Running Appium Android TestNG on AWS Device Farm

To run appium-project on AWS Device Farm, the pre-requisite is to not to set desired capabilities in the appium project. As suggested in the training video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWAUAerFB6s.

If I don't set the capabilities, test fail on my local with error "A new session could not be created. Details: The desiredCapabilities object was not valid for the following reason(s): deviceName can't be blank."

If tests fail zip-with-dependencies.zip wont be created.

Note: if I set desired capabilities in appium-project, tests are failing on AWS device farm.

In order to create zip-with-dependencies.zip you can skip tests:

Go to command line and run this command

mvn clean package -DskipTests=true

After you get a BUILD SUCCESS message, check your target directories for zip-with-dependencies.zip file.

Apologies that you are running into issues. We've published a sequence of blogs posts that show you how to construct Appium tests to run in AWS Device Farm. In particular, Device Farm does not want you to set DesiredCapabilities except for the URL.

@BeforeMethod public void setUp() throws Exception { DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); URL url = new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"); driver = new RemoteWebDriver(url, capabilities); }
