One, the installation of appium_python_client

Recommended PIP Installation

Pip Install Appium-python-client

Of course, you can also download the source code installed on the PIPY

TAR-XVF appium-python-client-x.x.tar.gz (7zip can be decompressed on Windows)

CD appium-python-client-x.x

Python setup.py Install

Finally, it can also be installed via GitHub (to git client)

git clone [email protected]:appium/python-client.git

CD python-client

Python setup.py Install

Second, Appium_python_client introduction

Appium's practical methods are hidden in the client's source code, for driver and webelement instances, there is a corresponding element lookup method (Webelement look for the following sub-element), some children specifically for the function of the cell phone, You need to use this client after installation.

(The following is transferred from: http://testerhome.com/topics/1166)

Appium in order to implement its own Find method, the first custom of a Mobileby class, the class object is plugged into its definition of some of the extended properties, the values of these properties will be pushed to the server side by Webdriver protocol to identify and execute, In order for these attributes to be applied to the Find method, Appium well inherits and extends the Webdriver. Remote, and then implements the element lookup by invoking the driver instance's find_element and find_elements two core methods, so, since it is an extension, The Appiumdriver instance can use all of the Seleniumdriver's instance methods for element lookups, and their list can be sorted out.

Third, the use of appium_python_client

Once the installation is complete, you can use it for reference. We usually refer to Webdriver by using the following command:

From selenium import Webdriver

But we're going to use the functions in appium_python_client, and we're going to change to the following reference method:

From Appium import Webdriver

Then initialize the driver in the setup () function as follows:

Self.driver=webdriver. Remote (' Http://localhost:4723/wd/hub ', desired_caps)

You can call Appium's Special Method!!
