No regrets, the appium automation environment is perfectly built

The desktop version of appium provides a way to visually operate the main functions of appium, which is very suitable for beginners.
How to install appium desktop version on windows platform, roughly divided into two steps, namely dependent software installation and appium desktop version installation.The following is a dismantling text and picture description of these two steps.

01 Dependent software installation

The dependent software is the following four items: JDK, SDK, node and simulator.

1. JDK

Currently, jdk1.8 is generally used. After downloading jdk1.8, the installation can be completed all the way to the next step.

You can refer to the screenshot to configure the JDK environment variables.

Test whether the jdk environment variable configuration is correct.

As shown in the screenshot below, the version number information can be queried, which proves that the environment variables are configured correctly.

2. SDK

Unzip the SDK package to complete the installation.

You can refer to the screenshot to configure the SDK environment variables.

Test whether the SDK environment variables are configured correctly.

Check the adb version number under %ANDROID_HOME%\platformtools to prove whether the SDK environment variable configuration is correct.

As shown in the screenshot below, the version number information can be queried, which proves that the environment variables are configured correctly.

Note: The following is my adb local disk path.

3.node

Double-click node-v12.13.1-x64.msi, and then follow the instructions to complete the node installation.

Environment variables are generally automatically configured after installation.

Then, test whether the node environment variable configuration is correct.

The version of node and npm is required to be higher than 4, if the error is generally a problem with the environment configuration, you need to manually set the environment variable PATH.

Before setting the PATH environment variable, you need to find the local installation path of node. As shown in the screenshot below, it is my own local installation path of node.

Modify or increase the installation path of node in the PATH environment variable.

4. Simulator

The website address of the MuMu simulator is as follows, http://mumu.163.com/ Then double-click to download the mumu installer (exe extension), and follow the instructions to complete the installation of the mumu simulator.

Find the port number that adb connects to the mumu emulator through the configuration file with the extension nemu as follows.

02 appium desktop installation

The operation steps of the appium desktop version under the windows platform are divided into download and installation.

1. Download

Download appium from the official website address, the address is as follows: http://navo.top/6RZjim

If the official website is slow to download, you can use Baidu cloud addressDownload, Baidu cloud address is as follows:

Link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/15d20Cyi4aNGja20wPeiEQA

Extraction code: 526l

2. Installation

Click the appium installer Appium-windows-1.15.1.exe, and the installation guide completes the installation.

Find the appium icon with a purple wheel on the desktop after installation, and double-click the appium icon to start appium.

First make adb connection, the specific operation is to enter the following command in the CMD window.

After configuring the session connection parameters, click [Start Session] to debug and connect to the mumu simulator test.

The home page after the app under test is started appears, indicating that the appium desktop version is successfully installed.

For fans

Finally, you can get a 216-page software test engineer interview collection document on the official account: Programmer Yifan [free].And the corresponding video learning tutorials are shared for free!It includes basic knowledge, Linux essentials, Shell, Internet program principles, Mysql database, packet capture tool topics, interface testing tools, advanced testing-Python programming, Web automated testing, APP automated testing, interface automated testing, and advanced testingContinuous integration, testing architecture development testing framework, performance testing, security testing, etc.

Now I invite you to join our software testing learning exchange group: 769146372, remark "join the group", everyone can discuss and communicate software testing together, learn software testing techniques, interviews and other aspects of software testing, and there will be free live classes, to gain more testing skills, let's advance Python automated testing/test development together to improve our technical capabilities.
