Run an automatic test on Android with Appium + TestNG + Eclipse

Question

I'm a beginner with automatic tests and Appium specifically, and I'm trying to a test (for android).

I downloaded:

1. Appium - ran the server

2. Android emulator (Android Virtual Device Manager)

3. TestNG

The purpose of the test is adding a contact to the contact list.

Does anyone know what I am missing?

The test:

package com.appium;

import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.List;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterSuite;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite;

public class One {

    private AppiumDriver driver;

    @BeforeSuite
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        //driver.launchApp();

        // set up appium
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Nexus5");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformV01ersion", "4.1.2");
        capabilities.setCapability("appPackage",
            "com.example.android.contactmanager");
        capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", ".ContactManager");
        driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),
                capabilities);
    }

    @Test
    public void addContact() {
        WebElement el = driver.findElement(By.name("Add Contact"));
        el.click();
        List<WebElement> textFieldsList = driver
                .findElementsByClassName("android.widget.EditText");
        textFieldsList.get(0).sendKeys("Some Name");
        textFieldsList.get(2).sendKeys("Some@example.com");
        driver.swipe(100, 500, 100, 100, 2);
        driver.findElementByName("Save").click();
    }

    @AfterSuite
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        driver.quit();
    }

}

Answer 1

I got this error.

It occurred as I pressed the 'run' button in Eclipse but the correct way to run a TestNG test suite is as follows:

Right Click on testng.xml
Run as > TestNG Suite

I understand this is an old question however I hope this helps

Answer 2

Please add the following dependency to your project

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.2</version>
</dependency>

Also please download the Selenium-server-standalone.jar from here and add to the class path. Please see this link for more details.
