seleniumautomationappiumdesiredcapabilities

Not able to find my object created for DesiredCapabilities class

I have started building up my first Appium test in Android and for that, I started writing my code.

I instantiated my DesiredCapabilities object but when I am trying to use that reference, I cant see that reference.

Link to Image for the issue:

Below are the dependencies added for my project:

  <dependencies>
    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>3.13.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.appium/java-client -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
        <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
        <version>6.1.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.testng/testng -->
    <dependency>

        <version>6.14.3</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

  </dependencies>

Please help me what is missing in order to help to proceed with coding. Is any jar being missed which I need to associate?

Solution

  • You can not access the method using references directly, in the class because there is no execution entry point. You have to write your code within some method, constructor or in block(static/non-static). Refer below examples :

    Way I

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities =DesiredCapabilities.android();

    public FirstDemoClass() {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "emulator-5554");
    }

    Way II

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities =DesiredCapabilities.android();

   // method
    public void setCapabilities() {

        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "emulator-5554");
    }

    Way III

        static DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.android();

    // block
    static {
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "emulator-5554");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }

    This should work. let me know if any thing there.
