Appium Python Client: Python Language Bindings for Appium

Appium Python Client

An extension library for adding WebDriver Protocol and Appium commands to the Selenium Python language binding for use with the mobile testing framework Appium.

Notice

Since v1.0.0, only Python 3.7+ is supported.

Since v2.0.0, the base selenium client version is v4. The version only works in W3C WebDriver protocol format. If you would like to use the old protocol (MJSONWP), please use v1 Appium Python client.

Quick migration guide from v1 to v2

• Enhancement
  • Updated base Selenium Python binding version to v4
    • Removed forceMjsonwp since Selenium v4 and Appium Python client v2 expect only W3C WebDriver protocol
  • Methods ActionHelpers#scroll, ActionHelpers#drag_and_drop, ActionHelpers#tap, ActionHelpers#swipe and ActionHelpers#flick now call W3C actions as its backend
    • Please check each behavior. Their behaviors could slightly differ.
  • Added strict_ssl to relax SSL error such as self-signed ones
• Deprecated
  • MultiAction and TouchAction are deprecated. Please use W3C WebDriver actions.
    • e.g.
      • appium/webdriver/extensions/action_helpers.py
      • https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/support_packages/mouse_and_keyboard_actions_in_detail/
      • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAJ7jwMNFVU
      • https://appiumpro.com/editions/30-ios-specific-touch-action-methods
      • https://appiumpro.com/editions/29-automating-complex-gestures-with-the-w3c-actions-api
  • launch_app, close_app and reset are deprecated. Please read issues#15807 for more details

MultiAction/TouchAction to W3C actions

On UIA2, some elements can be handled with touch pointer action insead of the default mouse pointer action in the Selenium Python cleint. For example, the below action builder is to replace the default one with the touch pointer action.

from selenium.webdriver.common.actions import interaction
from selenium.webdriver.common.actions.action_builder import ActionBuilder

actions = ActionChains(driver)
# override as 'touch' pointer action
actions.w3c_actions = ActionBuilder(driver, mouse=PointerInput(interaction.POINTER_TOUCH, "touch"))
actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.move_to_location(start_x, start_y)
actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.pointer_down()
actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.pause(2)
actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.move_to_location(end_x, end_y)
actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.release()
actions.perform()

Getting the Appium Python client

There are three ways to install and use the Appium Python client.

1. Install from PyPi, as 'Appium-Python-Client'.

pip install Appium-Python-Client

You can see the history from here

2.    Install from source, via PyPi. From 'Appium-Python-Client', download and unarchive the source tarball (Appium-Python-Client-X.X.tar.gz).

tar -xvf Appium-Python-Client-X.X.tar.gz
cd Appium-Python-Client-X.X
python setup.py install

3.    Install from source via GitHub.

git clone git@github.com:appium/python-client.git
cd python-client
python setup.py install

Usage

The Appium Python Client is fully compliant with the WebDriver Protocol including several helpers to make mobile testing in Python easier.

To use the new functionality now, and to use the superset of functions, instead of including the Selenium webdriver module in your test code, use that from Appium instead.

from appium import webdriver

From there much of your test code will work with no change.

As a base for the following code examples, the following sets up the UnitTest environment:

# Android environment
import unittest
from appium import webdriver
from appium.webdriver.common.appiumby import AppiumBy

desired_caps = dict(
    platformName='Android',
    platformVersion='10',
    automationName='uiautomator2',
    deviceName='Android Emulator',
    app=PATH('../../../apps/selendroid-test-app.apk')
)
self.driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps)
el = self.driver.find_element(by=AppiumBy.ACCESSIBILITY_ID, value='item')
el.click()

# iOS environment
import unittest
from appium import webdriver
from appium.webdriver.common.appiumby import AppiumBy

desired_caps = dict(
    platformName='iOS',
    platformVersion='13.4',
    automationName='xcuitest',
    deviceName='iPhone Simulator',
    app=PATH('../../apps/UICatalog.app.zip')
)

self.driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps)
el = self.driver.find_element(by=AppiumBy.ACCESSIBILITY_ID, value='item')
el.click()

Direct Connect URLs

If your Selenium/Appium server decorates the new session capabilities response with the following keys:

• directConnectProtocol
• directConnectHost
• directConnectPort
• directConnectPath

Then python client will switch its endpoint to the one specified by the values of those keys.

import unittest
from appium import webdriver

desired_caps = dict(
    platformName='iOS',
    platformVersion='13.4',
    automationName='xcuitest',
    deviceName='iPhone Simulator',
    app=PATH('../../apps/UICatalog.app.zip')
)

self.driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps, direct_connection=True)

Relax SSL validation

strict_ssl option allows you to send commands to an invalid certificate host like a self-signed one.

import unittest
from appium import webdriver

desired_caps = dict(
    platformName='iOS',
    platformVersion='13.4',
    automationName='xcuitest',
    deviceName='iPhone Simulator',
    app=PATH('../../apps/UICatalog.app.zip')
)

self.driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps, strict_ssl=False)

Documentation

• https://appium.github.io/python-client-sphinx/ is detailed documentation
• functional tests also may help to see concrete examples.

• Docstring style: Google Style
• gitchangelog generates CHANGELOG.rst

Setup

• pip install --user pipenv
• python -m pipenv lock --clear
  • If you experience Locking Failed! unknown locale: UTF-8 error, then refer pypa/pipenv#187 to solve it.
• python -m pipenv install --dev --system
• pre-commit install

Deep Dive into Appium for Flutter App

Flutter is an open source toolkit by Google that helps developers, designers, and product managers speed up app development and create high-end user experiences. Despite its advanced capabilities and support, Flutter has its own testing libraries, but it usually requires a debug build. Appium helps to run tests against both a debug build via appium-flutter-driver and a release build with appium-uiautomator2-driver or appium-xcuitest-driver.

In this webinar, you’ll learn more about the Flutter driver, how to install and use the Appium Flutter driver and Appium uiautomator2, and alternatives to the Flutter driver. This webinar focuses on automation for Android, but you’ll learn a few tips for iOS as well.

How to Test React Native Mobile Applications with Appium

Appium is an automated testing tool for native, hybrid, and mobile web applications, Learn how to test React Native mobile apps with it here.

When it comes to building apps, software testing is critical. According to a recent report by the Consortium for Information and Software Quality, poor software quality cost organizations across all U.S. sectors over $2.08 trillion in 2020.

As a software developer, building a solid, well-tested application will set you apart from the crowd by improving user — and developer — satisfaction.

So, let’s learn how to test React Native mobile applications with Appium.

Prerequisites

• You should have Node.js installed
• A basic knowledge of mobile app development with React Native will be helpful

What is Appium?

Appium is a cross-platform automated testing tool for native, hybrid, and mobile web applications. It supports iOS, Android, and Windows UI testing.

#appium #react-native #testing #mobile-apps

The Beginner's Guide to Appium Android and iOS Mobile Apps Testing: Part 1

Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS devices, Android devices, and Windows desktop platforms. It also supports automation tests on physical devices as well as an emulator or simulator both.

Native apps are those kinds of applications that are written using the iOS, Android, or Windows SDKs.

Mobile web apps can be accessed using a mobile browser (Appium supports Safari on iOS devices and Chrome or the built-in ‘Browser’ app on Android devices).

Hybrid apps use a wrapper around a ‘webview’ — a native control that enables interaction with web content.

It offers cross-platform applications testing, i.e., one single API works for Android and iOS platform test scripts.
