Appium, Ruby : promote_appium_methods call fails with error "`hide_keyboard' not defined ", Appium Lib 12.0.1

I have upgraded the appium_lib gem with version 12.0.1 but "promote_appium_methods" is getting failed with below error.
Same code works perfectly with appium lib : 11.2.0.

Also, documentation link is not accessible,

thank you. I'll take a look

~~What is the automationName?~~

Could you share code when you call promote_appium_methods?

ruby_lib/android_tests/lib/run.rb

Lines 28 to 30 in 8448f29

    
           driver = Appium::Driver.new(caps, true) 
        
           # Tests expect methods defined on the minispec object 
        
           Appium.promote_appium_methods ::Minitest::Spec, driver

in this test code worked, so I'd like to check how you called the method.

@KazuCocoa

Thanks for checking the issue,
here is the code snippet where we call promote_appium_method

self.driver.start_driver
Appium.promote_appium_methods Object

How to create self.driver? I wonder if this is a global driver ($driver) thing.

@KazuCocoa we create driver using, and all things are working fine with appium lib version : 10.6.0
appium_driver = Appium::Driver.new({:caps => self.test_configuration.desired_capabilities, :appium_lib => appium_lib}, true)

I think there is change is "hide_keyboard" method signature, it started working after removing a parameter from hide_keyboard call.

def hide_keyboard(close_key = nil)
self.wrapped_driver.hide_keyboard(close_key)
end

But after that started getting error for :close_app

thank you, I'll take a look

mm, I could not reproduce this behavior yet.

ruby_lib/lib/appium_lib/appium.rb

Line 211 in a5d4c4f

remove_method method if method_defined? method

Did you define the same method name in the Object class?

No we dont have this one let me add and check. Thanks

We had methods with same name which was causing this issue. After removing those, things worked

	driver = Appium::Driver.new(caps, true)
	# Tests expect methods defined on the minispec object
	Appium.promote_appium_methods ::Minitest::Spec, driver
