Appium Docker for Android

Images Included:

  • appium/appium - Docker Image to run appium tests on real android devices.
  • To execute in android emulator's please visit docker-android

Setting up Android real device test on Docker macOSX

  1. Why is this approach needed at first place?

    • Helps in quick & easier setup of automation environment for appium + android
    • Without this approach, you'll need to do each of the automation setup steps manually; which can be slow and error prone
    • Refer to Selenium Conference Youtube video for more details

  2. Make sure you have latest docker installed on mac.

    $ docker-machine --version
$ docker-machine version 0.10.0, build 76ed2a6

  3. Create a docker-machine as follows

    $ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox appium-test-machine

  4. Enable USB in created docker-machine

    $ docker-machine stop appium-test-machine
$ vboxmanage modifyvm appium-test-machine --usb on --usbehci on
$ docker-machine start appium-test-machine

    Note: You need to install Extension Pack depends on your virtualbox version, in case you get an Error "Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found"

  5. Open Virtual box, move to appium-test-machine created, select USB and add Android device and Host Controller.

    alt tag

  6. SSH into the docker machine created

    $ docker-machine ssh appium-test-machine

  7. Run the docker image

    $ docker run --privileged -d -p 4723:4723  -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb --name container-appium appium/appium

  8. Plug in devices after container is running; otherwise it will shows nothing.

  9. Run following command to verify adb devices can detect the connected android device.

    $ docker exec -it container-appium bash "adb devices"

  10. Run UI Test with following test configuration

    Push the apk file into the container
$ docker cp /Users/loacl-macosx-path-to-apk/app-debug.apk container-appium:/opt

Desired Capabilities:

private void androidSetup() throws MalformedURLException {
        caps.setCapability("deviceName", "Android");
        caps.setCapability("app", "/opt/app-debug.apk");
        //Get the IP Address of boot2docker
        //docker inspect $(docker ps -q) | grep IPA
        driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://192.168.99.100:32769/wd/hub"), caps);
}

Connect to Android devices by Air

Appium-Docker-Android can be connected with Android devices by Air.

To do that you need to configure android device, according to official manual

Then run docker container with following parameters:

  • REMOTE_ADB=True
  • ANDROID_DEVICES=<android_device_host>:<android_device_port> [,<android_device_host>:<android_device_port>]
$ docker run -d -p 4723:4723 -e REMOTE_ADB=True -e ANDROID_DEVICES=192.168.0.5:5555,192.168.0.6:5555

Connect to Selenium Grid

Appium-Docker-Android can be connected with selenium grid by passing following parameters:

  • CONNECT_TO_GRID=True
  • APPIUM_HOST=<ip_address_of_appium_server>
  • APPIUM_PORT=<port_of_appium_server>
  • SELENIUM_HOST=<ip_address_of_selenium_hub>
  • SELENIUM_PORT=<port_of_selenium_hub>
$ docker run --privileged -d -p 4723:4723 -e CONNECT_TO_GRID=True -e APPIUM_HOST="127.0.0.1" -e APPIUM_PORT=4723 -e SELENIUM_HOST="172.17.0.1" -e SELENIUM_PORT=4444 -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb --name container-appium appium/appium

Docker compose

There is an example of compose file to simulate the connection between selenium hub and appium server mit connected device(s) in docker solution.

$ docker-compose up -d
