Having issues running Java test project listed on Appium.io website

Support
1

Hello,
I am new to Appium, and have been trying to get a test project running using the Java example code listed here:

I want to confirm the capabilities of Appium, and have a solid example in regards to formatting tests.

I initially kept getting an error in regards to my source, but I went into pom.XML and updated the source to 1.8 instead of 1.7.

Now when I run the mvn test command, I keep getting an issue with IosDriver:

"WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)(..)
  testLocation(com.saucelabs.appium.SimpleTest)
  testClear(com.saucelabs.appium.SimpleTest): A new session could not be created. Details: Appium's IosDriver does not support xcode version 8.2.1. Apple has deprecated UIAutomation. Use the "XCUITest" automationName capability instead."

I was curious if somebody could link me to stable Java code for iOS testing so I can debug whether the issue is with my machine, or the project?

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you try adding an additional capability - automationName property to your DesiredCapabilities code and see if it works -

capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");

I attempted to add that to the tests, but now I get:

switch to appium 1.6.4-beta

I uninstall appium, and installed 1.6.4 beta, but I am still getting that error.

Here is some of the console log from appium 1.6.4:

what it your java-client version for sure? hope latest one - v5.0.0-BETA6 ? or at least 5.X?

just in case mine are (i use many - you can remove most :slight_smile: e.g. ‘clearSystemFiles’ or ‘scaleFactor’):

Capabilities [{app=/Users/Aleksei/Downloads/test_clients/xxxx.app, noReset=true, clearSystemFiles=true, scaleFactor=0.5, startIWDP=true, version=, deviceName=iPhone 6s, iosInstallPause=200, fullReset=false, platform=MAC, wdaLaunchTimeout=60000, newCommandTimeout=120, platformVersion=10.2, automationName=XCuiTest, useNewWDA=true, browserName=, wdaConnectionTimeout=60000}]

I checked in the pom.XML, and it is using 5.0.0-BETA6.

check one again your capabilities. as example of min - https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/master/src/test/java/io/appium/java_client/ios/AppIOSTest.java

I tried running that APPIOSTest.java in the main java-client-master directory after I downloaded and unzipped it. I ran the command.

gradle clean -Dtest.single=AppIOSTest test

As it was specified in the repository. I got an error when running it.

Here is my console output:

I am not sure if I am running the tests using the wrong command however, nothing is very clear. If anyone could clarify that for me that would help tremendously.

I also made sure to run appium-doctor, and it’s giving me all greens.
