Appium 1.8.1 trying to get espresso running

Support
1

After hitting a previously posted error with UiAutomator2, I wanted to try out espresso… but it seems to be barfing right out of the box (at least through selenium grid):

        DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
        cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
        cap.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        cap.setCapability("deviceName", "ANY");
        cap.setCapability("platformVersion", "ANY");
        // cap.setCapability("automationName", AutomationName.ANDROID_UIAUTOMATOR2);
        cap.setCapability("automationName", AutomationName.ESPRESSO);
        cap.setCapability("appPackage", "com.samsung.android.app.memo");
        cap.setCapability("appActivity", "com.samsung.android.app.memo.Main");
        cap.setCapability("resetKeyboard", true);
        cap.setCapability("unicodeKeyboard", true);
        cap.setCapability("clearSystemFiles", true);
        cap.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", true);
        cap.setCapability("disableAndroidWatchers", true);
        cap.setCapability("ignoreUnimportantViews", true);

        driver = new AndroidDriver<>(new URL(TestProperties.getSeleniumHubUrl()), cap);

And the appium.log error states:

io.appium.espressoserver.test does not have a signature matching the target com.samsung.android.app.memo

espresso must be INSIDE your apk (you need re-build apk). link to setup: https://developer.android.com/training/testing/espresso/setup

BUT as far as you are going to test Samsung app - hardly you can do this.

3

Thanks Aleksei… that is just the app I use to try things out. Unfortunately I don’t like the idea of running a release candidate or release build with espresso in it… so I guess I’ll stick with uiautomator2 for now.

4

Did you try appium@beta? Also it might be a good idea to reset the device to its default settings to make sure there are no leftovers.

This may help you.

Using Espresso With Appium

You have to uninstall your app firstly to make espresso be identified by your app

Ask Android dev add Espresso test framework to mobile client.

9

@Aleksei Could you please help me. My Android dev are using RoboElectric. Still do they need to add decency for Espresso test framework to the mobil client. They are unaware of what should be added. Can you please tell me what are the decency that they need to add?

@Aleksei. Thanks for the immediate reply. I just uninstalled my app in the device then am not getting this issue ’ io.appium.espressoserver.test does not have a signature matching the target .

Then I got the error as ’ Resources$NotFoundException Resource is not a Drawable’ . Then I did these things ’

  • changed all SDK versions in both build.gradle and serverd manifest to match versions in AUT
  • disabled transitive dependencies for espresso-contrib (I guess these dependencies are main cause for this issue)
  • excluded androidx.test.espresso group from transitive dependencies of espresso-web
    Build the espresso Server and replaced the espresso-server debug Build APK

Now the Resource Not Found error has been resolved.
But getting the following error '2019-11-21 05:51:29:490 [Espresso] Installed Espresso Test Server apk ‘/var/folders/qv/0jx6zk2s2sx4h0x4vypksn84zc27mv/T/io.appium.espressoserver.test_1.16.0_bet.thescore.android.debug.apk’ (pkg: ‘io.appium.espressoserver.test’)

Any help is really appreciated. Can you please help me.
Note:
Android dev didn’t include the espresso dependency.

Sorry. Never used Espresso yet.
