Appium end-to-end tests for Status app

This article seems to be out-of-date on 06 June 2018

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 5X - 7.1.0 - API25 - 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

• Install PyCharm Community
• Open (do not create new!) status react project in PyCharm
• Set Appium directory As Sources Root. Navigate to Appium folder -> Right click -> Mark Directory as Sources root
• Configure Project Interpreter: go to PyCharm -> Preferences-> Project: <project name> -> Project Interpreter -> Select Python 3.6

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-> Tools -> 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 :)
