appium server v1.2.2 released

[Jonathan Lipps]

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that Appium Server v1.2.2 has been released, with many bugfixes:

https://github.com/appium/appium/releases/tag/v1.2.2

I wanted to point out two bugfixes that might be breaking changes for some users. First of all, sendKeys() no longer erroneously clears out the textfield before typing text into. So if you depended on this erroneous behavior, you might need to add clear() before your sendKeys() call.

Secondly, XPath searches on Android have been pretty broken for a while. We made some changes that should help a lot, including changing our XPath library to a less buggy one, however there's a chance certain XPath selectors might not target the same elements as before. So if you rely heavily on XPath, give things a shot but be aware there might be some changes required.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Another note on sendKeys(); clearing a textfield in Android with hint text doesn't work, so we added a new method---setText()--which will perform the equivalent of clear() + sendKeys() for android hint fields.

Check your client library for more information on how to use this new command.

Hi Jonathan,

Does the windows version is also available? 

Currently running V1.2.0.1 and in the Inspector window record and swipe options are not available. So are they not supported in windows as in Mac or Linux?

Waiting for your reply. Thanks.

Br,

Dipak

I'm currently having version 1.2.1 in my windows 7 system

downloaded source.zip and extracted the zip to folder appium-1.2.2

Now please let me know how to use that folder and update my current version of appium 1.2.1 to newer version of appium 1.2.2 in windows 7

I installed the original version 1.2.1 from npm from node.js

Also please let me know how to update appium to newer version in mac as well

You ought to be able to upgrade using node/npm. Instead of "npm install -g appium", use "npm update -g appium"
