How to set appium script startup parameters

One 、 Confirm environment

Automated testing involves mobile phones 、 Computers and Appium Multi terminal interaction such as services , Before the official start , First of all, we need to confirm whether the environment is installed correctly ：

• Connect your phone or turn on the simulator
• adb devices Make sure the phone is recognized
• start-up Appium service , And set the port
• function Python Script

If not installed appium Please refer to ：Appium Environment construction nanny level tutorial

Two 、 To write Appium The startup script

Appium It is an automated testing framework that supports multiple platforms , start-up Appium The program needs to provide platformName Parameters , Indicate which operating system's automation engine needs to be used ：

from appium.webdriver import Remote
caps = dict(platformName="Android")
driver = Remote(desired_capabilities=caps)

Open mobile phone , If you need to access specific App, take App The installation package path of is also placed in caps in , If you don't pass app Parameters , The home page of the device is opened by default .

caps = dict(platformName="Android",
			app="/path/iBiliPlayer-bilibili.apk")

It is also possible to connect multiple mobile phones to the computer , If there are multiple phones , You need to specify the mobile device you want to operate , Use udid Parameters , The equipment number can be entered adb devices obtain . Usually , To a certain app Conduct automated tests , These three startup parameters are the most common .

caps = dict(platformName="Android",
			app="/path/iBiliPlayer-bilibili.apk",
			udid='emulator-5554')

When the data is ready , We can go directly to Appium Provided Remote class , Connect the corresponding app. After the operation , adopt quit Method to exit the entire session .

Remember that quit, Otherwise, when locating elements later , There may be an error that the source code of the page cannot be obtained .

from appium.webdriver import Remote

file = '/path/iBiliPlayer-bilibili.apk'

caps = dict(platformName="Android",
			app=file,
			udid='emulator-5554')

driver = Remote(desired_capabilities=caps)
driver.quit()

3、 ... and 、 Start by package name App

Usually ,Appium Can pass apk To directly operate the specified app. But it's inconvenient to get apk file , And our mobile phones have been installed with... To be tested app, So you can go through app The package name to start .

from appium.webdriver import Remote

caps = {
    "platformName": "Android",
    "udid": "emulator-5554",
    "appPackage": "com.bilibili.app.blue",
    "appActivity": "tv.danmaku.bili.ui.splash.SplashActivity"
}

driver = Remote(desired_capabilities=caps)
driver.quit()

Four 、 How to get App Package name and Activity name

You can get the startup directly through the following command app Of appPackage Parameters and appActivity Parameters ,

adb logcat | findStr -i displayed

After typing the command , Click manually to enter app, It can display which pages the phone has recently opened , The most recently opened page will be displayed at the bottom , So we get the required parameters .

Common startup parameters

Appium There are many startup parameters , It can be in the official Desired Capbility View in . Only platformName It is required. , Others are optional .

Common startup parameters ：

• platformName Mandatory
• deviceName / udid Mandatory
• app The installation path
• appActivity and appPackage,
• platformVersion Optional , If the version does not match, an error will be reported
• noReset No reset , True
• automationName
• browserName, Direct measurement web use , Chrome
• autoWebview, Boot into the webview Pattern
• chromedriverExecutable
• chromedriverExecutableDir
• unicodeKeyboard
• resetKeyboard
• autoGrantPermissions

5、 ... and 、 A complete automated script

Through a complete script to illustrate .

1、 Connect the phone , start-up app

2、 Element localization , Perform the operation

3、 Exit procedure

from appium.webdriver import Remote

caps = {
    
    "platformName": "Android",
    "udid": "emulator-5554",
    "appPackage": "com.bilibili.app.blue",
    "appActivity": "tv.danmaku.bili.ui.splash.SplashActivity"
}

driver = Remote(desired_capabilities=caps,
                command_executor = 'http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub')
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.find_element('id', 'com.bilibili.app.blue:id/agree').click()
driver.quit()
