Getting Started

This document is written for OS X 10.9.2 or better. iOS testing requires OS X. Android testing works on OS X, Windows, and Linux.

Steps to install

Install Xcode 5.1.1.

  • Xcode 5.0.0 shouldn't be used for iOS 6 as it's flaky.
  • Xcode 5.0.1 is broken.
  • Xcode 4.6.3 doesn't support iOS 7.

After that, install the command line build tools for your version of OS X (Xcode -> Open Developer Tools -> More Developer Tools).

  • Install Java 7 if there's no Java on the system.

  • Install stable release of Ruby.

$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

  • Make sure RVM is using the correct Ruby by default
$ rvm list
$ rvm --default use 2.3.0
  • If you have an old ruby, you can installing Ruby 2.3.0 instead
$ rvm get head
$ rvm autolibs homebrew
$ rvm install 2.3.0
  • Check that it's installed properly by printing the ruby version.

$ ruby --version

  • Update RubyGems and Bundler.
gem update --system ;\
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri bundler ;\
gem update ;\
gem cleanup
  • Check that RubyGems is >= 2.1.5
$ gem --version
2.6.4
  • Install appium_console gem.
gem uninstall -aIx appium_lib ;\
gem uninstall -aIx appium_console ;\
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri appium_console
gem uninstall -aIx flaky ;\
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri flaky

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

brew update ;\
brew upgrade node ;\
brew install node
  • Node should be v0.10.5 or better. Don't use the big green install button on nodejs.org or all npm commands will require sudo.

$ node --version

$ npm --version

  • Install grunt.

npm install -g grunt grunt-cli

  • Run the version command from the appium folder. If you're not in that folder, the grunt version will not display.
$ grunt --version
grunt-cli v0.1.6
grunt v0.4.1
  • Install ant if it's not already installed.
  • Install maven 3.1.1 or better if it's not already installed. Old maven will not work.

Ant and maven can be installed manually or using brew.

$ brew update
$ brew install ant
$ brew install maven
$ ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.7 compiled on April 9 2016
$ mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T09:41:47-07:00)
  • Clone appium

$ git clone git://github.com/appium/appium.git

  • Run reset.sh. When running reset.sh, make sure to be on Xcode 5.0.2 for best results. You may have problems if you reset on Xcode 4.6.3 and then switch to a newer Xcode.

cd appium; ./reset.sh

If you see config errors, try cleaning git. git clean -dfx; git reset --hard

You can also reset by platform. ./reset.sh --android

If npm is having issues, you may have to disable https. I don't recommend this, however if you must this is how to do so:

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

  • Authorize for iOS testing. Must run reset.sh as mentioned above before running the grunt task.

sudo `which grunt` authorize

  • Start appium.

node .

Bash Profile

  • Add the Android SDK tools folder to your path so you can run android.
  • Define the ANDROID_HOME env var pointing to SDK root. On OSX place it in ~/.bash_profile
  • You may have to add grunt as well /usr/local/share/npm/bin/grunt
# ~/.bash_profile
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Downloads/android-sdk-macosx
export ANDROID_SDK=$ANDROID_HOME
PATH=$PATH:/Applications/apache-ant-1.8.4/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/share/npm/bin/
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export JAVA_HOME="`/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java_home`"

export PATH
  • Run android to open the SDK manager.
  • Install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM) under Extras
  • Install API 19 SDK Platform, Intel x86 Atom System Image, Google APIs If there are any problems viewing or downloading the packages, go to Packages -> Reload and try again.

  • Create a new Android virtual device that uses the Intel image. Note that some apps may have issues when Use Host GPU is enabled or SD cards aren't formatted properly. Set VM Heap to 64. 32 is too small. The emulator is very slow when Use Host GPU is disabled. If you have to disable it then consider testing on a physical device which will be faster.

android avd

$ emulator @android
HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode

  • Launch the emulator with emulator @android

  • After launching the emulator, check that it's listed in adb devices. Run the following commands a few times until it's listed.

adb kill-server; adb devices

If you see error: protocol fault (no status) just keep running the command until the emulator is detected.

  • With both the Android emulator running and the Appium server started, it's time to launch the appium console. Make sure the ENV vars are exported.

  • Start appium console

Troubleshooting

  • If install fails, keep trying to install a few times.

When using Appium.app make sure to set Appium -> Preferences... -> Check "Use External Appium Package" and set it to the path of Appium cloned from GitHub.

Fix permission errors. npm shouldn't require sudo.

brew uninstall node
brew install node
rm -rf ./node_modules # run from the appium folder
rm -rf "/Users/`whoami`/.npm"
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ 
./reset.sh --ios
./reset.sh --android

SSL Issues

Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

$ rvm osx-ssl-certs update all
$ rvm osx-ssl-certs status all

Maven on OS X 10.9

$ cd /usr/local
$ git reset --hard origin/master

$ brew update
$ brew install maven

HAXM on OS X 10.9

Install the HAXM 10.9 hotfix.

Restore dev tools on 10.9

xcode-select --install

Corrupt ruby gems

If you see:

invalid gem: package is corrupt, exception while verifying: undefined method

Then run $ rm -rf ~/.rvm and reinstall RVM.
