appium-docker

Docker image for appium

Enable parallel execution of mobile tests using appium docker.

• Ensure you have docker installed and daemon running.
• Pull the image. docker pull jessezach/appium:latest
• Pull selenium hub image. docker pull selenium/hub
• Create a hub container docker run -d -p 5700:4444 --name selenium-hub selenium/hub
• Create a config.json file containing the node config including hub url and port. Example: { "capabilities": [ { "browserName": "chrome", "version": "4.4.4", "maxInstances": 1, "platform": "ANDROID", "platformName": "ANDROID", "deviceName": "Moto G" } ], "configuration": { "cleanUpCycle": 2000, "timeout":30000, "proxy": "org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy", "url": "http://172.16.14.80:4723/wd/hub", "host": "172.16.14.80", "port": 4723, "maxSession": 1, "hubPort": 4444, "hubHost": "172.16.14.80", "register": true, "registerCycle": 5000, "role": "node" } }
• Run the node container. You can mount a single device to the docker node. To get the bus and usb run lsusb on linux. docker run -d -p 4723:4723 -t -i --device=/dev/bus/usb/001/112 -v /home/user/config.json:/root/config.json --name app jessezach/appium

Create multiple nodes and attach to the hub. Ensure that you change the appium port. To dynamically attach an existing node to another hub, stop container docker stop <container-id> and modify the config.json with the new hub port and then run docker start <container-id>
