Appium parallel execution with different servers

I am unable to automate my tests parallelly in an Android platform with multiple mobile devices.

If I connect 2 devices to my system and provide capabilities like mobile device Name and version, It is executing in the device which is recognized first through ADB.

If try to start the appium servers with different ports,

new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingAnyFreePort() I am getting Null pointer Exception.
[36minfo[39m: Appium REST http interface listener started on 0.0.0.0:2583
[36minfo[39m: [debug] Non-default server args: {"port":2583}

1) How to override session with AppiumServiceBuilder()

2) How to Restrict appium to execute on the device which is provided with capabilities, even 2 or more devices are connected.

My Code:

public class ApiumMain {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Thread( new Device_Thread( "4897bb00", "6.0.1" ) ).start();
        // new Thread( new Device_Thread( "TA64301YVY", "5.0.1" ) ).start();
    }
}
public class Device_Thread extends ApiumMain implements Runnable {

    public String mobileDeviceName;
    public String androidVersion;

    public Device_Thread( String mobile, String version ) {
        mobileDeviceName = mobile;
        androidVersion   = version;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        String hsotMachineIP = "127.0.0.1";
        Integer seleniumProt = 4723; /*Default {"port":4723}*/

        String nodeJSExecutable = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Appium\\node.exe";
        String appiumJS = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Appium\\node_modules\\appium\\bin\\appium.js";
        Integer nodeJSPort = (int)( Math.random() * 8000 ) + 1000;

        startAppium(nodeJSExecutable, nodeJSPort, appiumJS, mobileDeviceName, androidVersion, hsotMachineIP, seleniumProt);
    }

    public void startAppium(String nodeJSExecutable, int nodeJSPort, String appiumJS, 
            String mobileDeviceName, String androidVersion, String hsotMachineIP, int seleniumProt ) {

        RemoteWebDriver driver = null;
        String appURL = "http://www.w3schools.com/";

        // http://appium.io/slate/en/master/?java#appium-server-capabilities
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("automationName",    "Appium" );
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName",      "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion",   androidVersion );
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName",        mobileDeviceName );
        capabilities.setCapability("app",               "chrome");
        capabilities.setCapability("browserName",       "chrome");
        capabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", "0");
        // ANDROID ONLY   
        /*capabilities.setCapability("appActivity",     "com.android");
        capabilities.setCapability("appPackage",        ".ApiumMain");
        */

        // Appium servers are nothing but the Node.js server
        AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(
                    new AppiumServiceBuilder()
                    .usingDriverExecutable( new File( nodeJSExecutable ) )
                    .withAppiumJS( new File( appiumJS ) )
                );

        service.start();        
        System.out.println( "Device : " + mobileDeviceName );

        try {
            String url = String.format("http://%s:%d/wd/hub", hsotMachineIP, seleniumProt);
            System.out.println(" Server Address : " + url );
            driver = new RemoteWebDriver( new URL( url ), capabilities );

            driver.get( appURL );
            browserActions( driver, appURL );

        }catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            driver.quit();
            service.stop();
        }
    }
    private void browserActions(RemoteWebDriver driver, String appURL) {

        try {
            WebElement ele = driver.findElementByXPath("//body/div[4]/div[1]/div[1]/a[1]");
            ele.click();

            WebElement ele2 = driver.findElementByXPath("//*[@id='topnav']/div[1]/div[1]/a[2]");
            ele2.click();

            System.in.read();
            System.in.read();
        } catch (ElementNotVisibleException logMsg){
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
    }

Running multiple Appium sessions with different Server flags for Parallel Android Tests

Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on IOS and Android platforms.

Appium client libraries wraps around Selenium client libraries with some extra commands added to controlling mobile devices

  • Client: The machine on which the WebDriver[HTTP Client] API is being used to communicate with server through commands. Appium Client implements the "Mobile JSONWP" to extend "JSONWP". The Mobile JSONWP is for automation of native and hybrid mobile applications and JSONWP is for automating web-browser applications.

Commands:Each HTTP request with a method and template defined in this specification represents a single command and therefore each command produces a single HTTP response. Client initiates a session with server using desired capabilities via JSON. Based on the browser session ID and Selenium remoteServerAddress the communication takes place through Http Rest API.

Selenium Source of HTTP Client:

HttpClient.Factory httpClientFactory = new ApacheHttpClient.Factory();
HttpClient client = httpClientFactory.createClient(remoteServerAddress);

HttpRequest httpRequest = commandCodec.encode(command);
HttpResponse httpResponse = client.execute(httpRequest, true);
Response response = responseCodec.decode(httpResponse);
  • Server: Before starting any mobile tests you must start the servers like RemoteWebDriver & Appium|NodeJS. AppiumServer - REST API written in Node.js SeleniumRCServer - The Selenium server receives Selenium commands from your test program using HTTP GET/POST requests, interprets and executes those commands, and reports back the results to your program.

Connect couple of android devices to the system and run below adb shell commands

Q1 - Ans: To override a session with AppiumServiceBuilder use this argument "GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE". presence of an arguments means "true"

Q2 - Ans: If we are not providing UDID (OR) RemoteAddress then Driver will connect to first device which is detected by ADB. If we want to restrict appium to connect specific named physical device in the list of connected devices use UDID-Unique device identifier.
