- GADS or Go Appium Docker Service is a small webserver that allows you to configure and monitor Appium docker containers and essentially create your own device farm for Appium test execution.
- NB It is a work in progress and is in no way a full-fledged and finalized solution. This is my first attempt at Go and web dev in general so a lot of the code is probably messy as hell. I will be doing my best to cleanup and improve all the time but for now this is just a working POC.
NB I've been doing this having only small number of devices available. It looks like everything is pretty much working but I do not know how it would behave on a bigger scale. - Currently being adopted and sponsored by
- Easy setup
- Simple and intuitive UI so you can easily control most of the project config via the browser
- Endpoints to control the project without the UI
- iOS Appium servers in Docker containers
- Most of the available functionality of the iOS devices is essentially a wrapper of the amazing go-ios project without which none of this would be possible
- Automatically spin up when registered device is connected/disconnected
- Self-healing checks to reinstall/restart WebDriverAgent if it fails
- Selenium Grid 3 connection
- Run iOS Appium tests on cheap hardware on much bigger scale with only one host machine
- Android Appium servers in Docker containers
- Automatically spin up when registered device is connected/disconnected
- Selenium Grid 3 connection
- Simple device control page:
- Device video stream:
- for iOS the WDA mjpeg stream is used to stream video off the devices
- for Android minicap is used to stream video off the devices
- Basic remote control:
- tap
- swipe
- type
- Appium itself is used to perform all of these, nothing special
- Information about the device(configuration, installed apps, available apps to install - WIP)
- Simple web based 'Appium inspector':
- Create a new Appium session if none exists - not so useful when you have the actual and much better inspector from Appium
- Automatically connect to existing Appium session - useful for remote debugging while running/writing tests
- Search for elements using the usual Appium identifiers, visualize outline on stream upon element selection
- Get page source - visualize page source as tree similar to actual 'Appium Inspector', visualize element info upon selection, visualize outline on stream upon element selection

| About | |
|---|---|
| go-ios | Many thanks for creating this tool to communicate with iOS devices on Linux, perfect for installing/reinstalling and running WebDriverAgentRunner without Xcode. Without it none of this would be possible |
| iOS App Signer | This is an app for OS X that can (re)sign apps and bundle them into ipa files that are ready to be installed on an iOS device. |
| minicap | Stream screen capture data out of Android devices |
