is a bug with the links to the screenshots in the extentreport. The problem is that the timestamp is not concatenated to the screenshot filename. Screenshots are taken and in folder, but the links to them are wrong.
