NAME
Appium - Perl bindings to the Appium mobile automation framework (WIP)
VERSION
version 0.02
SYNOPSIS
my $appium = Appium->new(caps => {
app => '/url/or/path/to/mobile/app.zip'
});
$appium->hide_keyboard;
$appium->quit;DESCRIPTION
Appium is an open source test automation framework for use with native and hybrid mobile apps. It drives iOS and Android apps using the WebDriver JSON wire protocol. This module is a thin extension of Selenium::Remote::Driver that adds Appium specific API endpoints and Appium-specific constructor defaults.
For details on how Appium extends the Webdriver spec, see the Selenium project's spec-draft document
This module is woefully incomplete at the moment. Feel free to pitch in!
NEW OR UPDATED FUNCTIONALITY
Contexts
Instead of using windows to manage switching between native applications and webviews, use the analogous context methods:
my $current = $appium->current_context;
my @contexts = $appium->contexts;
my $context = 'WEBVIEW_1'
$appium->switch_to->context( $context );Note that this module uses the ->switch_to->context syntax, unlike its parent module.
METHODS
contexts ()
Returns the contexts within the current session
$appium->contexts;current_context ()
Return the current active context for the current session
$appium->current_context;switch_to->context ( $context_name )
Switch to the desired context for the current session
$appium->switch_to->context( 'WEBVIEW_1' );hide_keyboard( key_name|key|strategy => $key_or_strategy )
Hides the software keyboard on the device. In iOS, you have the option of using key_name to close the keyboard by pressing a specific key. Or, you can specify a particular strategy; the default strategy is tapOutside. In Android, no parameters are used.
$appium->hide_keyboard;
$appium->hide_keyboard( key_name => 'Done');
$appium->hide_keyboard( strategy => 'tapOutside', key => 'Done');SEE ALSO
