How to install multiple apps in Real Devices on LambdaTest using the Appium Java Junit Framework
While performing app automation testing with appium on LambdaTest Grid, you might face a scenario where the APP1 that you are testing needs to interact with a few other applications APP2, APP3. In this scenario, LambdaTest offers an easy way out where you can just upload your apps & add them to the multiple apps array. It becomes extremely convenient now where you can just add those URLs & run your tests with ease.
You can add the app URLs fetched by uploading your apps in the otherApps capability.
You can make this change in the android.java and ios.java:
Below is the android.java example shown:
public class android {
String username = System.getenv("LT_USERNAME") == null ? "LT_USERNAME" //Enter the Username here
: System.getenv("LT_USERNAME");
String accessKey = System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY") == null ? "LT_ACCESS_KEY" //Enter the Access key here
: System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY");
public static RemoteWebDriver driver = null;
public String gridURL = "@beta-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub";
public String status = "passed";
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("build", "JUNIT Native App automation");
capabilities.setCapability("name", "Java JUnit Android Pixel 6");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "android");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Pixel 6"); //Enter the name of the device here
capabilities.setCapability("isRealMobile", true);
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion","12");
capabilities.setCapability("app","lt://"); //Enter the App ID here
capabilities.setCapability("deviceOrientation", "PORTRAIT");
capabilities.setCapability("console",true);
capabilities.setCapability("network",true);
capabilities.setCapability("visual",true);
// ADD THE APP URL OF OTHER APPS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO INSTALL ON THE SAME DEVICE
capabilities.setCapability("otherApps", "[\"APP_ID\", \"APP_ID\"]"); // ENTER THE OTHER APP URLs HERE IN AN ARRAY FORMAT
try
{
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("https://" + username + ":" + accessKey + gridURL), capabilities);
}
catch (MalformedURLException e)
{
System.out.println("Invalid grid URL");
} catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
@Test
public void testSimple() throws Exception
{
try
{
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(MobileBy.id("color"))).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(MobileBy.id("geoLocation"))).click();;
Thread.sleep(5000);
driver.navigate().back();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(MobileBy.id("Text"))).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(MobileBy.id("notification"))).click();;
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(MobileBy.id("toast"))).click();
status="passed";
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
status="failed";
}
}
@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception
{
if (driver != null)
{
driver.executeScript("lambda-status=" + status);
driver.quit();
}
}
}Execute the following commands to install the required dependencies:
mvn cleanThe tests can be executed in the terminal using the following command:
mvn test -P androidmvn test -P iosInfo: Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on the 🔗 LambdaTest App Automation Dashboard.
Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on the LambdaTest App Automation Dashboard.
