Appium is getting a feature to test Android Jetpack Compose over compose context. https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver#jetpack-compose-support is the place to see how the current Appium Espresso driver works with the compose over the compose context. Appium UIA2 driver has a different architecture to work with it, so the compose support can work over the espresso driver. The…More

[Appium][Android] Change window/tab in a chrome custom tab
A chrome custom tab is a chrome browser instance on an Android device. Appium tries to get available contexts by checking browser/webview processes on the device/application.

[Appium][Android] Chrome Custom Tab
A note about chrome custom tab when I tested in appium#13543 Demo apps in https://github.com/GoogleChrome/android-browser-helper helped me to check basic chrome custom tabs availability via Appium. Some apps may have custom chrome tabs. Then, I assume it requires setting chrome options properly. My test environment had Appium 1.21.0 or newer, so possibly older ones had…More

[Appium][Android] Compose Layout
About https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/15138 I toyed compose layout with JetChat in https://github.com/android/compose-samples with Appium. Below XMLs are the result.

[Android][Compose][Appium] Take a look at AndroidComposeTestRule
Composer has ComposeTestRule and AndroidComposeTestRule to test Composer. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/testing As Appium, we’d like to inject them to interact with composer components reliably.

According to https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/testing#espresso-interop this section, the composer rule can use with Espresso. Thus, I guessed Appium-Espresso driver also could…More

Thus, I’d like to leave it here. Appium capabilities example:More
