Invoking UI Elements with Appium in Cucumber tests in Java Android results in build failed with alot of logs

I have configured cucumber tests. Working fine for my activity.
I have also configured Appium UI Tests which are also working fine when invoked.
Now i want to invoke my activity's UI Elements with Appium under Cucumber tests which are written in stepdefinitions file.

My build.gradle 

// Cucumber for E2E testing
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:27.1.1'
androidTestImplementation 'info.cukes:cucumber-android:1.2.5'
androidTestImplementation 'info.cukes:cucumber-picocontainer:1.2.5'

// Appium for DI  -- implementation / compileOnly
implementation 'io.appium:java-client:6.1.0'
implementation files('libs/java-client-6.1.0.jar')
implementation files('libs/selenium-server-standalone-3.13.0.jar')

In Cucumber steps folder. I have written tests which are working fine. Checked through logs.
Now when i add code of appium in steps setup function to invoke LoginActivity and i can access UI elements like this:

@Before("@login-scenarios")
public void setUp() throws java.net.MalformedURLException {
System.out.println(Tag + "start - setUp in LoginStepdefs");

org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Emulator Nexus_4_API_22 Android 5.1.1, API 22");
capabilities.setCapability(org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Android");
capabilities.setCapability(org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType.VERSION, "5.1.1");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.my.app");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", ".activities.MainActivity");
capabilities.setCapability("unicodeKeyboard", true);
capabilities.setCapability("resetKeyboard", true);
driver = new io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver(new java.net.URL("http://127.0.0.1:1234/wd/hub"), capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

@After("@login-scenarios")
public void tearDown() {
System.out.println(Tag + "stop - tearDown in LoginStepdefs");
driver.quit();
}

@Given("^Login screen is launched$")
public void loginScreenIsLaunched() {
System.out.println(Tag + "1 - loginScreenIsLaunched");
org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait wait = new org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(org.openqa.selenium.By.id(com.my.app.utilities.Constant.APP_PACKAGE + signinEmailId)));
}

Now when i run my cucumber tests. Alot of logs in console and after some time build failed.

I am posting logs. Where i am wrong??

Solution

  • It appears that you're trying to build an Appium-based test with Android SDK and compilation fails as Appium relies on Java SDK

    So the architecture of your test should look like:

    1. Application compiled with the Android SDK deployed on Android device (or emulator)
    2. Your tests compiled with the Java SDK deployed on your computer
    3. Android device (or emulator) connected to the computer via ADB

    This way your tests will control Android device and perform clicks, swipes, typing, assertions, etc. So you need to reconsider the approach of building your test project.

    If you want UI tests to be an integral part of your Android application build consider switching to Espresso, check out How to Get Started with Espresso (Android) to learn more about the concept/implementation.
