In this 'Appium Flutter Java Automation' repo, we have covered the nuances of automating Flutter application testing using the following Appium drivers:

• Appium Flutter Driver
• Appium Flutter Integration Driver

The testing is performed on Real Device Cloud infrastructure provided by TestMu AI

Steps for test execution

Step 1

Fetch the TestMu AI Credentials from the TestMu AI Profile Section section. Export the environment variables LT_USERNAME and LT_ACCESS_KEY by triggering the following commands on the terminal:

For macOS:

export LT_USERNAME=LT_USERNAME
export LT_ACCESS_KEY=LT_ACCESS_KEY

For Linux:

export LT_USERNAME=LT_USERNAME
export LT_ACCESS_KEY=LT_ACCESS_KEY

For Windows:

set LT_USERNAME=LT_USERNAME
set LT_ACCESS_KEY=LT_ACCESS_KEY

Alternatively, update the TestMu AI Credentials - LT_USERNAME and LT_ACCESS_KEY in Makefile.

Step 2

For testing, we have used the open-source Provider Shopper Flutter sample app. The app is built for testing with the Flutter Driver and Flutter Integration Driver respectively.

You can download the Apps from the following locations:

• Provider Shopper Flutter sample app - Flutter Driver
• Provider Shopper Flutter sample app - Flutter Integration Driver

The app needs to be uploaded to the TestMu AI cloud storage. For this, run the following commands on tge terminal for uploading the app:

curl -u "LT_USERNAME:LT_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -X POST "https://manual-api.lambdatest.com/app/upload/realDevice" \
  -F "url=https://pub-b8556f54909d4c829fb7c6761d7284fe.r2.dev/shoppers-app-appium-flutter-driver.apk" \
  -F "name=shoppers-app-appium-flutter-driver.apk" \
  -F "custom_id=sampleName" \
  -F "storage=url" \
  -F "visibility=individual"

curl -u "LT_USERNAME:LT_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -X POST "https://manual-api.lambdatest.com/app/upload/realDevice" \
  -F "url=https://pub-b8556f54909d4c829fb7c6761d7284fe.r2.dev/shoppers-app-appium-flutter-integration-driver.apk" \
  -F "name=shoppers-app-appium-flutter-integration-driver.apk" \
  -F "custom_id=sampleName" \
  -F "storage=url" \
  -F "visibility=individual"

If the command execution is successful, you would see a APP ID in the command output:

You would also see the respective app in the App Live App Dashboard

Now that both the apps are uploaded to the TestMu AI cloud storage, retrieve the App ID by clicking on the Settings button next to uploaded app:

Next, update the App ID in the test files:

• Flutter Driver Test Code
• Flutter Integration Driver Test Code

Step 3

Run the make clean command on the terminal to clean the temporary files

make clean

Run the make build command on the terminal to build the automation project

make build

Step 4 - Automation with Appium Flutter Integration Driver

Trigger the command make flutter-integration-driver-test to test Flutter app on the TestMu AI cloud grid using the Appium Flutter Integration Driver.

Navigate to the TestMu AI Automation Dashboard to check the status of the test execution.

Step 5 - Automation with Appium Flutter Driver

Trigger the command make flutter-driver-test to test Flutter app on the TestMu AI cloud grid using the Appium Flutter Driver.

Navigate to the TestMu AI Automation Dashboard to check the status of the test execution.
