Issues with Safari on Real iOS Devices - Appium v1.3.4 with Java

jchuong · December 5, 2014, 12:34am

Sorry, not sure if this is Issue/Bug or Support topic, and not perhaps not even an Appium issue.

Devices:

MacBook Retina OSX 10.9.5 - XCode 6.1
iPhone 4 on 7.1.2
iPad 3 on 8.0

My libraries are:

ideviceinstaller HEAD
libimobiledevice 1.1.7
libplist 1.12
node 0.10.32
usbmuxd 1.0.10

ios-webkit-debug-proxy 1.4 from source, running:

./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js -c [device udid]:27753 -d

Appium v1.3.4 running from source, using:

./reset.sh --ios --real-safari --code-sign 'iPhone Developer' --profile 'profile code'

I’m not actually sure what to put in for code-sign but it doesn’t seem to matter. Profile code is from the provision file from Apple.
Then run Appium with:

node lib/server/main.js -U <udid>

Where both UDID are copied from, so they should not be wrong:

instruments -s devices

Now when I run the Java test:

github.com

appium-boneyard/sample-code/blob/master/sample-code/examples/java/junit/src/test/java/com/saucelabs/appium/SafariTest.java

package com.saucelabs.appium;

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import io.appium.java_client.ios.IOSDriver;

import java.net.URL;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

/**
 *
 * Simple test which demonstrates how a test can be run against Mobile Safari running on an Appium instance.
 *
 * The test is based on https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/sample-code/examples/node/safari.js

This file has been truncated. show original

Sometimes it works, but it sometimes ios-webkit-debug-proxy will have an error:

Invalid message _rpc_applicationUpdated: <dict>
    <key>WIRApplicationBundleIdentifierKey</key>
    <string>com.apple.mobilesafari</string>
    <key>WIRApplicationNameKey</key>
    <string>Safari</string>
    <key>WIRIsApplicationProxyKey</key>
    <false/>
    <key>WIRIsApplicationActiveKey</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
    <key>WIRApplicationIdentifierKey</key>
    <string>PID:176</string>
</dict>

Which ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js catches and relaunches ios-webkit-debug-proxy.
However, another error sometimes comes up before that one:

stderr: Unknown app_id com.apple.mobilesafari

At this point, Appium will have an entry saying that the connection was refused since ios-webkit-debug-proxy is dead. This error isn’t caught by i-w-d-p launcher, so I added it to the error messages to detect.

Now, with my change, Unknown app_id is caught but the ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher does not look like it restarts:

stderr: Unknown app_id com.apple.mobilesafari

Detected error message: Unknown app_id
Killing proxy!

ss.remove_fd(6)
Disconnected :27753 from iPhone (<udid>)
ss.remove_server_fd(4)
ss.remove_fd(3)

child process exited with code 0

Occasionally with my change, I get nothing happening after SafariLauncher launches Safari:

[debug] Didn't get a new command in 60 secs, shutting down...
[info] Shutting down appium session
[debug] Stopping ios
[debug] Closing socket server.
[debug] Instruments socket server was closed
[debug] Sending sigterm to instruments

and ios-webkit-debug-proxy is still running. Maybe this is because Appium has sent the command to the device already and ios-webkit was off during the restart of an error?

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get Safari testing to work (reliably)?

Thanks.

Edit: I have Web Inspector turned on, and UI Automation enabled for my iOS 8.0 iPad.

UPDATE: I have tried it with a 10.8.5 VM, so it doesn’t seem to be OS related.

I just tried installing for the first time using `brew install ios-webkit-debug-…proxy`. It looks like it worked fine, but I can't get either of my test devices (iPhone 5 on iOS 8 or iPad mini /w Retina on iOS 7.1.1) to connect.
