Driver types in Ruby Client

# Appium specific driver with helpers available extending Standard Appium Driver.
@appium_driver = Appium::Driver.new @options, false

# Standard Appium Driver extends Selenium WebDriver.
@selenium_driver = @appium_driver.start_driver

Example

Example of automating the built in Android settings.

# run Pry, and paste the following
apk = { 
        platformName: 'android',
        deviceName: :nexus,
        appPackage: 'com.android.settings',
        appActivity: '.Settings',
        appWaitActivity: '.Settings'
      }
Appium::Driver.new({caps: apk}, false).start_driver

Example use of Appium’s mobile gesture.

Long click on an ImageView in Android.

last_image = find_elements(:class, 'ImageView').last
long_press(element: last_image)

Rotate examples. The behaviour is depends on devices.

driver.rotate :landscape
driver.rotate :portrait

• appium_server_version Discover the Appium rev running on the server.
• element.send_keys "msg" Sends keys to currently active element

APIs

e.name # button, text
e.value # secure, textfield
e.type 'some text' # type text into textfield
e.clear # clear textfield
e.tag_name # calls .type (patch.rb)
e.text
e.size
e.location
e.location_rel
e.click
e.send_keys 'keys to send'
e.displayed? # true or false depending if the element is visible
e.selected? # is the tab selected?
e.attribute('checked') # is the checkbox checked?


# alert example without helper methods
alert = @driver.switch_to.alert
alert.text
alert.accept
alert.dismiss

# Secure textfield example.
#
# Find using default value
s = textfield 'Password'
# Enter password
s.send_keys 'hello'
# Check value
s.value == ios_password('hello'.length)

Driver

• start_driver will restart the driver.
• x will quit the driver and exit Pry.
• execute_script calls @driver.execute_script
• find_element calls @driver.find_element
• find_elements calls @driver.find_elements
• no_wait will set implicit wait to 0. @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 0
• set_wait will set implicit wait to default seconds. @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = default
• set_wait(timeout_seconds) will set implicit wait to desired timeout. @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = timeout
• .click to tap an element.
• .send_keys or .type to type on an element.

Cucumber Sauce Integration

Reset after each test and when done report the result to Sauce after quiting the driver.

require 'rest_client' # https://github.com/archiloque/rest-client
require 'json' # for .to_json
require 'sauce_whisk'

After do |scenario|
  # end the test session, ignoring any exceptions.
  ignore { $driver.driver_quit }

  user   = ENV['SAUCE_USERNAME']
  key    = ENV['SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY']
  if user && !user.empty? && key && !key.empty?
    passed = ! scenario.failed?
    SauceWhisk::Jobs.change_status $driver.driver.session_id, passed
  end
end
