#initialize(opts = {}, global_driver = false) ⇒ Driver

Creates a new driver. The driver is defined as global scope by default. We can avoid defining global driver.

Examples:


require 'rubygems'
require 'appium_lib'

# platformName takes a string or a symbol.
# Start iOS driver with global scope
opts = {
         caps: {
           platformName: :ios,
           app: '/path/to/MyiOS.app'
         },
         appium_lib: {
           server_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:4723'
           wait_timeout: 30
         }
       }
appium_driver = Appium::Driver.new(opts, true)
appium_driver.start_driver

# Start Android driver with global scope
opts = {
         caps: {
           platformName: :android,
           app: '/path/to/my.apk'
         },
         appium_lib: {
           wait_timeout: 30,
           wait_interval: 1
         }
       }
appium_driver = Appium::Driver.new(opts, true)
appium_driver.start_driver

# Start iOS driver without global scope
opts = {
         caps: {
           platformName: :ios,
           app: '/path/to/MyiOS.app'
         },
         appium_lib: {
           wait_timeout: 30
         }
       }
appium_driver = Appium::Driver.new(opts, false)
appium_driver.start_driver

# Start iOS driver without global scope
opts = {
         caps: {
           platformName: :ios,
           app: '/path/to/MyiOS.app'
         },
         appium_lib: {
           wait_timeout: 30
         },
         global_driver: false
       }
appium_driver = Appium::Driver.new(opts)
appium_driver.start_driver

Parameters:

  • opts (Object) (defaults to: {})

    A hash containing various options.

  • global_driver (Bool) (defaults to: false)

    A bool require global driver before initialize.

Converts app_path to an absolute path.

opts is the full options hash (caps and appium_lib). If server_url is set then the app path is used as is.

if app isn’t set then an error is raised.

Returns:

#execute_driver(script: '', type: 'webdriverio', timeout_ms: nil) ⇒ Appium::Core::Base::Device::ExecuteDriver::Result

Run a set of script against the current session, allowing execution of many commands in one Appium request. Supports WebdriverIO API so far. Please read command API for more details about acceptable scripts and the output.

Examples:

script = <<~SCRIPT
  const status = await driver.status();
  console.warn('warning message');
  return [status];
SCRIPT
r = @@driver.execute_driver(script: script, type: 'webdriverio', timeout: 10_000)
r        #=> An instance of Appium::Core::Base::Device::ExecuteDriver::Result
r.result #=> The `result` key part as the result of the script
r.logs   #=> The `logs` key part as `{'log' => [], 'warn' => [], 'error' => []}`

Parameters:

  • script (String) (defaults to: '')

    The string consisting of the script itself

  • type (String) (defaults to: 'webdriverio')

    The name of the script type. Defaults to ‘webdriverio’. Depends on server implementation which type is supported.

  • timeout_ms (Integer) (defaults to: nil)

    The number of ‘ms` Appium should wait for the script to finish before killing it due to timeout.

Returns:

  • (Appium::Core::Base::Device::ExecuteDriver::Result)

    The script result parsed by Appium::Core::Base::Device::ExecuteDriver::Result.

Raises:

  • (::Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)

#start_driver(http_client_ops = { http_client: ::Appium::Http::Default.new, open_timeout: 999_999, read_timeout: 999_999 }) ⇒ Selenium::WebDriver

Creates a new global driver and quits the old one if it exists. You can customise http_client as the following

Read www.rubydoc.info/github/appium/ruby_lib_core/Appium/Core/Device to understand more what the driver can call instance methods.

Examples:


require 'rubygems'
require 'appium_lib'

# platformName takes a string or a symbol.
# Start iOS driver
opts = {
         caps: {
           platformName: :ios,
           app: '/path/to/MyiOS.app'
         },
         appium_lib: {
           wait_timeout: 30
         }
       }
appium_driver = Appium::Driver.new(opts) #=> return an Appium::Driver instance
appium_driver.start_driver #=> return an Appium::Core::Base::Driver

Parameters:

  • http_client_ops (Hash) (defaults to: { http_client: ::Appium::Http::Default.new, open_timeout: 999_999, read_timeout: 999_999 })

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (http_client_ops):

  • :http_client (Hash)

    Custom HTTP Client

  • :open_timeout (Hash)

    Custom open timeout for http client.

  • :read_timeout (Hash)
