Set autoAcceptAlerts on start appium in terminal.

Question

Is there a way to launch Appium via terminal with autoAcceptsAlerts set on true?

This is my script which I start Appium:

start_appium(){
  source ~/.bash_profile
  $NODE $APPIUM_JS 
  --app $APPLICATION_PATH
  --address "0.0.0.0" 
  --port $1 
  --udid myudid
}

I want to add autoAcceptAlerts. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Appium 1.5 does away with most CLI flags; the remainder can be converted into JSON and made part of the --default-capabilities flag. For example:

# raw JSON as an argument
--default-capabilities '{"app": "myapp.app", "deviceName": "iPhone Simulator"}'
# or the name of a JSON file
--default-capabilities /path/to/file.json

So to set autoAcceptAlerts on terminal, you would run:

$ appium --default-capabilities '{"autoAcceptAlerts": true}'
