Running Selenium Test on Android OS through Appium

Question

I'm trying to run my selenium test on android emulator but this is not working properly. I write my code in java using eclipse and the setup is as follows 1. selenium-server-standalone-jar.2.44.0 2. testng-6.8.jar 3. appium 1.3.4.1 and these are the capabilities I'm sending to Appium

@BeforeMethod()
public void setUp() throws Exception {

    //Appium needs the path of app build
    //Set up the desired capabilities and pass the iOS SDK version and app path to Appium
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

    File appDir = new File("C:/Appium");
    File app = new File(appDir, "android-server-2.38.0.apk");        
    capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
    capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "Appium");       
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Nexus_5");
    capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "Firefox");

    driver = new SelendroidDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

This is the output I usually get from Eclipse

FAILED CONFIGURATION: @AfterMethod tearDown
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Not yet implemented. Please help us: http://appium.io/get-involved.html (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

This is the output I usually get from Appium

And after all this I get a blank screen on the emulator saying "WebDriver Ready" and that's it, it doesn't open a browser or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I know this question is very old. But find a sample working template for Android functional testing framework using Appium here , which is in Java and starts Appium server from within the code. Means, you don't have to start Appium app each time before running these tests and also it can be easily integrated to CI servers.

Answer 2

My suggestion before writing any code, try manually first, so when You got all up and running than its really easy to pour into code.

Please check following requirements:

• on server part (Appium)
• is launch activity true,
• is simulator name correct,
• is API level same as simulator,

on code side (java, pyhton, c#...):

• check if all data provided in server is being "injected" in desired capabilities
