Running appium programatically in mac terminal using Java

I want to start appium server programatically in mac using Java.

Can any one help me how to write the code to start appium.

Thanks..

Solution

  • You can launch appium server programmatically with below piece of code.

    appium = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
            .withAppiumJS(new File("/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js"))
            .usingPort(4723).withIPAddress("127.0.0.1"));
appium.start();

    If you want to launch from terminal you can run below command

    /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js

    If you want to specify the simulator and app details etc you can run below command.

    node /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js --address 127.0.0.1 --port 4723 --full-reset 
--device-name "iPhone 6" 
--platform-name iOS 
--platform-version "8.3" 
--app "/My.app"
--browser-name iOS

    For this the node executable should be added to the path.
