@RaghavPal

Жыл бұрын

Hi, The warning messages you are seeing when running the "appium -doctor --ios" command are likely related to certain dependencies or configurations that are not set up correctly on your system. To fix these warnings, you can try the following steps: Make sure you have the latest version of Appium installed. You can check the version by running "appium -v" and update it using npm install appium@latest Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed on your system. For example, if you are running the command on a Mac, you will need to have Xcode and its command-line tools installed. Check that the environment variables are set correctly. Some warnings may be related to missing or incorrect environment variables, such as ANDROID_HOME or JAVA_HOME. Make sure that these variables are set correctly and point to the correct locations on your system. If you are running the command on a Mac and receiving warnings related to the XCUITest driver, make sure that you have the latest version of Xcode and its command-line tools installed, and that the Xcode path is correctly set in your environment variables. If the issue persist you can look into the Appium documentation for further troubleshoot guidance or look into the Appium community forum for help. Keep in mind that the specific steps required to fix the warnings may vary depending on the specific warnings that you are seeing, and the operating system and configuration of your system ---

after runing the appium installation command on terminal in mac successfully , it won't show the appium version in the terminal

@RaghavPal

Жыл бұрын

Hi Akshay, If you have successfully installed Appium on your Mac, but are not seeing the version number when you run the appium -v command in the terminal, there are a few possible causes: Appium is not in your system path: Make sure that the Appium binary is in your system path. You can check by running echo $PATH in your terminal and making sure that the Appium binary path is included in the output. If it's not, you'll need to add it to your system path. Incorrect installation: If you installed Appium using a package manager like npm, it's possible that the installation was not completed successfully. Try uninstalling and reinstalling Appium to see if this resolves the issue. Typo in the command: Double-check that you're typing the command correctly. Make sure there are no typos or misspellings in the command, and that you're running it from the correct directory. Appium is not installed: If you're not seeing any output when you run the appium -v command, it's possible that Appium is not installed on your system. Try reinstalling Appium to see if this resolves the issue. If none of these solutions work, please provide more information about the steps you followed and any additional error messages that you may be seeing

@RaghavPal

Жыл бұрын

To remove Appium from the /usr/local/bin path, you can follow these steps: Open a terminal window on your Mac. Type the following command to open the .bashrc file: nano ~/.bashrc Scroll down to the bottom of the file and look for a line that includes the /usr/local/bin directory. It may look something like this: export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" To remove Appium from the path, simply delete /usr/local/bin from this line. The modified line should look something like this: export PATH="$PATH" Press CTRL+X to exit nano, then press Y to save the changes you made to the file, and press ENTER to confirm the file name. To refresh the Bash shell with the new PATH environment variable, type the following command in the terminal: source ~/.bashrc After following these steps, you should be able to run appium -v without any issues, and it will not be found in the /usr/local/bin path.

Aaqib Here are the common causes and solutions: 1. Insufficient Permissions: Check Permissions: Use ls -ld /usr/local to verify write permissions for your user. Use sudo: If necessary, install with sudo npm install -g appium. Change Ownership: If you prefer not to use sudo, change ownership of /usr/local to your user using sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local. 2. Node Package Manager (npm) Permissions: Rebuild Cache: Clear and rebuild npm's cache: sudo npm cache clean --force sudo npm install -g appium 3. Global Installation Conflicts: Install Locally: If global installation continues to fail, install locally within your project directory: npm install appium Manage Conflicting Packages: Review and resolve any conflicting global packages using tools like npm ls or npm dedupe. 4. Anti-Virus or Firewall Interference: Temporarily Disable: Temporarily disable anti-virus or firewall software to see if it resolves the issue. Add Exceptions: If successful, create exceptions for npm or Appium processes. 5. Alternative Installation Methods: Homebrew (macOS): Use brew install appium for a more streamlined installation. Yarn: If you prefer Yarn, use yarn global add appium. Additional Tips: Update Node.js and npm: Ensure you have the latest versions for compatibility. Check Proxy Settings: If behind a proxy, configure npm accordingly.

You can now use Appium Inspector ## Using Appium Inspector: A Step-by-Step Guide Appium Inspector is a visual tool to help you inspect and interact with mobile app UI elements while testing or developing with Appium. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it: 1. Installation: - Download and install Appium Inspector from its official GitHub repository: - Choose the correct installer based on your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Can also use web version: inspector.appiumpro.com/ 2. Starting Appium Server: - Before using Appium Inspector, you need a running Appium server. Ensure you have Appium installed and configured correctly. - Start the Appium server with the desired app and device/emulator information. 3. Launching Appium Inspector: - Run the installed Appium Inspector application. - In the main window, connect to the running Appium server by providing the following details: - Remote Host: Usually `localhost` or the IP address of your machine running the server. - Remote Port: Default is `4723`, but check your Appium server configuration if different. - Remote Path: Leave blank by default. 4. Inspecting the App: - Once connected, the Appium Inspector will display the currently running app's UI elements in a hierarchical tree structure. - Click on different UI elements in the tree to see their details and properties in the right panel. - You can also interact with the app directly by: - Clicking on UI elements on the screen. - Swiping your finger across the screen. - Typing text input using the text box provided. 5. Useful Features: - Search elements: Use the search bar to find specific UI elements by ID, text, or other attributes. - Export properties: Click the clipboard icon to copy element details (ID, XPath, etc.) to your clipboard. - Save screenshots: Click the camera icon to save a screenshot of the app screen. - Advanced options: The top menu provides access to more advanced features like layout inspection, network traffic view, and element recording. 6. Closing Appium Inspector: - When finished using Appium Inspector, simply close the application window. Additional Tips: - Remember to have your app running on a connected device or emulator before starting Appium Inspector. - If you encounter connection issues, ensure your Appium server is running and accessible at the provided host and port. - Familiarize yourself with the different UI element properties displayed in the right panel to write effective automated tests using XPath, ID, or other locators. - Appium Inspector provides detailed documentation and tutorials on its website: I hope this step-by-step guide helps you get started with Appium Inspector
