This approach was first publicly suggested by Rajdeep Varma in his AppiumConf 2018 talk, and Rajdeep was the one who contributed the code to make it a reality in Appium today. (It's called 'backdoor' because Appium is getting inside of your app through the 'back door' of Espresso, not the 'front door' of the UI that a user would use.

#Appium app crashing driver

This is the actual method you will call in your test code, which will tell the Espresso driver what to run inside your app.

The new mobile: backdoor method available on the Appium Espresso driver.

You can either code this method up yourself or ping your Android app developer to add one that meets your specifications. This is the method that your test script will ultimately trigger in the course of your automation.

Knowledge of a particular public method located on your Android application, activity, or UI element.

To make this more general white box strategy work, you need two things:

(If you recall, Espresso is also what enabled us to make our elements flash on screen). Thanks to Appium's Espresso driver, Appium can now take advantage of this approach. This is one reason that some modern testing technologies, like Espresso, allow for a white box testing approach, where internal app methods are accessible from the automation context. We use Appium correctly by thinking like a user would (interacting with the surface of the app), not thinking like an app developer would (calling internal code directly).Р вЂќР’В«lack box testing has its limitations, primarily in requiring the automation to go through user steps many times, even when it would be more convenient to skip to a certain known state. However, the same package and activity names work with apppium v1.7.2.Р вЂќР вЂћfter the session ends, I have tried to manually open the installed app on my phone, and it craches within 2 seconds.Appium is traditionally considered a 'black box' testing tool, meaning it has no access to your application's internal methods or state. According to the log file, the session ends because of incorrect package or activity names. It is the best way to do a sanity check for every change in your App. Running Crash Test Scenarios The bot runs the crash test covering several installations/uninstall scenarios along with random events on the App, that too, on multiple devices. Elements on iOS apps can be inspected using an Appium inspector. API/Server performance- the speed and format of data transfer.

#Appium app crashing apk

The modified apk file is about 7KB larger than the original one. Just upload your app and wait for the bot to deliver a comprehensive test report for the app. Device performance- battery consumption, start time, app crashes. Any way, it is really a bad idea to directly modify the apk file rather than making a copy first and then making modifications to the copy. I don't know whether this is the new way around or it is just another bug. In appium 1.8 however, both the size and time-of-modification changes.

#Appium app crashing install

When installing on Mac, make sure the user has write permissions for /usr/local/lib or install Appium with the command npm install -g appium -unsafe-permtrue -allow-root If you're running Appium.app. I have noticed that the apk file itself in my computer does not get modified in version 1.7.2. On windows run appium.app as administrator or when running from source you need to run cmd as administrator. Then everything goes fine and the app no longer crashes. I have gone back to appium 1.7.2 and replaced the modified apk with the original one. I have tried to manually install the modified apk and launch the app, the crash is still the same. There is something wrong with that modification, as the modified apk crashes just seconds after launch. It seems that the apk file in my computer gets modified by appium 1.8.

Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium.exe.

Real device or emulator/simulator: Both real device & simulator.

Mobile platform/version under test: Android 7.1 / Android 5.1.

Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v8.11.1.

Appium supports multiple Android and mobile browsers. With Appium we are able to automate test cases for mobile applications for native, hybrid and web apps. Our organisation has mobile apps on Android and IOS for different OS versions.

#Appium app crashing windows 10

Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Windows 10 64bit Appium is used in our project to automate mobile application test cases.

Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): 1.7.2.

Go to Window -> Devices, and it should start automatically. If Instruments is crashing when running against a physical device ('exited with code 253'), ensure Xcode has downloaded device symbols.

Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.8 If this is the first time youve run Appium, make sure to authorize the use of Instruments.

After updating to appium 1.8, the app I'm testing crashes soon after getting launched.
