nativescript-dev-appium

A helper package to make running E2E Appium tests in NativeScript apps easier.

Usage

Install it with:

$ tns install appium

It will produce a sample test below the e2e-tests dir. Now, run it with:

$ npm run appium-android.

The tests are standard Mocha tests.

Missing features

1. iOS support
2. Better text output: colors, etc.
3. Better integration with nativescript-cli.

• Run tests with a tns appium ... command
• Better deployment to device (tns deploy instead of tns run)
• Detect changes to app files and avoid rebuilding/redeploying the app if only test code has changed.

4. Developer workflow - fast test runs when working on an app. Maybe using livesync.
