Description

This repo showcases how to integrate Java / TestNG test for Native apps, using Appium with Applitools and execute on Genymotion Cloud

About the tests

• The Test (GenyParallel.java) assumes the following:
  • There are 2 instances of the test running in parallel
  • The port numbers, udid are hard-coded in the test to make the demo easier. But this can / should be externalized for better flexibility / scaling
  • The below instructions (for Genymotion devices) assumes this hard-coded setup. The test infrastructure code should be able to make this dynamic at runtime

Applitools Setup

• Create a free Applitools account: https://applitools.com/free
• Get your Applitools API key: https://help.applitools.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006914732-The-runner-key-API-Key-
• Set the APPLITOOLS_API_KEY environment variable:
  • Mac: export APPLITOOLS_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'
  • Windows: set APPLITOOLS_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'

Genymotion Devices Setup

• Sign up on Genymotion Cloud to create an account

• Setup Genymotion command line tool - gmsaas using the instructions here - https://www.genymotion.com/blog/gmsaas-new-cli-automate-lifecycle-genymotion-cloud, or https://pypi.org/project/gmsaas/

• To check if you are connected to Genymotion Cloud, run

  $ gmsaas auth whoami

  The above should show the username / email of your Genymotion Cloud account

• See list of devices available devices in Genymotion Cloud:

  $ gmsaas recipes list | grep "Pixel 3"

  For this demo, I am going to use Google Pixel 3 devices, so I can narrow the search using the below command:

  $ gmsaas recipes list | grep "Pixel 3"

  143eb44a-1d3a-4f27-bcac-3c40124e2836  Google Pixel 3         9.0        1080 x 2160 dpi 420  genymotion
  e5008049-8394-40fc-b7f8-87fa9f1c305f  Google Pixel 3 XL      9.0        1440 x 2960 dpi 560  genymotion
  

• Start 2 devices

  gmsaas instances start 143eb44a-1d3a-4f27-bcac-3c40124e2836 pixel3
  gmsaas instances start e5008049-8394-40fc-b7f8-87fa9f1c305f pixel3xl
  

  NOTE: The above commands will start a new instance of the devices in Genymotion Cloud. When you see the started devices, make note of the devices' udid. Example:

  $ gmsaas instances list
  UUID                                  NAME      ADB SERIAL      STATE
  ------------------------------------  --------  --------------  -------
  8e70fac5-0dc5-449c-8458-6af6bd09e201  pixel3    0.0.0.0         ONLINE
  3553cc0c-c6cd-48be-99f6-b56fe86a7cb1  pixel3xl  0.0.0.0         ONLINE
  

  NOTE: The UDIDs listed above will keep changing. So do not copy / paste directly.

• You can also see the started instances in Genymotion Cloud Ui - https://cloud.geny.io/app/default-devices

• Establish adb connection with the started instances

  $ gmsaas instances adbconnect --adb-serial-port 5554 <udid1>
  $ gmsaas instances adbconnect --adb-serial-port 5556 <udid2>
  

• You will now see the ADB serial port updated for the device instances.

  $ gmsaas instances list
  UUID                                  NAME      ADB SERIAL      STATE
  ------------------------------------  --------  --------------  -------
  <udid1>                               pixel3    localhost:5554  ONLINE
  <udid2>                               pixel3xl  localhost:5556  ONLINE
  

• You will now be able to see these Genymotion Cloud virtual devices as a local device

  $ adb devices
  List of devices attached
  localhost:5554	device
  localhost:5556	device 
  

Run the Tests

• From command line, start Appium server using the command shown below:

  $ appium -p 4723 &
  

• You can now run the test in parallel and see the test execute in Genymotion Cloud, and see the Visual Testing results in the Applitools Test Manager Dashboard
