Appium not running iOS test in terminal.

[Robert-Hein Hooijmans]

Hi guys, I am trying to run my first_test.js on an iOS .app and get this error:

$ node /Users/admin/Desktop/TSAutomations/Tests/first_test.js

/Users/admin/node_modules/wd/node_modules/q/q.js:126 
throw e;
^
Error: [init({"appium-version":"1.2.2","platformName":"iOS","platformVersion":"7.1","deviceName":"iPad Retina","app":"/Users/admin/Desktop/testapp.app"})] The environment you requested was unavailable.

My test looks like this:

"use strict";

var wd = require("wd");

var chai = require("chai");

var chaiAsPromised = require("chai-as-promised");

chai.use(chaiAsPromised);

chai.should();

chaiAsPromised.transferPromiseness = wd.transferPromiseness;

var desired = {

"appium-version": "1.2.2",

platformName: "iOS",

platformVersion: "7.1",

deviceName: "iPad Retina",

app: "/Users/admin/Desktop/testapp.app",

};

var browser = wd.promiseChainRemote("0.0.0.0", 4723);

browser.init(desired).then(function() {

return browser

.elementByXPath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIAScrollView[1]/UIAWebView[1]/UIATextField[1]").click()

.fin(function() {

return browser.quit();

});

}).done();

I am running Appium v1.2.2 and Node v0.10.31 in the terminal on a mac.

Can somebody please point out to me what's wrong here?

I would use "127.0.0.1" instead of "0.0.0.0" as the local ip. If that doesn't work, what comes up in the server logs?

I'm having the same or a similar issue.

I've had fine success running my tests using the Appium OS X app, but unable to run when the server is launched from the command line.

I'm passing these parameters to the server when launching it:

--orientation

-U (udid)

--app

--platform-name

--platform-version

--device-name

My test looks like this (I threw in some logs to debug it):

"use strict";

var wd = require("wd");

var desired = {

  platformName: "iOS",

  platformVersion: "7.1.1",

  deviceName: "iPad",

  udid: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

  app: "/Users/gvtest/Documents/branches/gvp/mobile/ios/build/Release-iphoneos/TestApp.app"

};

describe("Login", function() {

  var driver;

  beforeEach(function(done) {

    driver = wd.promiseChainRemote("127.0.0.1", 4723);

    driver.init(desired, function(err, sessionId, caps) {

      console.log("err: " + err);

      done();

    });

  }, 60000);

  afterEach(function() {

    driver.quit();

  });

  it("can enter text in user name field", function(done) {

    console.log("waitForElementByXPath");

    driver.waitForElementByXPath('//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIAScrollView[1]/UIAWebView[1]/UIATextField[1]', 20000, function(err, element) {

      console.log("err: " + err);

      console.log("TouchAction");

      var action = new wd.TouchAction(driver);

      action

        .tap({element: element, x: 10, y: 10})

        .release();

      action

        .perform();

      driver.sleep(5000);

      console.log("sendKeys");

      expect(element

        .sendKeys('TEST').sleep(5000)

        .getValue()).toEqual('TEST');

      console.log("end");

      done();

    });

  }, 60000);

});

I'm running this on a real device, again which I've had no problem doing using the app.

Here's the server output:

[Isaac Murchie]

Have you run reset.sh? There is a new dependency, "deviceconsole", which needs to be built. With it, log capture in iOS ought to be much more reliable.

[Jeff Fate]

I haven't. I installed it via npm so don't believe I have that file...?

[Isaac Murchie]

Hmm. The file ought to be built in the publish process. I will look into it.

In the meantime, you can go into build/deviceconsole and run `make`.
