WebDriver Commands and Functions for Mobile Device Testing

You can use WebDriver commands and functions to automate both iOS and Android mobile devices. The free iOS Gateway is required to automate iOS devices. For Android testing, you'll need Appium server and a few other components.

New Feature: Mobile WebDriver testing is available in Eggplant Functional 18.1.2 and later. WebDriver testing of iOS devices requires and iOS Gateway 5.1.2 and later.

In mobile WebDriver testing, connections are made to a specific app rather than to a browser on your system under test (SUT). Testing with WebDriver is based around interacting with various elements in the app you're testing.

Closedコード構文フォーマット

本ドキュメント全体を通じて、以下の基準を構文ボックス内のコード要素を定義するのに使用します。

  • 太字：正確に入力する必要がある必須の単語
  • イタリック：式または変数要素
  • 角括弧[ ]：選択肢のオプションを囲むのに使用します。角括弧内ではいずれか1つのリストを利用できますが、必ず1アイテムを使用する必要があります。リスト内のオプションは縦棒|で区切られます。
  • 波括弧{ }：オプションの要素を囲むのに使用します。オプション要素には選択肢を含めることができ、リスト内のアイテムは縦棒|で区切られます。

最初の例では、オプションを示す波括弧の中に一連の選択肢に加えて要素が含まれるため、角括弧が使用されています。 2例目では、2番目の選択肢全体がオプションであるため、（2番目の選択肢に対して）角括弧が省略されています。

WebElement Identifiers

To access a WebElement within the app you're testing, such as when using the FindElement() function or the Click command with a WebDriver connection, you must specify the element you want to interact with. The following WebElement Identifiers can be used to locate elements on a mobile device:

  • webID: Use this property to locate an element by the value of its ID attribute.
  • webName: Use this property to locate an element by the value of its Name attribute.
  • webClassName: Use this property to locate an element by the value of its Class attribute.
  • webXPath: Use this property to locate an element by using an XPath expression. For information about XPath and XPath expressions, see XPath in Selenium WebDriver: Complete Tutorial.
  • webAccessibilityID: Use this property to locate an element by the value of its Accessibility ID attribute.

WebConnect Command

Note: This code definition explains the use of the WebConnect command for mobile WebDriver connections. For information about using this command for browser-based WebDriver connections, see WebDriver Actions: WebConnect Command.

Behavior: This command makes a connection to a specified app on a mobile device.

Parameters: The WebConnect command can take the following parameters:

  • host: (Required) For mobile device connections, this is always localhost.
  • port: (Required) The port number over which to create a mobile WebDriver connection. The default port for iOS connections is 8100. The default port for Android connections is 4723.
  • name: (Optional) A name to use for referring to this connection. If specified, this is the name that appears in the Connection List.
  • platformName: (Required) The operating system of the mobile device.
  • bundleId: (iOS only. Required.) The identifier of the mobile app you want to open and test. This parameter is case-sensitive.
  • device: (Android only. Required.) The ID number of the device. This can be found by entering adb devices in the command line.
  • appPackage: (Android only. Required.) The identifier of the mobile app you want to open and test. This parameter is case-sensitive.
  • appActivity: (Android only. Required.) The screen in the app that you want the app to open on. This parameter is case-sensitive.
  • automationName: (Android only. Required.) The automation engine to use to test the device.

Syntax:

WebConnect host: "hostAddress", port: "port", {name: "connectionName"} {, platformName: "value"} {, bundleId: "value"} {, device: "value"} {, appPackage: "value"} {, appActivity: "value"} {, automationName: "value"}

例：

WebConnect host:"localhost", port:"8100", platformName: "iOS", bundleId: "com.apple.Maps"

例：

WebConnect host: "localhost", port: "4723", platformName: "Android", device: "04157df49c1d0533", deviceName: "Android", appPackage: "com.google.android.apps.maps", appActivity: "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity", automationName: "UIAutomator2"

WebDisconnect Command

Note: This code definition explains the use of the WebDisconnect command for mobile WebDriver connections. For information about using this command for browser-based WebDriver connections, see WebDriver Actions: WebDisconnect Command.

Behavior: This command disconnects WebDriver connections.

Parameters: None, a connection name, or All. If you do not specify any parameters, the active WebDriver disconnects. Use WebDisconnect with a specific connection name to close that connection, or use All to close all active connections.

Syntax:

WebDisconnect {connectionName | All}

例：

WebDisconnect // Disconnects the active WebDriver connection

例：

WebDisconnect All // Disconnects all WebDriver connections

例：

webDisconnect "iphone7"// Disconnects the WebDriver connection named "iphone7"

WebDriver() Function

Note: This code definition explains the use of the WebDriver() function for mobile WebDriver connections. For information about using this function for browser-based WebDriver connections, see WebDriver Actions: WebDriver() Function.

Behavior: By default, the function returns properties for the active WebDriver connection (if there is one). You can include parameters as specified below to switch to a different open connection (if available) or open a new connection.

When opening a new connection or switching the active connection, the WebDriver() function performs the same actions as the WebConnect command.

Parameters: The WebDriver() function can take the following parameters:

  • host: (Required) For mobile device connections, this is always localhost.
  • port: (Required) The port number over which to create a mobile WebDriver connection. The default port for iOS connections is 8100. The default port for Android connections is 4723.

  • name: (Optional) A name to use for referring to this connection. If specified, this is the name that appears in the Connection List.

  • platformName: (Required) The operating system of the mobile device.
  • bundleId: (iOS only. Required.) The identifier of the mobile app you want to open and test. This parameter is case-sensitive.
  • device: (Android only. Required.) The ID number of the device. This can be found by entering adb devices in the command line.
  • appPackage: (Android only. Required.) The identifier of the mobile app you want to open and test. This parameter is case-sensitive.
  • appActivity: (Android only. Required.) The screen in the app that you want the app to open on. This parameter is case-sensitive.
  • automationName: (Android only. Required.) The automation engine to use to test the device.

Syntax:

WebDriver (host: hostAddress, port: port, {name: "connectionName"} {, name: "value"} {, platformName: "value"} {, bundleId: "value"} {, device: "value"} {, appPackage: "value"} {, appActivity: "value"} {, automationName: "value"} )

Returns: If you call the WebDriver() function without parameters, it returns the WebDriverConnection object of the active WebDriver connection.

If you open a WebDriver connection with the WebDriver() function, it returns the WebDriverConnection object for the newly created WebDriver connection.

例：

put WebDriver() // Returns information about the active WebDriver connection: <WebDriverConnection with Name:"iphone6plus", PlatformName:"iOS", Host:"localhost", BundleID:"com.testplant.YetAnotherSampleApp">

例：

set driver to WebDriver(host:"localhost", port: "8100", platformName: "iOS", bundleId: "com.testplant.YetAnotherSampleApp")

例：

set driver to WebDriver(host: "localhost", port: "4723", platformName: "Android", appPackage:"com.google.android.apps.maps", appActivity:"com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity", automationName:"UIAutomator2")
