Connecting appium server to selenium grid for android

@Hassan_Radi,

i was able to see that mobile device got registered as node to grid and the same showed up in grid console. But the problem is when i tried to execute the script it failed saying that appium could not be started at 4723. in my code i am launching the appium server and then actions are performed on the device. I think there is a problem as node is already launched at the same port as per the nodeconfig.json.

Hi All,

Any one has any breakthrough on this? Any suggestions?

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

I am trying to run two scripts on different mobile(Nexus and Samsung).

I have 2 nodeconfig.json files each having the config of devices. I am starting 2 appium servers with different node config specified in general settings. When i check the grid console i see that both the devices are appearing as Node.

In testng.xml i have specified different tests. When they are executed sequentially all the scripts are executed on a single mobile even though desired capabilities mentioned in the test script are different.

I am currently using :
appium: 1.2.0.0
OS windows
Android devices: Nexus and Samsung
Device OS: 5.0 and 4.3

Please let me know if i am missing any thing which is making the script to run on same device even though the desired capabilities mentioned are different in each test script.

I have attached the test scripts and testng.xml info.txt172 (7.3 KB) for reference. Any help would be appriciated.

@Hassan_Radi, @Arvind_Patel,

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks and regards,

Hi @Arvind_Patel,

I tried below mentioned steps:

1)Launch grid at localhost:4444
2)Launch appium with nodeConfig.json and start it i.e. appium started at 127.0.0.1:4723
3)Launch appium with nodeConfig1.json and start it i.e. appium started at 127.0.0.1:4728

Prepare testng.xml as shown below:

suite name="Suite" parallel="tests" thread-count="5" verbose="1"
test name="Test1"
parameter name="Device_ID" value="085d3b920c928938"
classes
class name="Test.ZoomPinch"
classes
test
test name="Test2"
parameter name="Device_ID" value="4df70d325d884031"
classes
class name="Test.Calculator"
classes
test
suite

Have beforemethod parametarized:

@Parameters ("Device_ID")
@BeforeMethod
public void setUp(String device)throws MalformedURLException {
System.out.println(device);
switch(device)
{
case "4df70d325d884031":
capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
//capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Android");
//capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Default");
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "4.3");
capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "chrome");
//capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "m0");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
//capabilities.setCapability(capabilityName, value)
//capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.google.android.apps.maps");
//capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
break;
default: System.out.println("no mob exists...");
break;
}
//driver= new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap); // (you can get it from
// apk info app)

                    driver   = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
}

@Parameters("Device_ID")
@BeforeMethod
public void setup(String device)throws Exception
{
switch(device)
{
case "085d3b920c928938":
capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
//capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
//capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "Chrome");
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "5.0");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "hammerhead");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.davemorrissey.labs.subscaleview.sample");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.davemorrissey.labs.subscaleview.sample.MainActivity");
break;
default:System.out.println("no mob...exists");
break;
}
driver= new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

      //driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
}

When executed, out of 2 tests 1 of them fail...
when only Test2 is executed, even though device id is mentioned it is getting executed on another device.

Please suggest what needs to be done...

Thanks and regards,
M.Karthik

@rgonalo sorry...my mistake..thank you for correcting me... will try this and verify..

@rgonalo @Arvind_Patel ,

i tried again it didnt work. Everything will execute in a single device i.e nexus 5 irrespective of parallel or sequential

Below are the test cases,testng.xml and config files:

public class Calculator {

DesiredCapabilities capabilities;
  AppiumDriver driver;

@Parameters ("Device_ID")

public void setUp(String device)throws MalformedURLException {

                 			//capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Default");
                 			capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "4.3");
                 			capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "chrome");
