Minimal setup to test AWS Device Farm

Minimal Pytest Appium setup

Running the tests on local device

This is written for Windows

1. Virtual environment

This is to create a project specific environment and make sure we don't get any unwanted global dependencies.

Create the virtual environment in the .virtualenv folder (only has to be done once);

virtualenv .virtualenv

Activate the virtual environment;

.virtualenv/bin/activate

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

npm install -g appium

3. Build Cordova app

cordova build android

4. Update script with device details

In tests/test_app.py theres a section which has to be updated with the details on the device you're using;

'platformName' : 'Android',
'platformVersion' : '6.0',
'deviceName' : 'Android',
'autoWebview': 'true',
'udid' : '0a30789d',

The udid can be found running adb devices.

5. Run tests

• Start the appium server appium.
• Run tests py.test tests.

Run on AWS Device Farm

Comment out the device details in tests/test_app.py first, otherwise it won't work.

Then follow this guide; https://docs.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/latest/developerguide/test-types-android-appium-python.html

IMPORTANT:

AWS Device Farm does not support any dependencies with native C extensions. MarkupSafe, which is included in pytest-bdd, has that so replace the MarkupSafe .whl-file in wheelhouse folder with the following;
