test fails to run on the simulator
Closed this issue · 9 comments
i went through all the basic setup instructions on the appium website and then found my way to this sample code to try it out.
npm install

@lechium this repo is not meant to be used directly. check out https://github.com/appium/sample-code instead.
its not immediately apparent how to actually test this sample after copying this build directory as directed
https://github.com/appium/sample-code/tree/master/sample-code/apps/TestApp
this is not an appium sample code repo. this is a repo that holds the code for a test app
what is the purpose of this repo then? i dont see any clear cut way for someone entertaining using this as a testing platform for iOS to install and run a pre-made test solution. the sample code you sent me to only has a prebuilt app and instructions for copying build files from this build directory to that one, with zero followup instructions. i've read through everything on the main appium page and on the test driver for iOS and don't see anything useful for samples to work from if i want to see this in action without writing a bunch of tests myself.
the purpose of this repo is to house the code used to build a test app. in other words, this repo is an ios app which, if you want, you could build to use with appium. but there's no appium code examples or samples in this repo.. what language are you trying to use appium with?
probably javascript. i was just trying to see the viability of the platform to do automated testing for iOS. is there any sample code anywhere for me to run without having to write my own test cases? i want to see ios testing in action with as little overhead as possible.
There are lots of JS examples here: https://github.com/appium/sample-code/tree/master/sample-code/examples/node
just clone that repo, navigate to that dir, run npm install, then (assuming you have an appium server running, and the right ios sdk installed): $(npm bin)/mocha ios-simple.js. it will execute that test against your appium server. you can modify the code if you want to change which version of ios it runs against.
thanks i appreciate it!
We have been working on the sample code, since it has gotten into a bad state. The current version for JS is in a branch on the main site. I would recommend looking at that to avoid the frustration of working through some out-of-date samples.
