Need info about running sample project about cucumber-ui-automation-framework

Hi @vikramvi ,

I will update READ.me with more detailed info as soon as possible

In quick response to your questions:

• No, you don't need to start Appium server manually. AppiumServer is responsible for starting the server. BUT for proper functioning your appium must be installed with npm.

  mvn clean install -D"device.name"="DesiredDeviceName will execute the entire process. After the tests are done you will find html reports inside android-test/target/html-reports folder. Failing tests will also embed screenshot and device logs to the report file

• You don't need to change anything to make it work. You can edit android-test module's pom.xml as your wish. See between 'systemPropertyVariables' tags.

  Executing mvn clean install -D"systemPropertyVariables"="desiredValue" you can also override any systemPropertyVariables like these.

PS: I have fixed a bug that prevent apk file location detection on Windows env.

@mosclofri I tried running from Eclipse and face few issues as below

1. values are NOT being read from class Property

2. Need to hard code them as below

service = buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder(). withIPAddress("127.0.0.1"). usingPort(Integer.parseInt("4723")) .withAppiumJS(new File("/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js")) .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL, "info"));

3. Need to add
   withAppiumJS(new File("/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js"))

as without this it was throwing an error.

can you please review and fix these as well ?

Thanks,
Vikram

Hello @vikramvi

It is running fine for me inside OSX, Windows and Linux with Intellij. I believe its more likely to be problem with your environment settings. Could you able to run the "appium" command directly within bash? I think, code fails to locate Appium inside your PATH and it requires manual file location.

[vikramvi]

yes I could run appium command directly from bash and it works well.

I think it may be issue with Eclipse IDE , as I have to explicitly mention ANDROID_HOME in environment variable in Run Configuration dialog.

Can you run test case from IDE itself instead of command line ?

Hi @vikramvi

Does it work through bash via 'mvn clean install' without explicitly mention main.js file? I am not using Eclipse but with Intellij, its works fine when i run RunTest.java over IDE
