Appium Docker

Real Device

Why

Helps in quick & easier setup of automation environment for Appium + Android

Setting up Android real device test on Docker macOSX

Make sure you have latest docker installed on mac.

 docker-machine --version
 docker-machine version 0.16.1, build cce350d7

Create a docker-machine

docker-machine create --driver virtualbox appium-machine

Enable USB in created docker-machine
```
docker-machine stop appium-machine
vboxmanage modifyvm appium-machine --usb on --usbehci on
docker-machine start appium-machine
```
Note: You need to install Extension Pack depends on your virtualbox version, in case you get an Error "Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found"
Open Virtual box, navigate to appium-machine created, select USB and add Android device.
Kill adb server from the base machine
```
adb kill-server
```
SSH into the docker machine created
```
docker-machine ssh appium-machine
```

Run the android docker image which consists of all the android tools

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/sdk:/sdk thenishant/android bash -c 'cp -a $ANDROID_HOME/. /sdk'

Run the appium docker image which will be used to dockerizing the appium test

docker run --privileged -d -p 5901:5901 -p 2222:22 -p 5037:5037 -p 4723:4723 -v $(pwd)/sdk:/opt/android-sdk -v /dev/kvm:/dev/kvm -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb thenishant/appium-copy

Run adb devices command to verify adb can detect the connected android device.
```
docker exec -it container adb devices
```

Copy the apk file from host machine to the container

docker cp /Users/local_path_to_apk/appName.apk container:/opt

Run this command to get the ip address of the docker machine
```
docker-machine ip <your-docker-container-name>
```
Now Run your appium test by using the app location from step 10 and with from step 11.

Emulator

Create a vmware Fusion machine

docker-machine create --driver vmwarefusion appium

Regenerate certificate for your docker-machine only if get certificate signed by unknown authority error
```
docker-machine regenerate-certs appium
```
Stop the docker in order to enable virtualization on vmware machine
```
 ```
 docker-machine stop appium
 ```
```
Enable virtualization on VmWare machine

Start the Vm machine and ssh into docker-machine

docker-machine start android
docker-machine ssh android

Install kvm_intel into your VmMachine
```
sudo modprobe kvm_intel
```

Run the android docker image which consists of all the android tools

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/sdk:/sdk thenishant/android bash -c 'cp -a $ANDROID_HOME/. /sdk'

Run the appium docker image which will be used to dockerizing the appium test

docker run --privileged -d -p 5901:5901 -p 2222:22 -p 5037:5037 -p 4723:4723 -v $(pwd)/sdk:/opt/android-sdk -v /dev/kvm:/dev/kvm -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb thenishant/appium-copy

SSH into the the running container
```
docker exec -it <container name> bash
```

Run below commands to download emulator components

echo y | sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-24" "emulator"
echo y | sdkmanager "system-images;android-24;default;x86"

Different images avilable for android-24 version

 system-images;android-24;default;arm64-v8a
 system-images;android-24;default;armeabi-v7a
 system-images;android-24;default;x86
 system-images;android-24;default;x86_64
 system-images;android-24;google_apis;arm64-v8a
 system-images;android-24;google_apis;armeabi-v7a
 system-images;android-24;google_apis;x86
 system-images;android-24;google_apis;x86_64
 system-images;android-24;google_apis_playstore;x86

Create emulator with the above used system image

echo no | avdmanager create avd -n emuTest -k "system-images;android-24;default;x86"

Now run the emulator by running this command
```
emulator/emulator -avd emuTest -noaudio -gpu off
```
Note: You may want to run these commands only if you get error regarding /dev/kvm inside the container.
```
umount /dev/kvm
rm -rf /dev/kvm
mknod /dev/kvm c 10 232
```

Copy the apk file from host machine to the container

docker cp /Users/local_path_to_apk/appName.apk container:/opt

Run this command to get the ip address of the docker machine
```
docker-machine ip <your-docker-container-name>
```
Now Run your appium test by using the app location from step 13 and with from step 14.

VNC Server

In order to see whats happening with your emulator inside the container, you can use vncviewer from here and use.

vnc://<docker-machine ip <machine-name>>:5901
