Can you automate ui based web app with appium?

Question

I have to automate an UI of web application. I also need to automate an UI in mobile. Does Appium supports both the platform ??? Anyone with knowledge of Appium can comment down below.

Answer 1

Yes, Appium works perfectly fine for hybrid (native + web) mobile apps:

// assuming we have a set of capabilities
driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
for (String contextName : contextNames) {
    System.out.println(contextName); //prints out something like NATIVE_APP \n WEBVIEW_1
}
driver.context(contextNames.toArray()[1]); // set context to WEBVIEW_1

//do some web testing
String myText = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".green_button")).click();

driver.context("NATIVE_APP");

// do more native testing if we want

driver.quit();
