#appium-dotnet-driver

This driver is an extension of the Selenium C# client. It has all the functionalities of the regular driver, but add Appium specific methods on top of this.

NuGet

NuGet Package:

Dependencies:

• Selenium.WebDriver
• Newtonsoft.Json
• Selenium.Support
• Castle.Core

Note: we will NOT publish a signed version of this assembly since the dependencies we access through NuGet do not have a signed version - thus breaking the chain and causing us headaches. With that said, you are more than welcome to download the code and build a signed version yourself.

Usage

basics

• You need to add the following namespace line: using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium;.
• Use the AppiumDriver class/subclass to construct the driver. It works the same as the Selenium Webdriver, except that the ports are defaulted to Appium values, and the driver does not know how to start the Appium on its own.
• To use the Appium methods on Element, you need to specify the parameter of AppiumDriver or its subclasses.

Here is the example for Android:

...
using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Android;

namespace AppiumDriverDemo
{
	[TestFixture ()]
	public class ProgramTest
	{
		private AppiumDriver<AppiumWebElement> driver;

		[TestFixtureSetUp]
		public void beforeAll(){
			DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

			capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator");
			capabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "Android");
			capabilities.SetCapability("app", "<Path to your app>");
			driver = new AndroidDriver<AppiumWebElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);		
		}

		[TestFixtureTearDown]
		public void afterAll(){
			// shutdown
			driver.Quit();
		}
			
		[Test ()]
		public void AppiumDriverMethodsTestCase ()
		{
			// Using appium extension methods
			AppiumWebElement el = driver.FindElementsByAndroidUIAutomator ("new UiSelector().enabled(true)");
			el.SendKeys ("abc");
			Assert.AreEqual (el.Text, "abc");
		}
	}

}

TouchAction

TouchAction a1 = new TouchAction (driver);
a1
  .Press (element, 100, 100)
  .Wait (1000)
  .Release ();
a1.Perform();

MultiAction

MultiAction m = new MultiAction(driver);

TouchAction a1 = new TouchAction (driver);
a1
  .Press (element, 100, 100)
  .Wait (1000)
  .Release ();
m.Add(a1);

TouchAction a2 = new TouchAction ();
a2
  .Tap (100, 100)
  .MoveTo (element);
m.Add (a2);

m.Perform();
