[Siva Rapaka]

HI,
I use Uiautomator to write automated test cases for my apps. One MAJOR issue that i am facing on one the apps that i am working is with WEBVIEWS like getting text from a web view e.t.c; , Curious to know will appium slove this problem on android ..

[Jonathan Lipps]

Siva,

We are working on supporting webviews for Android, but are still in the research stages. We will definitely announce when that changes as it's a big priority for us as well.

Hi Jonathan,

Where can we find updates on , where we are with the WebView support for Android. I need it for my test ASAP as well :)

Thanks

Mugil

[Jonathan Lipps]

Webview support in android landed with selendroid integration. You can use selendroid by specifying "selendroid" as your device after running `./reset.sh --selendroid`. Instructions for getting into webview mode for selendroid are shown in this pull request: https://github.com/appium/appium/pull/463

[Sujata Joshi]

Hello Jonathan,
I am also automating Android hybrid app. And for which I need to switch to web view and back. I followed the instructions you have given to install selendroid ( ./reset selendroid)
Also replaced my device with 'selendroid' in the desired capabilities. Also run appium using command - node server.js - V
But when I try to run my test it is not working. Here is the error I can see in the log.-

Do you have maven installed? Selendroid tries to run mvn install.

[Jonathan Lipps]

Also have you run

./reset.sh --selendroid

? It grabs the selendroid submodule. If you don't have it it will fail to build selendroid with a file not found error just like the one you're seeing

[Mugil]

Thank You for all the help!!

I have the selendroid submodules now. But ran into a build failure error on executing my test

[Mugil]

Yes. I see the same error even after running ./reset.sh --selendroid

Did you try:

sudo ANDROID_HOME=$ANDROID_HOME ./reset.sh --selendroid

[Mugil]

I just did and still the same errors.

[bootstrap online]

Does this file exist?

/Users/eparamasivam/Workspace/Appium/appium/submodules/selendroid/selendroid-server/target/generated-sources/r/org/openqa/selendroid/R.java
If it exists then you may have to adjust permissions. If it doesn't exist then selendroid isn't building properly.

[Mugil]

target/generated-sources/r/org/openqa/selendroid/R.java 

does not exists

What could be going wrong? Any idea? Have others faced similar issue?

[Sujata Joshi]

After I installed selendroid using ./reset --selendroid, I am still getting error. It is not able to build the selendroid server for my package.

Hello,
I am using maven 3.0.3. And also downloaded latest Appium version (0.3.1).

[bootstrap online]

I'm using Maven 3.0.3 also. I run appium from source though and don't use the npm release.

[Jonathan Lipps]

I just upgraded selendroid, might be worth trying again.

[Sujata Joshi]

Hello Jonathan,
I just installed the latest version of Appium and tried running my test case using device as selendroid, but am still getting exactly same error, I posted here before.

It's working for me running Appium from GitHub.

[Sujata Joshi]

Do you mean you downloaded source code of appium from git and then it is working for you?
Because I just downloaded just .dmg that is offered on the home page 'appium.io'

[bootstrap online]

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

cd appium; ./reset.sh

node server.js -V --fast-reset --without-delay

[Jonathan Lipps]

There was a bug in running selendroid due to a version mismatch. If you update or pull code from master it should work now.

[Simon Howlett]

Seem to be past that error now, thanks guys. super quick turnaround as well. 

[Sujata Joshi]

I cloned the appium to my machine and then run ./reset.sh, But I am getting following error-

Is git installed?

git --version

[Sujata Joshi]

Yes it is installed.

[Sujata Joshi]

I reinstalled git with latest version and then clone the appium.
After running ./reset.sh now am getting follwing error-

IF you're just trying to get android to work, run

./reset.sh --android

otherwise you need XCode and the iOS sdks installed

[Sujata Joshi]

Hello,
I just now downloaded the latest version 1.6.3 and also appium 0.4.0. And run my test case again.
Now I can see the error message.

It is not able to find selendroid-server's pom.xml. It is finding this file under -
Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/selendroid/selendroid-server/pom.xml

But actually file is located at -
Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/submodules/selendroid/selendroid-server/pom.xml


-Sujata

[Jonathan Lipps]

Did you run ./reset.sh --selendroid?

[Sujata Joshi]

Yes I did.

[Jonathan Lipps]

These paths have changed in a lot of recent commits. Dan, any thoughts?

It might be as simple as re-downloading and installing Appium.app with the latest Appium code under the hood

[Dan Cuellar]

Yeah, you'll probably need to cd to Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium and build selendroid. How about I start running reset.sh after I do the package update? Jonathan, do you think that would solve the problem

[Jonathan Lipps]

This has all been revamped recently. There are now a few ways to initialize appium:

1) from source: run reset.sh

2) from npm: run npm install appium (this now comes with the binaries pre-built, no reset.sh required)

3) manually copying .appiumconfig and build/ from a project that already has them

So Dan you have your choice of how you want to get .appiumconfig and build/ into Appium.app. Running reset.sh is probably the easiest way. It works much nicer now and doesn't install dev dependencies or rely on global grunt-cli unless you specify --dev.

In the appium server logs, is it able to resign your apk successfully?

[Sujata Joshi]

Where can I find 'appium server logs'?. The log trace I have pasted the errors displayed on the appium.app application.

[bootstrap online]

appium.app prints the server logs. There should be information about
app signed or not signed. Post the full output to a gist on GitHub and
I'll take a look. The SecurityException error only happens if the apk
was not successfully resigned.

[Sujata Joshi]

Ok, I got it. So it is the same place where I am looking.
And I have pasted the whole log trace above from appium logs.

[bootstrap online]

You should see something like this:
debug: Checking app cert for …
debug: App already signed.
debug: Checking app cert for …
debug: App already signed.

Maybe try running appium from source.

[Sujata Joshi]

I have created the glist on github, containing full log trace. Please have a look.

[bootstrap online]

Where is the link?

[Sujata Joshi]

oops,

Here is the link-
https://gist.github.com/skjoshi/5550454

[bootstrap online]

Try running: java -jar verify.jar my.apk

https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/app/android/verify.jar?raw=true

According to the log, the app is signed so there shouldn't be a problem.

[Vish Janmanchi]

Hi Jonathan,

Is there any update about webview support (non-selendroid) ? 

Thanks

webview support in uiautomator will not be anytime soon because it
depends on Google updating the framework. See this GTAC 2013 video for
details.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1u8iBLUFL0

[Jonathan Lipps]

Webview support will be possible on new devices when we get Chrome-backed webviews in Android rather than Browser-backed webviews. Then we'll be able to circle round UiAutomator's limitations completely.

Not sure of the ETA on this though.

[Vish Janmanchi]

Thanks for the info. Let's hope things fall in place for this soon.

[Shu Chen]

Hi, 

did your issue get resolved? I met the same issue that the selendriod  I get from appium says 

not allowed because package com.amazon.mShop.android.selendroid does not have a signature matching the target

[Joel Miele]

I ran into this issue.  I fixed it by uninstalling the application from the emulator/device, and then running my test, which reinstalled the application on the device.

Why are you starting the server with node server.js -V? -V is not a valid flag.

[Jonathan Lipps]

I'm not sure why that's happening, but as I don't have Windows I'm not sure how to debug it. I would start by googling the ADB error listed in the logs and seeing if that provides any insight.

Hi,

Is anybody knows how to access webview elements for ruby using Uiautomator  and Selendroid?

Thanks,

Swapnil

[Aniket Gadre]

AFAIK uiautomator doesn't support webviews...you need to use selendriod

Hi Aniket,

I'm using emulator with version 4.3 also the same error on emulator with version 2.3.3

require 'rspec'

absulute_path =  'C:\Users\Vertis\Desktop\appiumOS\os.apk'#'http://shared.ooyala.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Appium/ContactManager.apk'

capabilities = {

'browserName' => 'Selendroid',

    'platform' => 'WINDOW',

'device' => 'Selendroid',

    'app' => absulute_path,

    'app-package' => 'com.vertis.mobility',

    'app-activity' => '.ActivationActivity'

  }

server_url = 'http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub'

describe "Contact" do

  before :all do

    @driver ||= Selenium::WebDriver.for(

      :remote,

      :url => server_url,

    )

@driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 10 # seconds

uninstall app from device/emulator, delete the signed app...it gets stored somewhere in temp I guess, rebuild selendroid with reset.bat --selendroid

then check if you still face error

I'm using windows 7 (64) bit . When I tried run "reset.bat --selendroid" on command prompt as well as on git bash it shows 'run' command not found.

So i have doble clicked on reset.bat file present under my appium-master folder in downloads.

It reset so many things. I have also removed temp selendroid apk also app from device but still

encountered with issue

run is not part of command...command is just reset.bat --selendroid .It won't reset selendroid if its not executed with selendroid flag. if you double click and run it will run with --android flag by default

[Swapnil Kotwal]

Got some thing which is not as per our expectation :(

Thanks Aniket for your patients.

Instead of git clone, I have downloaded appium from git, so it was causing   fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git error.

I'm able to run reset.bat --selendroid successfully.

I have installed Java, mvn also set environment variable properly(I'm sure for this).

But still mvn --version command through 

ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory. error

I googled it but still unable to resolve this issues.

Do you have any idea about it ?

Thanks.

I have also uninstalled the application from the emulator and executed the Appium Test case which installed the app again (meanwhile I have created the apk again with default debug keystore). It executed well without the Security Exception.

Hope this helps.

how to run ./reset.sh on windows?

Also have you run

./reset.sh --selendroid

? It grabs the selendroid submodule. If you don't have it it will fail to build selendroid with a file not found error just like the one you're seeing

Do you have maven installed? Selendroid tries to run mvn install.
