I have studied and used appium for mobile testing before. Are some of the experiences and feelings of using appium similar to mine?
1. Appium start service and app program is very slow
2. Appium build environment is more complicated
3. Appium must be connected to usb line for automated testing
Occasional opportunities were raised by mushita, and they began to contact the openatx framework.
The bottom layer is based on Google uiautomator. The uiautomator library provided by Google can obtain any control attribute of any APP on the screen and perform any operation on it, but it only supports JAVA language.
So the big guy developed uiautomator 2 on its basis to support the python language and the above problems were solved well.
One: installation
Command line CMD or Pycharm in your own venv environment
pip install --upgrade --pre uiautomator2
Two: Initialize the device
Connect the phone to usb and run the initialization command
python -m uiautomator2 init
Three: Install the UI viewing tool
pip install -U weditor
After the installation is complete, the direct input of the command line weditor will automatically open the browser, enter the ip or serial number of the device, and click Connect
After the above three steps are completed, you can play as happy as appium. Of course, this is only for Android. If you want to test ios, you need to download another framework, facebook-wda , because there is no mac computer temporarily unavailable.
