Appium Testing On HyperExecute - WebApp

---

This page outlines how to execute your Appium tests on HyperExecute for WebApps using TestNG with YAML 0.2

HyperExecute uses YAML 0.2 to perform the tests using Appium.

Running Appium Tests on HyperExecute for WebApp

---

Prerequisites

To run the Tests on HyperExecute from your Local System, you are required:

• Your lambdatest Username and Access key
• HyperExecute CLI in order to initiate a test execution Job .
• Setup the Environmental Variable
• Ensure you have Appium’s Java client library installed.
• HyperExecute YAML file which contains all the necessary instructions.

Download HyperExecute CLI

The HyperExecute CLI is used for triggering tests on HyperExecute. It is recommend to download the HyperExecute CLI binary on the host system to perform the tests on HyperExecute. The CLI download site for various platforms is displayed below:

Platform	HyperExecute CLI download location
Windows	https://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/windows/hyperexecute.exe
macOS	https://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/darwin/hyperexecute
Linux	https://downloads.lambdatest.com/hyperexecute/linux/hyperexecute

Setup Environment Variable

Export the environment variables LT_USERNAME and LT_ACCESS_KEY that are available in the LambdaTest Profile page. Run the below mentioned commands in the terminal to setup the CLI and the environment variables.

---

For macOS:

export LT_USERNAME=YOUR_LT_USERNAME
export LT_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_LT_ACCESS_KEY

For Linux:

export LT_USERNAME=YOUR_LT_USERNAME
export LT_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_LT_ACCESS_KEY

For Windows:

set LT_USERNAME=YOUR_LT_USERNAME
set LT_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_LT_ACCESS_KEY

Steps to Run Your Test

---

Step 1: Write your Automation Script in the client language of your choice from the ones supported by Appium. An automation script for the sample applications have been provided below.

Here is a sample automation script in Java. Ensure to update the username and accesskey in the below code.

            driver.quit();
        }
    }

}

Step 2: Execute Your Test Case. Debug and run your code.

Once you have run your tests, you can view the test execution along with logs. You will be able to see the test cases passing or failing. You can view the same at LambdaTest Automation.

Sample YAML 0.2

version: "0.1"
runson: win

autosplit: true

concurrency: 2

testDiscovery:
    command: cat tests.txt
    mode: static
    type: raw

testRunnerCommand: mvn test -P $test

framework:
    name: appium

The region parameter specifies the region or location where the Appium tests will be executed. Our platform supports the following three regions:

• ap (Asia-Pacific)
• us (United States)
• eu (European Union)

Sample Capabilities for both android and iOS web app mentioned below -

Android

{
    "deviceName": "Galaxy Tab S4",
    "platformName": "android",
    "platformVersion": "10",
    "visual": True,
    "console": True,
    "deviceOrientation": "PORTRAIT",
    "build": "new-12",
    "isRealMobile": True,
}

iOS

{
    "deviceName": "iPhone 12 Mini",
    "platformName": "ios",
    "platformVersion": "14",
    "isRealMobile": True,
    "visual": True,
    "console": True,
    "build": "lt-web-4",
    "network": True,
}

Refer to the Automation Capabilities Generator to understand more about it.

Navigation in Automation Dashboard

Every test run on the HyperExecute has a unique jobId associated with it. Each jobId can in turn constitute single (or multiple) groupId(s). You can visit HyperExecute automation dashboard for checking the status of the test execution.

The snapshot below shows how to navigate to the respective testID for viewing the Selenium logs:

Conclusion

By following the instructions in this documentation, you can seamlessly execute the Appium tests on HyperExecute for WebApps, leveraging its secure cloud infrastructure, advanced features, and optimized test execution workflow.
