Appium test scripts can be written in many languages. We currently provide examples for:
- Java
- Node.js
For further questions, please see our documentation at https://appetize.io/docs.
Your system must have a JVM and Java Compiler. Run javac -version from a command line to verify.
Our example uses Gradle as a build system and dependency manager. Run these commands in a terminal:
cd appium-samples/java
./gradlew assembleDist
cd build/distributions
unzip appium-samples.zip
# run android
appium-samples/bin/appium-samples android
# run ios
appium-samples/bin/appium-samples ios
On Windows, replace ./gradlew with gradle.bat.
To install NodeJS, please see https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/. Our preferred method on Mac OSX is to use Homebrew. Install Homebrew by following directions at http://brew.sh/, then you may run brew install node.
These test scripts depend on a few packages which are referenced in the file package.json. To install the packages listed in package.json, you may cd to this directory in Terminal and run npm install.
You may now run any of the included sample scripts by running node filename.js, for example, node android-basic.js, node ios-basic.js, or node ios-legacy-basic.js.
