Appium library for RobotFramework
==================================================

Introduction
------------

AppiumLibrary_ is an appium testing library for `Robot Framework`_. Library can be downloaded from PyPI_.

It uses `Appium <http://appium.io/>`_ to communicate with Android and iOS application
similar to how *Selenium WebDriver* talks to web browser.

It is supporting Python 3.9+ and Appium Python Client 5.1.1+

Keyword Documentation
---------------------

See `Keyword Documentation`_ for available keywords and more information about the library in general.


Installation
------------

**Option 1**  (recommended)

The recommended installation method is using
`pip <http://pip-installer.org>`__::

    pip install --upgrade robotframework-appiumlibrary


**Option 2**  

It is possible to install directly from GitHub repository. To Install latest source
from the master branch, use this command:
`pip <http://pip-installer.org>`__::

  pip install git+https://github.com/serhatbolsu/robotframework-appiumlibrary.git

Please note that installation will take some time, because ``pip`` will
clone the `AppiumLibrary`_ project to a temporary directory and then
perform the installation.


See `Robot Framework installation instructions`_ for detailed information
about installing Python and Robot Framework itself.

Device Setup
------------
After installing the library, you still need to setup an simulator/emulator or real device to use in tests.
iOS and Android have separate paths to follow, and those steps better explained in `Appium Quickstart Intro`_.
Please follow the **Driver-Specific Setup** according to platform.

[*As we make updates to the AppiumLibrary we want to provide current and helpful documentation with regards
to setting up not only devices but the full development environment. I'll note personally I found this to be
a bit overwhelming and complex - doable but lengthy. Once source which greatly helped me is the*
`RoboCon 2024 workshop notes`_ *provide by the team at Eficode. This information may be incorporated here
in the future.*]

Usage
-----

To write tests with Robot Framework and AppiumLibrary, 
AppiumLibrary must be imported into your RF test suite.
See `Robot Framework User Guide <https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html>`_
for more information.

As it uses Appium make sure your Appium server is up and running.
For how to use Appium please refer to `Appium Quickstart Intro`_.

When using Robot Framework, it is generally recommended to write tests easy to read/modify.
The keywords provided in AppiumLibrary are pretty low level. It is thus typically a good idea to write tests using
Robot Framework's higher level keywords that utilize AppiumLibrary
keywords internally. This is illustrated by the following example
where AppiumLibrary keywords like ``Input Text`` are primarily
used by higher level keywords like ``Input Search Query``.

.. code:: robotframework

    *** Settings ***
    Documentation  Simple example using AppiumLibrary
    Library  AppiumLibrary

    *** Variables ***
    ${ANDROID_AUTOMATION_NAME}    UIAutomator2
    ${ANDROID_APP}                ${CURDIR}/demoapp/ApiDemos-debug.apk
    ${ANDROID_PLATFORM_NAME}      Android
    ${ANDROID_PLATFORM_VERSION}   %{ANDROID_PLATFORM_VERSION=11}

    *** Test Cases ***
    Should send keys to search box and then check the value
      Open Test Application
      Input Search Query  Hello World!
      Submit Search
      Search Query Should Be Matching  Hello World!


    *** Keywords ***
    Open Test Application
      Open Application  http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub  automationName=${ANDROID_AUTOMATION_NAME}
      ...  platformName=${ANDROID_PLATFORM_NAME}  platformVersion=${ANDROID_PLATFORM_VERSION}
      ...  app=${ANDROID_APP}  appPackage=io.appium.android.apis  appActivity=.app.SearchInvoke

    Input Search Query
      [Arguments]  ${query}
      Input Text  txt_query_prefill  ${query}

    Submit Search
      Click Element  btn_start_search

    Search Query Should Be Matching
      [Arguments]  ${text}
      Wait Until Page Contains Element  android:id/search_src_text
      Element Text Should Be  android:id/search_src_text  ${text}

Create a file with the content above (name it: ``test_file.robot``) and execute::

    robot test_file.robot

The above example is single file test case, more examples can be found in a `sample project`_ that illustrates using
Robot Framework and AppiumLibrary. Check the sample project that you can find examples of mobile web & ios & android.

AppiumLibrary is modeled after (and forked from)  `appiumandroidlibrary <https://github.com/frankbp/robotframework-appiumandroidlibrary>`_,  but re-implemented to use appium 1.X technologies.
