This repository demonstrates how to run Appium tests using Python on BrowserStack App Automate.

Setup

Requirements

1. Python 3.6+ or Python 2.7+

   • If Python is not installed, follow these instructions:
     • For Windows, download latest python version from here and run the installer executable
     • For Mac and Linux, run python --version to see what python version is pre-installed. If you want a different version download from here

2. Package Manager pip

   Note : pip comes installed with Python 2.7.9+ and python 3.4+

   • If pip is not installed, follow these instructions:

     • Securely download get-pip.py by following this link: get-pip.py or use following cURL command to download it:

     curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

     • After dowloading, run the file :

       • For Python 3

         python3 get-pip.py

       • For Python 2

         python2 get-pip.py

Install the dependencies

To install the dependencies for Android tests, run :

• For Python 3

  pip3 install -r android/requirements.txt

• For Python 2

  pip2 install -r android/requirements.txt

Or,

To install the dependencies for iOS tests, run :

• For Python 3

  pip3 install -r ios/requirements.txt

• For Python 2

  pip2 install -r ios/requirements.txt

Getting Started

Getting Started with Appium tests in Python on real BrowserStack devices couldn't be easier!

Run first test :

• Switch to run-first-test directory under Android examples or iOS examples

• Follow the steps outlined in the documentation Getting Started with your first test on App Automate

Speed up test execution with parallel testing :

• Switch to run-prarallel-tests directory under Android examples or iOS examples

• Follow the steps outlined in the documentation Getting Started with Parallel testing on App Automate

Use Local testing for apps that access resources hosted in development or testing environments :

• Switch to run-local-test directory under Android examples or iOS examples

• Follow the steps outlined in the documentation Getting Started with Local testing on App Automate

Note: If you face any issues, refer Getting Help section

Integration with other python frameworks

For other Python frameworks samples, refer to following repositories :

• Behave
• Lettuce
