How to update selendroid in Appium

[chuyaoyao]

Beacuse there is a mistake on selendroid，And it fixed. I want to update the selendroid in Appium ，but I can not find the ’selendroid jar‘ selendroid/selendroid#309
if I do not update the selendroid，I can not run my test on android < 4.2

You poked your nose inside
thank you

The selendroid submodule is updated periodically. If you're building from source, run git pull within the submodule and it'll download the latest version. ./reset.sh from appium root will then build the selendroid jar.

dear @bootstraponline I use appium for windows ,so how to update it

[bootstraponline]

I think the reset.bat will work the same as reset.sh.

@bootstraponline Is here any mistake in reset.bat

=====Resetting Unlock.apk=====

Building Unlock.apk
error: pathspec 'submodules/unlock_apk' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?

Stopping because there was an error and --force was not used

[bootstraponline]

My guess is this doesn't work yet on Windows. You're running the command correctly.

Reset.bat should be building just fine on Windows. Do you have all the latest appium code?
I'll upgrade selendroid locally the same way you did here and see if I get the same issue.

I build the appium, but I can not find the selenium.apk in it.where is it ? I think the reset.bat .......

[chuyaoyao]

when can update the appium for windows????

[Jonahss]

I'm still looking at how you can upgrade selendroid to the latest version, then get this working for you.
Make sure you run ./reset.bat --selendroid

Still looking into this.

[imurchie]

Two dashes are needed:

./reset.bat --selendroid

Selendroid updated and is working fine for me on Windows 8:

first update the selendroid submodule

cd submodules\selendroid
git checkout master
git pull origin master

Now you have to commit the updated submodule to the repo.

cd ..\..
git add .\submodules\selendroid
git commit -m "updated selendroid"

Now run reset

.\reset.bat --selendroid

You should have the configuration set

cat .\.appiumconfig.json
#should have selendroid version 0.16.0

[bootstraponline]

It might be nice to add this to the windows docs.

[Jonahss]

At this point, there's nothing Windows specific here, it's the steps to run appium with a newer version of selendroid.

@chuyaoyao are you still having problems?

[jlipps]

Selendroid has been updated in Appium itself now, so maybe a moot point.

[joao-carloto]

Hi there, I've tried to follow the instructions form @Jonahss and it all seems to run fine to a certain point. Meaning that when I open appium\build\selendroid\AndroidManifest.xml I can see versionName="0.17.0-SNAPSHOT".
But when I start appium (node .) and run some tests, I go to check the cell phone and the installed version of Selendroid it's still 0.15.0 (which comes bundled, by default, with Appium 1.4.8).
Also, when I check .appiumconfig.json I see "selendroid":{"version":"1.4.8"}, this the Appium version and not Selendroid's.

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

[Jonahss]

Ok so the "selendroid version" in .appiumconfig.json is a red herring. This just means that "selendroid" was configured for your current version of appium, you can safely ignore it.

I'm not sure if the selendroid app gets installed on the phone each time, maybe delete it from the phone and try again?

[joao-carloto]

Thanks for the reply @Jonahss. I've been uninstalling Selendroid 0.15.0 but after I run a test it's back again.
If I pick the APK generated during the Appium build and install it manually, I confirm that it's 0.17.0-SNAPSHOT.
I'll get back to this, once I have the time. If I find an explanation I'll post it here.
