Will Roku WebDriver setup work with my Java framework

Question

I know Roku Webdriver repository comes with python and Postman sample scripts but I was wondering if I could use my Java scripts - not javascript - to connect to go and automate. If so, does anyone have any examples how to setup the driver in Java?

Answer 1

I figured it out. If anyone is interested in automating it in Java, this code will work as a starting point. Make sure to connect to Go server first. The steps are on https://developer.roku.com/en-ca/docs/developer-program/dev-tools/automated-channel-testing/automated-testing-overview.md . Dont forget to update bash or zshrc with

export GOPATH=/Users/$USER/eclipse-workspace/automated-channel-testing-master

Once the server is running, run the code. Make sure you add your own IP. Thats located in settings on the Roku device. Also add a close method so that you wont get any errors that the "session is already running". If you do get that, just reset the server.

Again this is just a starting point - use the APIs in https://developer.roku.com/en-ca/docs/developer-program/dev-tools/automated-channel-testing/web-driver.md to really start automating.

String ip ;
JSONObject json;
String cookie;
        
public RokuDriver(String IP) {
    this.ip = IP;
    
    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient().newBuilder()
              .build(); 
            RequestBody body = RequestBody.create("{\n\t\"ip\": \""+ip+"\"\n}", MediaType.parse("application/json"));
            Request request = new Request.Builder()
              .url("http://localhost:9000/v1/session")
              .method("POST", body)
              .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
              .build();
            try {
                Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
                
                JSONObject jsonBody = new 
                JSONObject(response.body().string());                
                cookie = jsonBody.getString("sessionId");                   
                System.out.println(jsonBody.toString(4));               
                response.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
                close();
            }
}

public void down() {
    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient().newBuilder()
              .build();
            MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("application/json");
            RequestBody body = RequestBody.create("{\n\t\"button\": \"down\"\n}", MediaType.parse("application/json"));
            Request request = new Request.Builder()
              .url("http://localhost:9000/v1/session/"+cookie+"/press")
              .method("POST", body)
              .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
              .build();
            try {
                Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
