Mobile Safari on Real Device. Almost works :) Help in final steps.

[Matthew Dunn]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to setup ios-driver to work on a real device for testing on mobile safari etc...

The steps I have done are as follow's

1. Plugin a ios iphone with web inspector turned on.

2. Run IOS-server 

java -jar ios-server-standalone-0.6.6-SNAPSHOT.jar -beta

3. Execute the following code.

                DesiredCapabilities safari = IOSCapabilities.iphone("Safari"); 

        safari.setCapability(IOSCapabilities.SIMULATOR, false);

        safari.setCapability(IOSCapabilities.UUID, "d835ed39ee5a71f551464f86641859df360b1f79"); 

        System.out.println(safari.toString());

        RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://10.30.9.48:5555/wd/hub"), safari);

        Thread.sleep(5000);

        driver.get("http://www.crossfitgames.com/");

        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

        Thread.sleep(1000);

        driver.get("http://www.bbc.com/");

        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

        Thread.sleep(1000);

        driver.get("http://www.crossfitgames.com/");

        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

        Thread.sleep(1000);

        driver.get("http://www.bt.com/");

        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

        Thread.sleep(1000);

        driver.get("http://www.bbc.com/");

        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

        Thread.sleep(1000);

        driver.get("http://www.crossfitgames.com/");

        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

        Thread.sleep(1000);

        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

        driver.quit();

Now this doesn't work and in the log on the server i get the following.

However if I do the same steps but with the safari browser open on the device it works fine. Is there a way in code to get it to launch safari? Ideally if would be good to have the safari launched by the ios-driver. Is there a missing step that i am missing?

Your help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Mathew,
Could you please show me how to set "a ios iphone with web inspector"?
I'm trying to research how to do test a web on real iOS device.
I'm able to do this on simulator already but device doesnt work for me.
Please support me via: trie...@spiraledge.com

[Matthew Dunn]

Hi Trieu,

If on the iphone you go to settings > safari> advanced > web inspector 

You can turn it on and off there. :)

Hope that helps.

Hi Matthew,
Were you able to launch the safari through code. Even I'm facing the same issue

Thanks,
Vikas

[Matthew Dunn]

You have to leave Safari open and running at the momment. I belive they are working on a way of resolving this so you can launch it but at the momment this is the work around.

Thanks Matthew. For time being we will do it with safari open :)

[Matthew Dunn]

Looks like they have managed to start safari up now on real devices :) Tried this yesterday with latest code and it now launches Safari :)

[vikas.kri...@gmail.com]

Thanks a lot Mathew for the information :). I will check with the latest jar and let you know. Once again thanks mate.

Thanks and Regards,
Vikas

Hi Mathew just now i have tried executing my script but i see the safari is not launching and ended with an exception. Could please let me know which jar you are using

Thanks,
Vikas

HI can you please specify what can be done using c#, we cannot include the ios-server in c# language. I am using IOS- server and IOS grid - plugin to run the c# code on real device

[vikas.kri...@gmail.com]

Hi Shashidhar,

I believe there is no .dll file to refer in visual studio. I searched it through but ended up writing code in java.

[vikas.kri...@gmail.com]

Hi Mathew,

I'm still not able to launch the safari browser. Could you please let me know how have you done. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Vikas

Hi Matt,

In my experience it works on physical devices on iOS7 but not iOS8. If I ever get it working on iOS8, I'll submit a pull request t Francoise with the changes.
