Help required: New to iOS automation

[Ayushi Agarwal]

Hello,

I am new to iOS automation and was getting started with Calabash. I have few queries:

I am unable to find is there any IDE to record, play and create calabash script. Also a tool to debug my scripts.

Thanks

Ayushi

You have to write your own scripts with the help of console using cucumber if you using Ruby,

AFAIK there is no IDE to record/create scripts directly.

For more check the wiki[1]

Thanks Mayank for quick response.

So as per my understanding writing script should be some what similar to writing a text file and saving it with the ".feature" extension... but I am not sure how can I debug my script in case of failure.

[Krukow]

There is no recording of test scripts, and we believe strongly that this approach leads to unmaintainable code bases and poor test script quality, duplication etc.

However, there is a very good IDE called RubyMine which is great for ruby (debugging, code-completion, jump-to-definition, refactoring etc) and they're building in support for Calabash directly in the IDE (although I don't know the status of that).

As soon as we manage to finish the Frank-Calabash integration you'll also get the symbiote tool which is very useful.

thanks Karl...

I'll explore Ruby Mine for writing test script so can you please forward me some helpful links for using Calabash and ruby mine apart from your own calabash-ios wiki...

[Krukow]

I'm afraid I don't have any links. I've been wanting to do a tools blog post for some time, but not had time...

[Ayushi Agarwal]

One more query please, I am unable to run the script in Ruby Mine. It is showing function undefined although I am able to meta-point (jump to definition).

I already added the Gemfile.

Can you please help me...

Thanks

Ayushi

Maybe I can but you'll have to give a much more detailed description of the error, the code and the exact error messages

Hey I don't remember the exact error message (can attach tomo morning). I was basically trying to run the sample script only:

Feature: Running a test

  As an iOS developer

  I want to have a sample feature file

  So I can begin testing quickly

  Scenario: 

Given I am on the Welcome Screen 

Then I swipe left

And I wait until I don't see "Please swipe left" 

And take picture   

When I am mouse click on any of the step like : "I am on the Welcome Screen" it is opening the step definition but when i am running the script from Ruby mine it is showing error as step undefined.

[Krukow]

You'll need to configure RubyMine to run the script using Calabash.

I'll find the details soon and post here.

Thanks Karl, I will be really helpful if you can post the steps asap.

Thanks

Hi Ayushi,
Thanks for raising these questions.. I am also new to calabash, ruby and iOS programming and hence your queries are important to me as well . I have automated the app given in the iOS example (given by Karl)with some predefined steps and its amazing.
