Introduction to Appium

Appium is an open source, cross-platform testing framework, which can be used to test Native App, hybrid applications, mobile Web applications (H5 applications) and so on. It is also an important tool for Internet enterprises to achieve mobile automation testing. The testing philosophy that Appium adheres to:

There is no need for the user to modify or recompile the App, the App should be Born to be Automated.

Users should not be restricted to writing and executing tests in a specific language or framework.

The API of the mobile test framework should be stable, reasonable, and should not repeatedly build wheels for automated API.

The mobile testing framework should be open source, including "mental and physical".

This article is an environment configuration tutorial for Appium.

The difference between Appium, Appium-desktop and Appium Client

Appium: is the core of the Appium system, because it is also a web interface service, so it will also be called appium server, including 4723 and other ports opened by default.

Appium-Desktop: in order to make Appium easier to use, to make it easier for rookies to get started, and to make debugging and interface analysis more convenient, the official development of GUI's tool Appium-desktop.

Appium Client:Appium is just a Web interface, it accepts HTTP requests, so each language can encapsulate and send requests, so there are various subprojects under appium. The following is the language support for Appium Client.

Install NodeJS

# check node and npm versions of node-vnpm-v by installing nodebrew install node# through brew

Install Appium

Method 1: npm installation (official installation)

# install directly through node, which is prone to network timeout and other exceptions. Npm install-g appium is not recommended.

Method 2: cnpm installation (recommended)

Toggle Taobao NPM image

What is Taobaoyuan mirror image?

This is a full npmjs.org image, which you can use instead of the official version (read-only). The synchronization frequency is currently 10 minutes to ensure that it is synchronized with the official service as much as possible.

Why choose Taobao npm image?

Because the Node installation plug-in is downloaded from a foreign server, it is greatly affected by the network, slow and abnormal. So it would be nice if npm's server was in China, so the Taobao team (Aliyun, Alibaba's business), which we are happy to share, offered this benefit.

# Taobaoyuan installation command npm install-g cnpm-- registry= https://registry.npm.taobao.org# is installed through the npm image of Taobaoyuan. # the installation time may be a little long, so you need to wait patiently for cnpm install-g appium# installation to complete the verification under appium- v# overall check whether the appium environment is installed successfully # you need to install appium-doctor,# through cnpm and then execute appium-doctorcnpm install-g appium-doctorappium-doctor
