[Travis CI](EN) Test and Build Android+Appium(node.js+python-client) in Travis CI

Update(2021.10.11): Add setting value related to pyenv

Setting Python and Node.js environment in Travis CI, build and test using Appium.


Environment and Prerequisite

  • Travis CI
  • Experience of test Android using local Appium(Server+python-client)


Process

We can use default Android environment in Travis CI. We will set up Appium(Node.js and Python) environment in yml.


  1. Android Setting
    • language and base setting
    • sdk and android related setting
  2. Python Environment Setting
    • install pyenv and virtualenv
    • set virtual environment and install packages(pytest, Appium-Python-Client etc…)
  3. Node.js Environment Setting
    • install node.js
    • install appium
  4. Run Appium
  5. Run Emulator
  6. Build and Test


1. Android Setting

Our Travis CI already serves all environment for android. Just type somethings like SDK or build-tools and others.

language and base setting

.travis.yml

language: android
sudo: required # We need sudo
jdk: oraclejdk8 # Can be changed by your preference


.travis.yml

language: android
sudo: required # We need sudo
jdk: oraclejdk8 # Can be changed by your preference

android:
    components:

        # Below codes are for using latest Android SDK Tools
        - tools
        - platform-tools

        # build-tools
        - build-tools-26.0.2

        # The SDK version used to compile your project
        - android-26
        - android-22
        - android-24

        # Additional components
        - extra-google-google_play_services
        - extra-google-m2repository
        - extra-android-m2repository
        - addon-google_apis-google-26

        # System image for your emulator
        # You need at least one system image
        - sys-img-armeabi-v7a-android-22
        - sys-img-armeabi-v7a-android-24


2. Python Environment Setting

Install pyenv and virtualenv for python environment. We need python for installing Appium-Python-Client in Appium

install pyenv and virtualenv

.travis.yml


...

# I just type install codes in before_install part
before_install:
    - sudo apt-get update

    # Install ubuntu packages for later usage
    - sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev
      libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev

    # Set up pyenv
    - git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
    - echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.bash_profile
    - echo 'export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
    - echo 'eval "$(pyenv init --path)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
    - echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

    # Set up virtualenv
    - git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenv.git ~/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv
    - echo 'eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
    - source ~/.bash_profile
    - pyenv versions


set virtual environment and install packages

Below requirements.txt is package list. You can type your packages if you want.

.travis.yml


...

    # Install python 3.6.1
    - pyenv install 3.6.1

    # Set up virtual environment (virtualenv name is undang in this case)
    - pyenv virtualenv 3.6.1 undang
    - pyenv activate undang
    - python -V

    # Install packages
    # Essential packages: Appium-Python-Client, pytest
    - pip install -r requirements.txt


3. Node.js Environment Setting

install node.js

You can check installation guide in here “[Ubuntu](EN) Install latest npm and nodejs by using ppa

.travis.yml


...

    # Install node.js and npm
    - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash -
    - sudo apt-get install nodejs
    - sudo apt-get install build-essential


install appium

.travis.yml


...

    # Add $JAVA_HOME/bin to PATH (for Appium executing)
    - PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

    # Install appium and appium-doctor
    - npm install appium
    - npm install appium-doctor


4. Run Appium

.travis.yml


...

    # Run appium-doctor
    - "./node_modules/.bin/appium-doctor"

    # Run appium in background and logging to appium_log.txt file
    - "./node_modules/.bin/appium --log-level info > appium_log.txt &"


5. Run Emulator

.travis.yml


...


before_script:

    # Create emulator (emulator image version should be exist in previous android setting)
    - echo no | android create avd --force -n test -t android-22 --abi armeabi-v7a

    # Run emulator
    - emulator -avd test -no-skin -no-window &
    - android-wait-for-emulator
    - adb shell input keyevent 82 &


6. Build and Test

.travis.yml


script:
    - "./gradlew assemble" # Build
    - pytest # Test

after_script:
    - cat ./appium_log.txt # Check appium log


Final result of .travis.yml
