Testing Cordova Apps with Appium (wdio.conf.js)

wdio.conf.js

exports.config = {
  // 4723 is the default port for Appium
  port: 4723,

  // How much detail should be logged. The options are:
  // 'silent', 'verbose', 'command', 'data', 'result', 'error'
  logLevel: 'error',

  // This defines which kind of device we want to test on, as well as how it should be
  // configured.
  capabilities: [{
    // 'Android' or 'iOS'
    platformName: 'Android',

    // The version of the Android or iOS system
    platformVersion: '8.1',

    // For Android, Appium uses the first device it finds using "adb devices". So, this
    // string simply needs to be non-empty.
    // For iOS, this must exactly match the device name as seen in Xcode.
    deviceName: 'any',

    // Where to find the .apk or .ipa file to install on the device. The exact location
    // of the file may change depending on your Cordova version.
    app: './platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/debug/android-debug.apk',

    // By default, Appium runs tests in the native context. By setting autoWebview to
    // true, it runs our tests in the Cordova context.
    autoWebview: true,

    // When set to true, it will not show permission dialogs, but instead grant all
    // permissions automatically.
    autoGrantPermissions: true

  // Where the files we are testing can be found.
  specs: ['./tests/spec/**/*.js'],

  // Use the Appium plugin for Webdriver. Without this, we would need to run appium
  // separately on the command line.
  services: ['appium'],

  // The reporter is what formats your test results on the command line. 'spec' lists
  // the names of the tests with a tick or X next to them. See
  // https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=wdio-reporter for a full list of reporters.

  // wdio will run your tests using the framework below. You can choose from several,
  // much like the reporters. The full list is at https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=wdio-framework

  // By default, Jasmine times out within 10 seconds. This is not really enough time
  // for us as it takes a while for Appium to get set up.
