How to make a python test stable for safari on real device using appium

Hi everybody,

I’m testing a mobile safari using appium and am using python to run the script. The problem is sometimes the test works and sometimes doesn’t. Does anybody has a similiar problem or solution?

here is my sample-code:

google search test

# Appium Commands
# appium -p 4491 -bp 2271 -U  a974f15a5f89f6a6b6a8338ae086e7aa9a380699
# ios_webkit_debug_proxy -c a974f15a5f89f6a6b6a8338ae086e7aa9a380699:25573 -d

from appium import webdriver
from appium.webdriver.common.touch_action import TouchAction
import time

# setup the webdriver
desired_caps = {
