Demo filesystem driver for Appium (not for real use)

appium-fs-driver

Demo filesystem driver for Appium (not for real use). No, I'm serious, this is only a toy for learning purposes and is basically a backdoor to your file system, so don't ever run it for real. The primary context for its development was for use in a live coding workshop meant to teach how to build drivers for Appium 2.x.

Build a driver workshop

To see how this driver was built in stages, you can compare the diff between each branch that was created during development:

• Stage 1: Scaffold the project with all the appropriate tools
• Stage 2: Get an empty Appium 2.x compatible driver building and running
• Stage 3: Implement the getPageSource command
• Stage 4: Implement the element finding commands
• Stage 5: Implement the getText command for file elements
• Stage 6: Implement set and clear methods for elements
• Stage 7: Implement a custom 'executeScript override' method for deleting files
• Stage 8: Require the use of a CLI argument to 'chroot' the use of this driver

And then of course you can diff that against main to see if any development has happened since!
