Can't Switch To Context Webview

anapadinha · October 27, 2015, 12:09pm

Hello guys,

I’ve been reading a lot and still no answer.

I’m testing an hybrid app in real devices, I’m able to get Contexts : native_app, webview. I’m able to Switch To Context NATIVE_APP but I’m not able to switch to webview.

Why can’t I Switch To Context Webview?
Is there any reference for stable version of Appium to get the hybrid apps on real devices working properly or any other ideas/tweaks to get this working ?

I’m using :
robotframework 2.8.7
appium (v1.4.13) installed with node in command line.

Here is my log:

Try using chromedriver 2.20 recently updated
More here

anapadinha · October 27, 2015, 4:59pm

Thanks

I have npm appium-chromedriver installed and didn’t solve the problem.
Any other ideas?

shermaneric · October 27, 2015, 10:10pm

Copying and pasting my last comment in this ticket. (https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/5616#issuecomment-151458164).

In appium I add this to my desired capabilities (i’m in ruby using the appium.txt file)
[caps]
chromedriverExecutable = “/usr/local/bin/chromedriver”

I download 2.20 from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

Then I move the above chromedriver to /usr/local/bin

Then I change permissions: chmod 7555 /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Then I check the version. Here’s my prompt

15:04 $ chromedriver --version

ChromeDriver 2.20.353124 (035346203162d32c80f1dce587c8154a1efa0c3b)

Then I run appium as normal without problem.
The chromedriverExecutable allows you to specify your own chromedriver executable thus bypassing the appium-chromedriver.

Hope this helps!

anapadinha · October 28, 2015, 3:23pm

Hello, I did your suggestion and no better result. Thanks anyway. Might always help some other people.

volfovich · December 24, 2015, 4:03pm

Happened to me also.

In both times it happened when trying to switch to webview context.
Is there any other solution ?

Pankaj_Katiyar · January 7, 2016, 7:34am

One solution worked for me:

download chromedriver 2.20 from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads and keep it somewhere like ~/Desktop
give it executable permission like chmod +x ~/Desktop/chromedriver
add capability to driver like :
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “Android”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”);
capabilities.setCapability(“app”, appFile.getAbsolutePath());
capabilities.setCapability(“serial”, deviceID);
capabilities.setCapability(“newCommandTimeout”, “120”);
capabilities.setCapability(“chromedriverExecutable”, “Desktop/tpt/chromedriver”));
driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://localhost:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);
thats it, you should be good now.

Pankaj_Katiyar · January 11, 2016, 6:52am

Hello everyone!! I could get a fix by monitoring chromedriver all the time during test execution, chromedriver becomes unresponsive while switching back to webview from natiove_app, I developed a small piece of code available at https://github.com/mi2pankaj/chromeDriverHandler, it has solved my all problems, just add this jar chromedriverHandler.jar to your project and use ChromedriverHandler.chromeDriverHandlerThread().start(); in your @beforeclass / @beforetest and ChromedriverHandler.chromeDriverHandlerThread().stop(); in your @afterclass / @aftertest.

Neeraj_Mundada · December 6, 2016, 7:31am

Hi All,

I have faced similar issue and I am able to fix it with below workaround,

Issues description –
Chrome driver was failing unexpectedly while switching to “Webview” context.

Appium version - 1.4.13.1
chromedriver - 25

Work around –

Changed appium settings
 Platform version – 5.0 Lolipop (API Level 21)

Set Server address – 0.0.0.0
Uncheck – Check for updates checkbox

Upgraded the chromdriver version to 25 and replaced the chromedriver.exe on below location with latest version i.e. 25

C:\Program Files (x86)\Appium\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-chromedriver\chromedriver\win

I hope this will work.
