Connecting appium server to selenium grid for android

Hassan_Radi · Feb '15

I tried your file and it worked fine from my side. I can confirm that it is neither a problem with Appium nor with your configurations.

For some unknown reason your keyboard might be inserting the wrong characters, so please download the following file node.txt133), change the extension from .txt to .json (as the website here forbids uploading .json files) and try again.

Also to make sure that there is no syntax error with your json file, you can use the following website: http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/39

@bhaskar
you can try to put your config file path into quotes like:> appium --nodeconfig "d:\your_path\file_name.json"

@bhaskar

Thanks i have done it

are you using parallel execution in testng or junit ?

without these two how can i achieve parallel test execution for android devices?

Hi @nirmal_kumar

I'm using TestNG for parallel execution.

Hi All,

I have created a simple way to run appium script on multiple android devices simultaneously.
You don't have to bother about how many devices are connected. how many appium server to start, it take cares all of it.

Just need to some installation process and extends one class.
I am still working on it.

Nice work @sameer49 , starting the Appium server based on the connected device indeed a great approach and reduces the effort to start grid execution.

Hi All,
@Hassan_Radi ,@Srikanth_Katakam,@karthik_holla,@Appium_Master
Is it possible to have Appium running on a remote machine and devices also connected in a same remote machine, and run the test script from the local machine?

Appium_Master · Apr '15

yes thats possible. Only you need give remote mache ip address on appium server details

Appium_Master · Apr '15

Machine A IP:- 192.168.2.3
Run appium server on machine A.

Machine B :- Where your scripts are kept.
machine B should be able to ping and accessable machine A.
Run the script like below with providing Machine A IP Address.

public class AppiumExampleTest { private WebDriver driver = null; @Before public void setup() { File appDir = new File("..//TestedAndroidApp//bin//"); File app = new File(appDir, "TestedAndroidApp.apk"); DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, ""); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "4.2"); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "WINDOWS"); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityConstants.DEVICE, "android"); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityConstants.APP_PACKAGE, "com.example.android"); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityConstants.APP_ACTIVITY, "MainActivity"); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityConstants.APP, app.getAbsolutePath()); try { driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.2.3:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(80, TimeUnit.SECONDS); } @Test public void appiumExampleTest() throws Exception { // find button with label or content-description "Button 1" WebElement button=driver.findElement(By.name("Button 1")); // click on button and start second Activity button.click(); // we are on second screen now // check if second screen contains TextView with text “Activity2” driver.findElement("Activity2"); // click back button HashMap keycode = new HashMap(); keycode.put("keycode", 4); ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("mobile: keyevent", keycode); // we are again in main activity driver.findElement(By.name("Button1")); } @After public void tearDown() { if (driver != null) { driver.quit(); } } }
