Does work profile (enterprise) - userProfile supported in katalon?

does work profile (enterprise) - userProfile supported in katalon?
i tried to add userProfile in desired capabilities but app does not launch

C:\Users\tester>adb shell pm list users
Users:
UserInfo{0:Owner:13} running
UserInfo{10:Work profile:50100030} running

katalon desired capabilities
userProfile : 10

when i use cmd adb and app launch successfully.
what is the additional argument i need to setup in katalon?

C:\Users\tester>adb shell am start --user 10 -n “com.ninetest.hd3.work.cac/com.ninetest.hd3.activity.MailActivityEmail”
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.ninetest.hd3.work.cac/com.ninetest.hd3.activity.MailActivityEmail }

Hi @Gan_Jyi_Yng,

Hope this article help to resolve your concern:
http://appium.io/docs/en/writing-running-appium/android/android-shell/index.html

i am not sure what is the doc for?
i managed to move forward one step by launching app by adding this argument at desired capabilities
userProfile : 10
optionalIntentArguments : --user 10 -n “com.ninetest.hd3.work.cac/com.ninetest.hd3.activity.MailActivityEmail”

but still some error during execution

@duyluong the app launch now but i want to let katalon continue wait till i manually navigate to the screen of
com.ninetest.hd3.activity.MailActivityEmail

how can i do it?
so i manually tap first screen - then once reach second screen “com.ninetest.hd3.activity.MailActivityEmail” then katalon script continue run.

i have tried adding WebUI.delay(10)
but it does not work. execution stopped immediately after i manually tap on first screen to navigate to second screen.

@Gan_Jyi_Yng,

Please share the console log

@duyluong new 8.txt (28.6 KB)

just now the log is appium 1.15.1
i updated to Appium v1.19.1 still same error when execute test case.

@duyluong
any idea whats wrong?
what is the command fired by katalon “monkey shell”?

C:\Users\tester\.katalon\tools\android_sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe -P 5037 -s 2529b29c9b0c7ece shell monkey -p com.ninetest.hd3.work.cac -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1

**** No activities found to run, monkey aborted.**

@duyluong or katalon team,

any update on this issue?

i have run the test successfully in robot framework.
let me know if the issues i saw in katalon is bug or?

or how can i use katalon like robot framework? e.g. i input all desired capabilities in the script and let appium interact with it directly.

Hi @Gan_Jyi_Yng,

Can you share your script, the desired capabilities settings and the full console log?

appWaitActivity String *
appWaitDuration String 60000
appPackage String com.test.abc.work.cac
appActivity String com.test.abc.activity.MailActivityEmail
noReset Boolean true
userProfile String 10
appWaitForLaunch Boolean false

log as per what i have attached earlier, here i attached latest.
attached lognew 18.txt (27.7 KB)

Hi @Gan_Jyi_Yng,

Your test failed because com.test.abc.activity.MailActivityEmail is not the main screen so don’t put it the appActivity:

appActivity String com.test.abc.activity.MailActivityEmail

Can you explain a little bit about your app or providing a recorded video on your device? Is com.test.abc.activity.MailActivityEmail the second screen after you touching the first screen right?

this settings works in robotframework.
so i dont think it is due to app activity.
i have splash screen which i tried and not working as well.
i cannot screen record and share with you the app video.

did u see my question above, somehow katalon uses monkey shell?
i believe this is the cause, as monkey shell supported lesser arguments…my app is enterprise app which installed in – user 10, work profile.

katalon mobile has no issue on the similiar app but installed at personal profile.

robotframework capabilities

&{ANDROID-CAPS-WORK} platformName=Android appPackage=com.test.abc.work.cac appActivity=com.test.abc.activity.MailActivityEmail automationName=UiAutomator2 userProfile=10 optionalIntentArguments=–user 10 -n com.test.abc.work.cac/com.test.abc.activity.MailActivityEmail

Hi @Gan_Jyi_Yng,

did u see my question above, somehow katalon uses monkey shell?
i believe this is the cause, as monkey shell supported lesser arguments…my app is enterprise app which installed in – user 10, work profile.

Our startExistingApplication that combines 2 appium commands:

  • startAppiumSession
  • activateApp

The Appium activateApp method uses “monkey shell” to activate your app. Please take a a look at their source code: https://github.com/appium/appium-android-driver/blob/9d120ba76df18ada8c5793af3d42f9b1aa4937cb/lib/commands/app-management.js#L59

To prevent using monkey shell, I think you should try this method instead of using startExistingApplication keyword.

import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.internal.MobileDriverFactory

MobileDriverFactory.startMobileDriver("your app ID")

some progress after changed to use mobiledriver, at main page, katalon is waiting for something.

e[35m[UiAutomator2]e[39m Starting 'com.test.abc.work.cac/com.test.abc.activity.MailActivityEmail and waiting for ‘com.test.abc.work.cac/*’

i guess i need some more lines needed? could you advise?

i removed appWaitActivity record in prj settings and works now.
thanks!
i will find a time to continue develop scripts in katalon… (i have done too much in RobotFramework :frowning:)

but katalon mobile object spy unable to run without the appWaitActivity
any idea how to fix this? or i can use other tool like uiautomatorviewer to capture objects and saved to katalon object repo?

any updates @duyluong ?
how can i spy or record app while there is error?
