Using Mobile Center for working with Appium Inspector

evgenyk

Appium Desktop (https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop) provides Appium Server and Inspector in Desktop GUIs for Mac, Windows, and Linux.  The post below explains how to use Appium inspector together with the devices hosted by Mobile Center.

  • Launch Appium Desktop app
  • Open New Session from Appium menu
  • Navigate to Custom Server tab
  • Setup the needed parameters (see attachment)
  1. Mobile Center FQDN/IP and Port
  2. Remote path: /wd/hub
  3. Proxy (if used)
  4. Desired capabilities:

  • Please be sure to add browserName capability as empty, otherwise Appium will add the default browser name.
  • It is highly recommended to use OATH Client ID and Secret instead of username/password for the user
  • If you set Anonymous Access option for Appium to NO, please provide userName and password capabilities as well. If it is set to YES - no needed, it will work anonymously.Screen Shot 2018-06-07 at 11.08.04.png

     

 

 

  • Done - Appium Inspector is launched with device hosted by Mobile Center.Screen Shot 2018-06-07 at 11.07.44.png

    Hi Ishan,
    If you are testing with an instance of UFTM with SSL (https), this may be an issue with the certificate. For example, if your local computer attempts to connect to a remote server and the security certificates in your Local Computer Keystore, do not match. To solve this issue, you have to import the certificate into the Java Keystore.
