Start installed mobile application in Katalon Studio

Attached is the sample project using the same approach I’ve given before. Before jumping into this project, make sure you read our approach carefully to understand why do we need to define these own capabilities by yourself, and have a brief read about Appium architecture

Explainations

  • Appium server is started manually with the help of AppiumServer utilitiy, and of course it will be terminated right after test execution based on where it is called. For the current instance of this project, these setup and teardown steps are placed on Listeners script.
  • The actual custom keyword is: startInstalledApplication in com.mobile.keywords package. Since Android and iOS are different mobile types, I separate them conditionally. This keyword also initialize necessary capabilities to start installed application (using appPackage and appAcvitity capabilities) in the current device through deviceInformation parameter.

The key interface to let Katalon Studio re-use Appium session started by vanilla AppiumDriverLocalService is:

AppiumDriverManager.createMobileDriver(DriverType driverType, DesiredCapabilities capabilities, URL appiumServerUrl)

Now let’s move on why we need to do this:

  • When using Start Application built-in keyword, Katalon Studio will automatically start an Appium server using random port to prevent ports confliction. We need a static port here to hook into as we start Appium server by our own.
  • Starting installed application requires us to build Appium desired capabilities from scratch, so startInstalledApplication will do all these things.

References to get capabilities:
https://www.toolsqa.com/mobile-automation/appium/how-to-find-apppackage-and-appactivity-for-apk-file/
http://appium.io/docs/en/writing-running-appium/caps/

Usage in the test case Test Cases/Verify Correct Alarm Message:

  • Local variables should be created to define necessary capabilities. appPackage and appActivity here is the API Demo application included and used in Katalon sample project.

  • In the test script, just replace Start Application keyword with the custom keyword along with its method signature:
    //Mobile.startApplication(appPath, false) CustomKeywords.'com.mobile.keywords.ApplicationBehavior.startInstalledApplication'("Android", deviceInformation, appPackage, appActivity)

  • Execute Regression Tests Test Suite. Once Test Suite execution happens (because my Listeners script belongs to Test Suite execution phase), Katalon Studio can start an existing application in the device and further Mobile keywords don’t need to be maintained.

This is the most basic implementation to solve ‘How to launch an installed app using Katalon Studio’.
Other adjustments can be made to applied for Test Case execution phase based on Listeners script.

Greetings.

I’m trying to start installed GMail app on android studio emulator. Added described capabilities and custom script.

43889×80 12.2 KB

CustomKeywords.‘com.mobile.keywords.ApplicationBehavior.startInstalledApplication’(“Android”, deviceInformation, appPackage, appActivity)

But my test case fails with error:

Test Cases/Launch gmail FAILED.
Reason:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mobile.keywords.ApplicationBehavior
at com.kms.katalon.core.main.CustomKeywordDelegatingMetaClass.getCustomKeywordClassAndSetMetaClass(CustomKeywordDelegatingMetaClass.java:100)
…

I am novice in Katalon studio. Did I miss something?

Hi mekx. Double check Keywords and Test Listeners within Tests Explorer on your project have been updated to match the same as the Keywords and Test Listeners on the mobile.zip example posted by Vinh_Nguyen.

Once done, ensure Appium is running. I did this and it is now working for me.
