Gitpod setup

ℹ Gitpod lets you run an entire Dev environment from a browser! You can use this approach if you don't know how to setup a local Java environment.

1. Sign up for a free GitHub account
2. Fork this repository

• Make sure you are logged into GitHub
• Click the Fork in the upper right of the GitHub.
• Give the repo a ⭐ while you're here 🤩

3. In the browser address bar, your GitHub url (https://github.com/USERNAME/this-repo-name) with https://gitpod.io/#

   • The resulting url should look as follows:

     https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/USERNAME/mobile-appium-java

4. Once the Gitpod.io URL is loaded, you will need to sign in with the GitHub account you created earlier

5. Once the development environment is loaded, you should see 'Ready to test!' in the Terminal window in the lower portion of the window, run the following commands in that Terminal to set your SAUCE_USERNAME, SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY:

ℹ️ You can get your Sauce Labs Username and Access Key by going to the Sauce Labs user settings page

eval $(gp env -e SAUCE_USERNAME=<sauce_username>)
eval $(gp env -e SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY=<sauce_access_key>)

Replace <sauce_username>, <sauce_access_key> with your credentials

Once you have run those 3 commands, you can run the following commands to test your environment variables:

echo $SAUCE_USERNAME
echo $SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY

Run sanity tests

mvn test -Dtest="IOSTest" -X
