Appium Testing On HyperExecute - WebApp

This page outlines how to execute your Appium tests on HyperExecute for WebApps using TestNG with YAML 0.2

HyperExecute uses YAML 0.2 to perform the tests using Appium.

Running Appium Tests on HyperExecute for WebApp​

Prerequisites​

To run the Tests on HyperExecute from your Local System, you are required:

Download HyperExecute CLI​

The HyperExecute CLI is used for triggering tests on HyperExecute Grid. It is recommend to download the HyperExecute CLI binary on the host system to perform the tests on HyperExecute. The CLI download site for various platforms is displayed below:

PlatformHyperExecute CLI download location
Windowshttps://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/windows/hyperexecute.exe
macOShttps://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/darwin/hyperexecute
Linuxhttps://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/linux/hyperexecute

Setup Environment Variable​

Export the environment variables LT_USERNAME and LT_ACCESS_KEY that are available in the LambdaTest Profile page. Run the below mentioned commands in the terminal to setup the CLI and the environment variables.

For macOS:

export LT_USERNAME=YOUR_LT_USERNAME
export LT_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_LT_ACCESS_KEY

For Linux:

export LT_USERNAME=YOUR_LT_USERNAME
export LT_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_LT_ACCESS_KEY

For Windows:

set LT_USERNAME=YOUR_LT_USERNAME
set LT_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_LT_ACCESS_KEY

Steps to Run Your Test​

Step 1: Write your Automation Script in the client language of your choice from the ones supported by Appium. An automation script for the sample applications have been provided below.

Here is a sample automation script in Java. Ensure to update the username and accesskey in the below code.

package com.lambdatest;

import io.appium.java_client.MobileBy;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class androidWeb {

    String username = System.getenv("LT_USERNAME") == null ? "LT_USERNAME" //Enter the Username here
            : System.getenv("LT_USERNAME");
    String accessKey = System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY") == null ? "LT_ACCESS_KEY"  //Enter the Access key here
            : System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY");
    public static RemoteWebDriver driver = null;
    public String gridURL = "@mobile-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub";
    public String status = "passed";
    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

        capabilities.setCapability("build", "HYP Web RD Demo");
        capabilities.setCapability("name", "Java Android Web Test");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "android");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Galaxy. *,OnePlus. *,Pixel. *"); //Enter the name of the device here
        capabilities.setCapability("isRealMobile", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("region", "eu");
        // capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion","9");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceOrientation", "portrait");
        capabilities.setCapability("console",true);
        capabilities.setCapability("network",true);
        capabilities.setCapability("visual",true);
        try
        {
            driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("https://" + username + ":" + accessKey + gridURL), capabilities);
        }
        catch (MalformedURLException e)
        {
            System.out.println("Invalid grid URL");
        } catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void testSimple() throws Exception
    {
        try
        {
            driver.get("https://lambdatest.github.io/sample-todo-app/");
            driver.findElement(By.name("li1")).click();

        System.out.println("Checking Another Box");
        driver.findElement(By.name("li2")).click();

        System.out.println("Checking Box");
        driver.findElement(By.name("li3")).click();

        System.out.println("Checking Another Box");
        driver.findElement(By.name("li4")).click();

        driver.findElement(By.id("sampletodotext")).sendKeys(" List Item 6");
        driver.findElement(By.id("addbutton")).click();

        driver.findElement(By.id("sampletodotext")).sendKeys(" List Item 7");
        driver.findElement(By.id("addbutton")).click();

        driver.findElement(By.id("sampletodotext")).sendKeys(" List Item 8");
        driver.findElement(By.id("addbutton")).click();

        System.out.println("Checking Another Box");
        driver.findElement(By.name("li1")).click();

        System.out.println("Checking Another Box");
        driver.findElement(By.name("li3")).click();

            status="passed";
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            status="failed";
        }
    }
    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception
    {
        if (driver != null)
        {
            driver.executeScript("lambda-status=" + status);
            driver.quit();
        }
    }

}

Step 2: Execute Your Test Case. Debug and run your code.

Once you have run your tests, you can view the test execution along with logs. You will be able to see the test cases passing or failing. You can view the same at LambdaTest Automation.

Sample YAML 0.2​

version: "0.1"
runson: win

autosplit: true

concurrency: 2

testDiscovery:
    command: cat tests.txt
    mode: static
    type: raw

testRunnerCommand: mvn test -P $test

framework:
    name: appium

The region parameter specifies the region or location where the Appium tests will be executed. Our platform supports the following three regions:

  • ap (Asia-Pacific)
  • us (United States)
  • eu (European Union)

More About Desired Capabilities​

Sample Capabilities for both android and iOS web app mentioned below -

{
    "deviceName": "Galaxy Tab S4",
    "platformName": "android",
    "platformVersion": "10",
    "visual": True,
    "console": True,
    "deviceOrientation": "PORTRAIT",
    "build": "new-12",
    "isRealMobile": True,
}

Refer to the Automation Capabilities Generator to understand more about it.

Every test run on the HyperExecute Grid has a unique jobId associated with it. Each jobId can in turn constitute single (or multiple) groupId(s). You can visit HyperExecute automation dashboard for checking the status of the test execution.

The snapshot below shows how to navigate to the respective testID for viewing the Selenium logs:

Conclusion​

By following the instructions in this documentation, you can seamlessly execute the Appium tests on HyperExecute for WebApps, leveraging its secure cloud infrastructure, advanced features, and optimized test execution workflow.
