Appium Device Farm Python Example

This repository gives you a simple python example of using Appium and Device Farm together for testing web apps.

I found out that web app sample in official example on aws-samples just simply doesn't work.

So I did a bit of a research, and finally made it work.

It seems like AWS sample project is targeting Python 2.

In order to use Python 3, You need to select custom text environment.

And also when you're making a zip file, generating wheelhouse archive is no longer required.

It's mentioned in aws documentation

Getting Started

Make sure you have Python 3 and node.js installed first.

Then activate virtualenv and install dependencies.

cd appium-device-farm-example

# create virtualenv
python3 -m venv venv

# active virtualenv
source venv/bin/activate

# install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# you also need to install appium
npm install -g appium

# run appium server
# use another terminal for this
appium

# use local environment capabilities -> checkout `setUp` method of test file
# run test
python3 -m unittest

Deploy

Run build.sh and upload test_bundle.zip file in aws device farm web console following instructions here.

# make it executable
chmod +x build.sh

# generate zip file
./build.sh

Make sure you have selected custom environment and changed python version to 3.

phases:
  install:
    commands:
      - export PYTHON_VERSION=3
      # ...
      - export APPIUM_VERSION=1.14.2
      # ...

Trouble Shotting

Wheel files are alwayes generated with platforms other than 'linux-x86-64'

You no longer need to generate wheelfiles if you're targeting Python 3.

Wheel files are platform specific. So you need to make it universal (none-any).

There are several ways to do this but the fastest way is to create setup.cfg file in your project's root directory.

[bdist_wheel]
universal = 1

If you still have platform specific wheel files then simiply renaming it to none-any will work.

Appium not waiting for keypress

You can checkout wait_for_input_text function inside tests/test_example.py.

It uses selenium's explicit wait (WebDriverWait) to wait until a text field has specific text value.

Test runs are always empty! (Ran 0 tests in 0.000s)

In python, name of every test case should start with test otherwise unittest will skip that.

Make sure you have named your test cases following the convention.
