AppiumBase

• AppiumBase is a complete framework for Mobile Application automation and testing with pytest.
• The API simplifies Appium's out-of-the-box API, leading to cleaner, maintainable code.
• Includes advanced features such as Auto start appium server, Strong Base Class and cloud providers support.

Install AppiumBase:

You can easily install AppiumBase from pypi:

pip install appiumbase

Type appiumbase to verify that AppiumBase was installed successfully.

Creating a Capability File for Test Cases:

You need to specify desired capabilities to run your tests. Here is an example of capability file for android.

desired_cap = {
  "appPackage": "com.your.app",
  "appActivity": "com.yourapp.MainActivity",
  "platformName": "Android",
  "platformVersion": "12",
  "deviceName": "MyDeviceName",
  "udid": "123456"
}

You can save the capability file either in py or in the json file.

Running Your Test Case

Run your test case with the following command

pytest --cap-file=desired_cap.py

AppiumBase supports running your test cases on LambdaTest and BrowserStack. We need to pass --lt for LambdaTest and --bs for BrowserStack.

Example:

pytest --lt --cap-file=desired_cap_lt.py

pytest --bs --cap-file=desired_cap_bs.py

Capability files example for LambdaTest and BrowserStack

desired_cap = {
    "user": "your_username",
    "accessKey": "your_access_key",
    "app": "lt://APPID",
    "platformName": "Android",
    "deviceName": "Google Pixel 3",
