Installation:

  • Install latest (3.6+) Python
  • Install Git. Clone or Download (choose your local directory) with SSH status-react repository , use the following command in Terminal git clone [email protected]:status-im/status-react.git . SSH key is required so if you don't have any - add it. 
git clone [email protected]:status-im/status-react.git
HINT: if you need to update your cloned repository, use:

git pull [email protected]:status-im/status-react.git

Or the thing works better for me. Being in your status-im local directory, run `git fetch -all` and `git reset --hard origin/develop`

  • Go to /status-react/test/appium and run pip3 install -r requirements.txt (sudo might be required)
  • Install Genymotion: https://www.genymotion.com
  • In Genymotion add two identical devices (Google Nexus 5 - 6.0.0 - API23 - 1080x1920)
  • Install Appium 'npm install -g appium'
  • Use this to diagnose and fix common Node, iOS and Android configuration issues before starting Appium

Local Running:

  • Start Appium (just type appium in terminal and press enter)
  • Start two virtual devices and wait for them to boot
  • Go to /status-react/test/appium/tests and run: python3 -m pytest -m all -v --env=local --apk=/<path to apk>/apk_name.apk
  • Running with -m all starts all tests, if you want to start a specific test group, you can use -m transaction or -m chat instead of -m all. Additional groups will be added after adding more tests

Running with PyCharm

NOTE: you may not see Python 3.6 in your Interpreter list. No worries! Staying on the same screen click Show all -> click + then add local on next screen -> System Interpreter -> Select Python 3.6

  • Configure Python Integrated tools: go to PyCharm -> Preferences-> cdm+ -> Add Integrated tools to search conditions into search bar -> select Python Integrated tools -> Select py.test
  • Go to Appium directory and find pytest.ini file. Add the following line (it is already there, all you need is to add your own path to apk), so for example I have 1.apk in tests folder:

addopts = -s -v --junitxml=result.xml --tb=line --env=local --apk=/Users/in_no_cent/Documents/Status/status-react/test/appium/tests/1.apk --log=True

  • Start Appium, run 2 devices in Genymotion, then select any test you like -> Right click -> Run (tests are started with test_)
  • Enjoy :)
