Appium 1.4.13 Released

I am running in simulator though i tried that command but showing as No such file or directory error.

ravis-MacBook-Pro:~ monocept$ ./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js -c xxxxyouruuidnumberxxx:27753 -d
-bash: ./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js: No such file or directory
ravis-MacBook-Pro:~ monocept$

Im able to run my script in iPod device with ios 8.4, only prob with Simulator.

The simulator doesn't need the iso-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher then only the real device does.
I am also stuck on the simulator issue. I'm staying up late trying to figure it out. My iPhone real device works too, but just not the simulator. Sorry I'm stuck too.

I get this error.
A new session could not be created. (Original error: Failed getting devices. Err: Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/instruments' -s devices

Oh! U too stucked with the simulator issue. Might be this is the Appium 1.4.13 issue with ios 9.0 in simulators then ....

I understand they are aware of the release. However, it has been nearly two months since the last release and they have not commented on your request with a release timeline. So I had hoped that you, a member of the Appium Team, could ask them if they were planning on releasing a new version of the .app. That was clearly unrealistic, so I will comment on the github request.

Hello, I'm having a problem using the GUI app of Appium, when i start the server I get the following error:

Happy Monday! You can finally download a .DMG for the 1.4.13 Mac app directly from the download page. http://appium.io/29

Note that autoupdate is not setup to fetch the new version at the time I write this. You should download and install manually from the webpage.

Awwwww, got too excited. It throws an unrecoverable error "uncaughtException: Cannot find module 'appium-instruments'" and won't run. https://github.com/appium/appium-dot-app/issues/51060

I follwed these instructions
http://www.6020peaks.com/2016/02/mobile-automation-testing-for-android-with-appium/4

At this point, I am getting error message :

There is no reset.sh file in appium.. What am i supposed to do now ?? How can i install Appium ??

+1 on this issue. reset.sh seems to be missing from Github right now...

https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/reset.sh4

@Karthik_Uppoor, @kim-klask

I think the dependencies of Appium have been moved out of the project into individual NPM packages. If I understood the project correctly, the reset.sh script was for ensuring Appium's dependencies were present.

To set up Appium's dependencies now, you can run "npm install" inside Appium's project directory now. NPM should read the package.json file and install the dependencies from there.

Thank you @afwang ..
I hope it works on Ubuntu 14.04..

Appium works on a client-server model. Appium acts as the server, and your test cases behave as the client. If you have ever used Selenium hub before, launching a test with Appium is closely similar.

Without using a specific language, the basic steps you want to take to start a test with Appium are:

1. Instantiate an Appium driver using the "http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub" URL. If Appium is running remotely, you would use "http://(IP address of Appium's machine):(port Appium server is listening on)/wd/hub"
2. Use the various WebDriver API commands to interact with the device.
3. End the driver session.

A quick example in Java:

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("platform", "Android");
caps.setCapability("deviceName", "Android");
caps.setCapability("app", "/path/to/apk");
AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver = new AppiumDriver<>(new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"), caps);
//Find a TextView element on the screen
MobileElement text = driver.findElement(By.className("android.widget.TextView"));
System.out.println("TextView's text is: "+ text.getText());
//Click the text view
text.click();
//driver.tap(1, text, 1); would work as well
driver.quit(); // End the session

Do we get GUI part of Appium, like below image in linux (ubuntu 14.04) ??

ios_gui_setting.png856x586 272 KB

if yes, then how ??

No, the GUI version is not available for Linux systems. For my Linux systems, I install Appium using NPM, or I run it from source.

Hello @afwang
Thanks a lot for helping me in setting up Appium..

I am running this python code:

desired_caps['platformVersion'] = '4.4.2'
desired_caps['deviceName'] = 'karthikphone1'
# Returns abs path relative to this file and not cwd
desired_caps['app'] = '/home/karthik/appiumworkspace/tests/uk.co.aifactory.chessfree.apk'
desired_caps['appPackage'] = 'uk.co.aifactory.chessfree'
desired_caps['appActivity'] = '.ChessFreeActivity'
self.driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps)

def test_single_player_mode1(self):
    "Test the Single Player mode launches correctly"
    element = self.driver.find_element_by_name("PLAY!")
    element.click()
    self.driver.find_element_by_name("Continue...").click()
self.driver.find_element_by_name("Single Player").click()

def tearDown(self):
    "Tear down the test"
    self.driver.quit()

It first successfully clicks on "PLAY!" button, and in the next page it was supposed to click on "Continue..." button.
Am not able to understand, why its giving me error message..!!! (An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters.)
While Button named "Continue..." is actually present in the app..
Is it trying to find button in the first page itself ??
Help me again..
