Appium - Simple first test

There are some tutorials how to write simple first test:

1. Install Nodejs:
1. http://nodejs.org/download/
2. Install mocha:
1. npm install -g mocha
3. Create test folder:
1. Open terminal
2. cd Desktop
3. mkdir appium-test
4. Download test app:
   
   1. cd appium-test
   2. curl -O http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/UICatalog/UICatalog.zip
   3. unzip UICatalog.zip
   4. cd UICatalog
   5. xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator6.0
5. Setup appium:
1. Download appium app:
   • https://bitbucket.org/appium/appium.app/downloads/appium-1.6.1.dmg

3. Choose "App Path" using UICatalog build .app file:
   • UICatalog/build/Release-iphonesimulator/UICatalog.app
4. Launch
6. Install node modules:
1. cd appium-test
2. npm install path
3. npm install saucelabs
4. npm install should
5. npm install underscore
6. npm install wd
7. Create test files:
1. driverblock.js

• /*global beforeEach:true, afterEach:true, describe:true */
  "use strict";
   
  var wd = require('wd')
    , _ = require("underscore")
    , sauce = require("saucelabs")
    , sauceRest = null
    , path = require("path")
    , should = require("should")
    , defaultHost = '127.0.0.1'
    , defaultPort = 4723
    , defaultCaps = {
        browserName: ''
        , device: 'iPhone Simulator'
        , platform: 'Mac'
        , version: '6.0'
        //, newCommandTimeout: 60
      };
   
  var sauceRest = {
    username: 'vinhquang09'
    , password: '1acf93f3-ba7d-4776-a5bc-6958be79b20b'
  };
   
   
  var driverBlock = function(tests, host, port, caps, extraCaps) {
    host = (typeof host === "undefined" || host === null) ? _.clone(defaultHost) : host;
    port = (typeof port === "undefined" || port === null) ? _.clone(defaultPort) : port;
    caps = (typeof caps === "undefined" || caps === null) ? _.clone(defaultCaps) : caps;
    caps = _.extend(caps, typeof extraCaps === "undefined" ? {} : extraCaps);
    var driverHolder = {driver: null, sessionId: null};
    var expectConnError = extraCaps && extraCaps.expectConnError;
   
    beforeEach(function(done) {
      driverHolder.driver = wd.remote(host, port);
      driverHolder.driver.init(caps, function(err, sessionId) {
        if (expectConnError && err) {
          driverHolder.connError = err;
          return done();
        }
        should.not.exist(err);
        driverHolder.sessionId = sessionId;
        driverHolder.driver.setImplicitWaitTimeout(5000, function(err) {
          should.not.exist(err);
          done();
        });
      });
    });
   
    afterEach(function(done) {
      driverHolder.driver.quit(function(err) {
        if (err && err.status && err.status.code != 6) {
          throw err;
        }
        if (host.indexOf("saucelabs") !== -1 && sauceRest !== null) {
          sauceRest.updateJob(driverHolder.sessionId, {
            passed: true
          }, function() {
            done();
          });
        } else {
          done();
        }
      });
    });
   
    tests(driverHolder);
  };
   
   
  var describeForApp = function(app, device, appPackage, appActivity) {
    if (typeof device === "undefined") {
      device = "ios";
    }
    var browserName, appPath, realDevice;
   
    realDevice = "iPhone Simulator";
    browserName = "iOS";
   
    appPath = path.resolve(__dirname, app + "/build/Release-iphonesimulator/" + app + ".app");
   
    return function(desc, tests, host, port, caps, extraCaps) {
      if (typeof extraCaps === "undefined") {
        extraCaps = {};
      }
      var newExtraCaps = {
        app: appPath,
        browserName: browserName,
        device: realDevice
      };
   
      driverBlock(tests, host, port, caps, newExtraCaps);
    };
  };
   
   
  var describeForSauce = function(appUrl) {
    return function(desc, tests, host, port, extraCaps) {
      host = typeof host === "undefined" ? 'ondemand.saucelabs.com' : host;
      port = typeof port === "undefined" ? 80 : port;
   
      host = sauceRest.username + ':' + sauceRest.password + '@' + host;
      var caps = {
        platform: "Mac 10.8"
        , name: "First test"
        , device: "iPhone Simulator"
        , browserName: ""
        , app: appUrl
        , version: ""
        , tags: ['appium', 'test']
      };
   
      driverBlock(tests, host, port, caps, extraCaps);
    };
  };
   
   
  module.exports.block = driverBlock;
  module.exports.describeForApp = describeForApp;
  module.exports.describeForSauce = describeForSauce;

2. simple.js:

• /*global it:true */
  "use strict";
   
  var should = require("should")
    , describeWd = require("./driverblock.js").describeForApp('UICatalog');
    //, describeWd = require("./driverblock.js").describeForSauce('http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/UICatalog/UICatalog.zip');
   
   
  describeWd('moveTo and click', function(h) {
    it('should be able to click on arbitrary x-y elements', function(done) {
      h.driver.elementsByTagName('tableCell', function(err, els) {
        should.not.exist(err);
        h.driver.moveTo(els[0], 10, 10, function(err) {
          should.not.exist(err);
          h.driver.click(function(err) {
            should.not.exist(err);
            h.driver.elementByXPath("button[@name='Rounded']", function(err, el) {
              should.not.exist(err);
              should.exist(el.value);
              done();
            });
          });
        });
      });
    });
  });

8. Run test:
• mocha -t 60000 -R spec simple.js

Good luck!
