Configuring Environment

There are two cli applications included in starter. To view a list of all commands in these cli applications inside your terminal run the following commands one by one:

composer run appium
composer run selenium

Appium

Lets configure your environment for running mobile application testing. Open your terminal and run the following command:

composer run appium configure

Selenium

To configure your environment for running selenium server run the below command:

composer run selenium configure

Running Example Tests

Note: For running example tests you need to have installed and configured the android emulator or iOS simulator on your machine.

Before running the mobile tests we need to start the appium server. To start appium server run the following command inside your terminal:

composer run appium start

We need to move everything from example directory to the root folder of the project. Run the following command inside your terminal:

mv example/* .

You can find the android and ios example tests inside /tests directory. We also put some example apps for android and ios inside /tests/_data/test-apps directory.

Android Tests

For running android emulator we are using genymotion. Follow this guide if you do not know how to install and run android emulator. You also need to install the application that you want to test inside android emulator.

Update Suite

Now you need to update the android.suite.yml you can find this filw inside tests directory. And also update the deviceName to your android emulator device name. If you have genymotion installed you can find the device name from the devices list.

Running Tests

To run the android tests run the following codecept command inside your terminal:

./vendor/bin/codecept -c example/codeception.yml run android --steps

Note: Make sure appium server is running before running the android tests.

iOS Tests

First you need to run the appium server than you need to start the iOS simulator. Use the following if you do not know how to run iOS sumulator http://www.macinstruct.com/node/494.

Update Suite

Now you need to update the ios.suite.yml you can find this file inside tests directory. Open ios.suite.yml file and update xcodeOrgId and udid to your running simulator identifier string. You can find your identifier string by opening the simulator then Hardware > Device > Manage Devices > Simulators. You will find a list of iOS devices now open the device that you are running and after clicking on the device name you will find the identifier string.

Running Tests

To run the ios tests run the following codecept command inside your terminal:

./vendor/bin/codecept -c example/codeception.yml run ios --steps
