AppiumLibrary, RobotFramework. How to increase default new command time out from 60 sec to may be 300 etc.

[Umair Sabzwari]

I am using robotframework and appiumlibrary to automate GUI app on android device.

I noticed that appium always kill the app after 60 sec, from appium logs it shows

> info: [debug] Didn't get a new command in 60 secs, shutting down...

> info: Shutting down appium session

> info: [debug] Pressing the HOME button

> info: [debug] executing cmd: C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe -s 4300bd0401d750db shell "input keyevent 3"

> info: [debug] Stopping logcat capture

> info: [debug] Logcat terminated with code null, signal SIGTERM

> info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Got data from client: {"cmd":"shutdown"}

> info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Got command of type SHUTDOWN

> info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Returning result: {"value":"OK, shutting down","status":0}

> info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Closed client connection

After this my pybot command just hands in there, I have to hit the stop button on appium server manually in order pybot command to return to console normally.

My question is that how to increase new command time out with AppiumLibrary 

I am opening application with the following keyword:

Open Device Portal Samsung Tab 3
    Open Application    http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub    platformName=Android    platformVersion=4.4.2    deviceName=4300bd0401d750db    appPackage=com.xxx.workbench    appActivity=com.com.xxx.workbench.support.WBBrowser
    set appium timeout  2m

Hi Umair,

 

have a look at:

the "--command-timeout" server-flag (http://appium.io/slate/en/v1.2.0/#server-flags) and "newCommandTimeout" capability (http://appium.io/slate/en/v1.2.0/#appium-server-capabilities)

 

cheerio,

Thanks Jari, Since I am new to robotframework how can I set those capabilities through it?

Hi Umair,

 

actually this is not a robotframework thing, those are Appium features:

"--command-timeout" is an Appium command line argument i.e. use it in the command that starts the appium server

"newCommandTimeout" like any other capability = use it when starting the application e.g. "Open Application    http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub    newCommandTimeout=120    platformName=Android  ..."
