Configuring the Appium+android Automated test environment on Mac OSX

Prerequisite Preparation

Before you start the text, you need to prepare some basic conditions:

1. devices that have Mac OS OS installed
2. A way to access resources outside of China's local area network (no, but painful)
3. The homebrew has been installed.
4. The python3.x has been installed.
5. Java Runtime environment is already installed.

Install Android STUDIO/SDK

The main purpose of this article is to test the Android app, so here we need to install Android studio or the Android SDK.

• Android Studio-Complete development and testing tools that require ladders
• Android SDK-enough to complete automated tests, install via homebrew

If it's just for automated testing I recommend installing the SDK enough, using the brew command.

brew install android-sdk

In the domestic use of brew can be configured in advance domestic sources, the speed will be much faster.

If there is a ladder recommended to choose Android Studio, the installation method is very simple, the official website after the download of the next, the launch will let you put the SDK and so a series of dependencies are installed, one step.

The actual Android studio is better, one step, can be installed in the SDK, etc., the Android Studio installation process will appear after the proxy error, click Cancel here, then installed, open, in the SDK manager set up the agent

The Android SDK updates the mirror server resources online:

Dalian Neusoft Institute of Information Mirror server address:
-http://mirrors.neusoft.edu.cn Port: 80
Beijing University mirror server address:
-ipv4:http://ubuntu.buct.edu.cn/Port: 80
-ipv4:http://ubuntu.buct.cn/Port: 80
-ipv6:http://ubuntu.buct6.edu.cn/Port: 80
Shanghai GDG Mirror server address:
-Http://sdk.gdgshanghai.com Port: 8000

The first one to be useful

Prepare an Android emulator or use a real machine

If the SDK is already installed, you should be able to use the ADB command to check the available emulators or the physical phone that is already connected to your computer.

adb devices

If you don't know where the ADB tool is, you can search through find at the command line first.

find /Users -name adb  # 搜索用户目录find / -name adb  # 搜索全盘

After you find it, you can add the ADB directory to the path for later use.

Installing Appium

Appium can be installed in a variety of ways.

Method One: Install with NodeJS

First install the Nodejs via brew:

brew install node

Configure a domestic source, create a new. npmrc file in the personal directory, write:

registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org/

To start installing Appium:

install -g appiumnpm install -g appium-doctor

Appium-doctor can help you diagnose the test environment and recommend installation.

Mode II: Download Appium Desktop installation

The official Appium Desktop installation package can be downloaded from GitHub and requires a ladder.

• Https://github.com/appium/app ...

Download the DMG file to double-click Mount, drag the Appium into the application to complete the installation.

Installing Appium-client

This article only discusses the Python implementation of the Appium test, so you only need to allow the following commands:

pip install Appium-Python-Client

If you already have Appium-doctor installed, you can just run the Appium-doctor command to know which environment variables you need to set.

In fact you don't necessarily have to pass all the checks, if only to complete the Android Appium test, just make sure that android_home and Java_home are properly configured, and that the SDK tools and platform tools are basically completed by joining path. You can refer to the. Bash_profile settings in my personal directory:

Export Android_home=~/library/android/sdk/export java_home=/library/java/javavirtualmachines/jdk1.8.0_112.jdk/ Contents/homeexport path=~/bin: $PATH:/usr/local/bin: $ANDROID _home/platform-tools/: $JAVA _home/bin

　　

Start writing automated Tests

From appium Import webdriverdesired_caps = {}desired_caps[' platformname '] = ' Android ' desired_caps[' platformversion '] = ' 7.1.1 ' desired_caps[' devicename '] = ' Android Emulator ' desired_caps[' apppackage '] = ' Com.android.dialer ' desired_caps [' appactivity '] = ' dialtactsactivity ' driver = webdriver.
