Setup

---

Sauce Labs setup

1. Free Sauce account
2. Make sure you know how to find your Sauce Labs Username and Access Key by going to the Sauce Labs user settings page

---

Appium setup

1. We will run our automated tests on Sauce Labs devices; therefore, there is no need to install Appium Server.
2. Please install appium inspector. Appium Inspector is basically just an Appium client (like WebdriverIO, Appium's Java client, etc...) with a user interface.

Demo App(s)

1. The demo app that has been used for all these tests can be found here.
2. Be aware of the fact that and iOS simulator uses a different build then a iOS real device. So please check the file you download.

In the browser address bar, add your GitHub url (https://github.com/USERNAME/this-repo-name)

3. Once the URL is loaded, you will need to sign in with the GitHub account you created earlier
4. Once the development environment is loaded, you should see 'Ready to test!' in the Terminal window in the lower portion of the window, run the following commands in that Terminal to set your SAUCE_USERNAME, SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY:

eval $(gp env -e SAUCE_USERNAME=<sauce_username>)
eval $(gp env -e SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY=<sauce_access_key>)

Replace <sauce_username>, <sauce_access_key> with your credentials

Once you have run those 2 commands, you can run the following commands to test your environment variables:

echo $SAUCE_USERNAME
echo $SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY

Run sanity tests

mvn clean test -DtestngXmlFile=myDemoTests.xml
