Re: Need help on setting robot framework android project in bit bar
Hey Arjunrv0, Glad to hear that you are trying out Robot Framework, a really nice way to execute tests! I can see that you already got it working, but hopefully this clear thing up! The role of the run-tests.sh shell script can be hard to understand as it is a file specificly to the Bitbar Cloud and Cloud side execution. Your zip package was missing this run-tests.sh file (also needs to be named just run-tests.sh istead of run-tests-ios / -android.) and therefore did not execute, this needs to be modified to start your test run in the same way you would start it locally. Essentially automating your start command for your test. This file also needs to be in the root of the zip, not inside a folder. I would recommend checking how our samples have the run-tests.sh configured. Sample zip - run-test.sh - run-android.py - libs - resources - tests-android - etc. Cloud side (link), which is used when you want to scale up your testing and start running fast parallel runs. Here you offload all the execution to the cloud, by uploading the test suite with all its components in a zip file. As well as the application. This is then executed in the cloud against as many devices as you would wish at the same time. This requires you to create a zip, with one additional file (run-test.sh) for our cloud to understand how to start the test run. As tests can be started in many different ways.Otherwise the tests / project are the same as locally just zipped in a neat package. The Bitbar documentation contains a wealth of information about the test execution. https://docs.bitbar.com/testing/appium/ Here is a link to our RF sample, feel free to even use this as a base for your test. https://github.com/bitbar/test-samples/tree/master/samples/testing-frameworks/robot-framework If you have any more specific questions, please reach out!

Hello van1, Just as a note, to be able to better help you, in future posts please provide a direct link to any test run connected with the question. This way it is easier to debug and find the root of the problem. When you want to run automated tests on the Bitbar Cloud, you have two options, On the one hand there is Client Side, let’s call it the “standard way” of execution, where you start the test run from your own computer against a device in the cloud (1 to 1). To test more devices means more sessions.I would say this is a good starting point. With changing some capabilities, adding your API key, hub URL and uploading the app you will be starting your Appium test against the selected cloud device. Then on the other hand we have Cloud side, which is when you want to scale up your testing and start running fast parallel runs. Here you offload all the execution to the cloud, by uploading the test suite with all its components in a zip file. As well as the application. This is then executed in the cloud against as many devices as you would wish at the same time. This requires to create zip, with one additional file for our cloud to start the test run. Otherwise the tests / project are the same as locally just zipped in a neat package. Your zip package was missing this run-tests.sh file (also needs to be named just run-tests.sh), and therefore did not execute, this needs to be modified to start your test run in the way you would start it locally. I would recommend checking how our samples have the run-tests.sh configured. Also inside the run-tests.sh file, the application name defined is incorrect, it needs to be “application.apk” in this instance, as the cloud renames every application, so therefore the run-tests.sh should be looking for application.apk, even though the uploaded app has a different name. The Bitbar documentation contains a wealth of information about the test execution. https://docs.bitbar.com/testing/appium/ Here is a link to our Ruby Sample, feel free to even use this as a base for your test. https://github.com/bitbar/test-samples/tree/master/samples/testing-frameworks/appium/client-side/ruby . PS If You would need to use higher version of ruby modify first line from run-tests.sh from '#!/bin/bash' to '#!/bin/bash -l' and add this command is next/second line 'rvm use ruby-2.5.0' then Your test will use ruby 2.5.0 under execution. If you have any more specific questions, please reach out! Kind Regards, Wille2.7KViews3likes0Comments
