AppiumFieldDecorator with POM gives error

nishi · January 19, 2022, 2:21am

I am trying to automate with Appium, TestNG and Maven. I am getting errors while initializing the page object model. An error log is attached with this. Tried many ways, but no luck. It would be great if anyone know where I am doing mistakes. java-client --> 6.1.0 testng --> 7.4.0

public final class Driver {
public static void initDriver() {
if (Objects.isNull(DriverManager.getDriver())) {
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, MobilePlatform.ANDROID);
capability.setCapability(“appPackage”, AppConstant.appPackage);
capability.setCapability(“appActivity”, AppConstant.appActivity);

        AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver = new AppiumDriver<>(url, capability);
        DriverManager.setDriver(driver);
    }
}

}

DriverManager for parallel execution:

public final class DriverManager {
private static ThreadLocal<AppiumDriver> driver = new ThreadLocal<AppiumDriver>();

public static AppiumDriver<MobileElement> getDriver() {
    return driver.get();
}
static void setDriver(AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driverRef) {
    driver.set(driverRef);
}

}

POM:

public class HomePage{

@AndroidFindBy(xpath="//*[@content-desc='Accessibility']")
private MobileElement eleAccessibility;

public HomePage(){
    PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(DriverManager.getDriver(), Duration.ofSeconds(10)), this);}

public void clickAccessibility() {
    eleAccessibility.click();
}

}

Getting below Error:

Your java version is ?

Result: xx
Expected: < 17 e.g. 11

nishi · January 19, 2022, 7:43am

@Aleksei Thank you for quick response.

My system I have Below installed versions:

C:/users < java -version
java version “11.0.13” 2021-10-19 LTS
Java™ SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.13+10-LTS-370)

Eclipse: Version: 2021-09 (4.21.0)

Appium-Server-GUI-windows-1.22.0

Maven dependancy:

Initially, I started with Java 1.8 in my system, One of your post mentioned to have Java 11. So, yesterday I installed it. Not sure whether I need any extra configuration in Eclipse.

Aleksei · January 19, 2022, 9:09am

what selenium version you use? you should use selenium 3 with any java-client version < 8.0.X

How you start tests? IntelliJ or command line?

nishi · January 19, 2022, 2:55pm

Hi @Aleksei, start executing by right click on the testng.xml file and running as a suite.

Initially I have not added the selenium dependancy except java-client and it was going at list till the test cases. However now it is not hitting the beforeSuite method itself.

Aleksei · January 19, 2022, 4:21pm

with java-client 7.6.0 I do not use any selenium. i just mentioned it that with 8.0.X version you should user selenium 4.+ if you have it.
so remove from pom.
check in your IDE what Java version it users. e.g. mine in IntelliJ

nishi · January 19, 2022, 4:56pm

Thank you @Aleksei, Please share which Intellij version are using? Let me try with Intellij…

Aleksei · January 19, 2022, 5:02pm

I did not update it for quite time: 2021.2.2 mine.
And try run in command prompt / terminal also.

nishi · January 20, 2022, 2:13pm

Thank you very much @Aleksei, I really appreciate for helping me with this problem.

I have installed IntelliJ with the same version which you mentioned and configured the same project and It is working fine. I fill might be some problem with the Eclipse ID version with this configuration.

Once again thank you very much.

rohit · May 12, 2022, 12:29pm

Even i was facing same issue, i had java 18, I downgraded to java11

with java client

io.appium
java-client
7.6.0

I was able to resolve the issue

Thank you.

anuresh_nanda · September 10, 2023, 5:55am

@Aleksei I’m getting the same error post upgrading to Appium Java client 8.3.0 recently and also upgrading to selenium-server 4.1.2. I’ve my project compiled on JDK11 and my tests run on Saucelabs…Any idea what could be going wrong??
