After installing V2 and eventually just getting rid of the GUI server (the gui server has it’s own outdated IOS Facebook web driver for some reason), I now want to start appium from commandline, since signing the webdriver built into the GUI launcher is a too much of a confusing juggle act.
I have installed using nmp install -g appium@next, and then grabbed the drivers.
‘appium’
command supports -a and -p args, but when you run
appium -help it’s not listing these as recognized parameters. Without reading the source code (my java reading is terrible) how do I know how to add a ‘path’ = /wd/hub to the parameters? I tried appending the path to the --address and the --port, but the error messages are not giving many clues. How do I go
You are so awesome! This really helps with my migration efforts from appium1 to appium2, I’m trying to write an appium-2 API wrapper with some switchover logic that looks like my old wrapper, so I don’t have to change too much test code and still keep people who are on xcode13 from breaking. I never wrote our old wrapper, so it’s more work than I as planning, but this helps a load to simplify the code so I can carry on running appium1 and not create more general risk for my team while I port and build new machines on appium2.
Tell your boos, I said they need to give you a raise.
