AppiumDriverLocalService dosent spawn on MultiThreading

Question

AppiumDriverLocalService dosent spawn on MultiThreading

saikrishna321 opened this issue 9 years ago · comments

@TikhomirovSergey i was trying to execute the appium android test in parallel where i wanted to start the appium-server programmatically for every thread.

TestNG by default provides a way were u can run methods in parallel and set the thread-count. When i trigger the appium server with AppiumLocalSerive it always hooks to a single thread.

When i start the appium server as we do from command line it works fine. I have a sample project to reproduce it.

https://github.com/saikrishna321/TestNGParallelThreads

When i set the ParallelMode.CLASSES i see the the appium server and the application launched on two thread(two devices) as expected. Please check the gist for logs

https://gist.github.com/saikrishna321/8a2e49ccc080a3faf014

When i set the ParallelMode.METHODS i dont see the methods executing in parallel, check the gist for logs and also i noticed the AfterClass for one of the has not completed, i see the process still running

@saikrishna321 Thank you for the detailed report. I'll run into this problem as soon as possible.

@TikhomirovSergey More info: i'm running my test with TestNG framework and below the testng.xml used to trigger the tests

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

@TikhomirovSergey any updates in this.. i have updated the repo link .. all that i'm trying to do is just trigger appium server session as per the testng.xml

Sergey Tikhomirov · Answer 4 · Mon Jan 04 2016 21:39:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@saikrishna321
I'm working on .Net client, today or tomorrow going to finish this work.

The main idea is that it is not a bug (however, who knows :) ). AppiumDriverLocalService was designed as thread safe feature...

Sai Krishna · Answer 5 · Tue Jan 05 2016 14:04:51 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey hey thanks a lot for getting back..

Looking forward for you take a look at this .

Sergey Tikhomirov · Answer 6 · Wed Jan 06 2016 23:51:23 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

There is a progress. Now I'm suspecting a bug!

Sai Krishna · Answer 7 · Wed Jan 06 2016 23:52:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey Great 👍 waiting to hear from you

Sergey Tikhomirov · Answer 8 · Thu Jan 07 2016 18:04:58 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Well. There are problems

First of all your samle code has some issues. I'm doubting that it was able to be run in multi-threads. Here is my improvement:

saikrishna321/TestNGParallelThreads#1

You can take a look at this. It is not necessary to merge this PR :)

Also there are problems on Java client side. It is possible to hang AppiumDriverLocalService in multiple threads. I've fixed it and I've got an improved build locally. The PR with this fix is coming soon.

Also ... even the Selenium Java client has an issue. :) It is reproduced on Windows 7/8. I've tried to run your code with ChromeDriverService and the result is the same. This bug can be avoided on the Appium Java client side.

Sai Krishna · Answer 9 · Thu Jan 07 2016 18:41:42 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey That's awesome ... I already have a project running AppiumDriverLocalService on multiple thread at class level parallelization it works .. but i have noticed that sometimes the app just opens n closes .. not sure why..

Looking for the PR with latest version.

Here is the repo:
https://github.com/saikrishna321/AppiumTestDistribution

Thoughts ?

Sergey Tikhomirov · Answer 10 · Thu Jan 07 2016 18:55:34 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@saikrishna321 I've ideas for now. Please open one more issue. I think it is the another problem and it is not related to this. ... And provide deatails as many as you can :).

But the new PR will be proposed very soon (this issue fix).

Sai Krishna · Answer 11 · Thu Jan 07 2016 18:59:00 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey sure i'm gonna do that.. i'm keeping this issue open until the new PR is out ..

Sai Krishna · Answer 12 · Fri Jan 15 2016 09:25:17 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey when will the 4.0.0 be released ?

Sergey Tikhomirov · Answer 13 · Fri Jan 15 2016 20:44:50 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I don't know. Maybe with #214. I'm working on it.

Sai Krishna · Answer 14 · Sat Jan 16 2016 11:14:44 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Oh okie ... How do I build the jar locally so that I can test the fix of multi threading or can you push a SNAPSHOT ?

Sergey Tikhomirov · Answer 15 · Sun Jan 17 2016 19:46:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I can't. May be @Jonahss can push a SNAPSHOT.
You can run
mvn clean
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
at the directory of your java-client clone. You build will be failed because of gpg. However desired jars should be build and then you can place them at your local repository. Or... you can configure gpg on your computer.

Sai Krishna · Answer 16 · Sun Jan 17 2016 20:03:19 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Jonahss is it possible to push a SNAPSHOT it will be helpfull.
@TikhomirovSergey i get the below error when trying to build with the command provided and What is gpg ?

@saikrishna321 No.
It's probably your maven. It couldn't generate javadoc. It is weird. Which maven biuld do you use?
I use v3.2.1 usually on Windows. May be it is another issue. If you can reproduce it with >v3.2.1 please report it. I'll improve javadoc markdown.

Sai Krishna · Answer 18 · Mon Jan 18 2016 00:41:27 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey i use version 3.3.3,details below

Apache Maven 3.3.3 (7994120775791599e205a5524ec3e0dfe41d4a06; 2015-04-22T17:27:37+05:30)
Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.3.3/libexec
Java version: 1.8.0_51, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.10.4", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

Should i raise a defect for this ?

Sergey Tikhomirov · Answer 19 · Mon Jan 18 2016 01:02:46 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

If the error is the same

elf-closing element not allowed
[ERROR] * Show timestamps in console output

[ERROR] ^

please open a new one.

Sai Krishna · Answer 20 · Mon Jan 18 2016 13:34:59 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey i have raised an issue for above comment #294

FYI, i was able to get the dependency from jitpack

https://jitpack.io/#appium/java-client/881294d978

Sai Krishna · Answer 21 · Mon Jan 18 2016 18:28:27 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey i merged your changes to the sampletest repo

https://github.com/saikrishna321/TestNGParallelThreads/

I'm still unable to run the methods in parallel when the AndroidDriver is added. I see same device UDID is picked on two sessions. Take a look at the log below

https://gist.github.com/saikrishna321/79d220e0724f6a334276

To reproduce

Connect two devices/genymotion
Replace the device UDID in this line
https://github.com/saikrishna321/TestNGParallelThreads/blob/master/src/test/java/com/test/classes/BaseTestServer.java#L7
Run the testng.xml

Sai Krishna · Answer 22 · Wed Jan 20 2016 14:13:01 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey did u get chance to take a look at this ?

Sergey Tikhomirov · Answer 23 · Wed Jan 20 2016 16:23:01 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I think it is not the problem of a service and it is the problem of your code. It looks like you are trying to to start two sessions on the same service. Appium service doesn't support multisession mode till v2.0.

https://github.com/saikrishna321/TestNGParallelThreads/blob/master/src/test/java/com/test/classes/AppiumServer.java#L43.

I told you that it is not necessary to merge my PRs. They were made only for demonstration.

So now it is possible to use one service instance per driver.

Sai Krishna · Answer 24 · Wed Jan 20 2016 18:03:07 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey thanks for looking into it 👍

If i start two threads and start AppiumLocalService on individual threads with different port numbers should the appium server be started ?

Sai Krishna · Answer 25 · Wed Feb 24 2016 00:27:02 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@TikhomirovSergey you had mentioned above that Appium service doesn't support multisession mode till v2.0, is this on the server end. I heard appium v1.5 would support multiple server session in single node instance. Can you please point out the implementation, if done ?
