Android tests with Appium and Gradle

Question

I recently started looking at doing some functional testing with Appium. I would like to run the Appium tests through Android studio via gradle.

Has anyone attempted to do this and if so can you give me some information on the setup, such as what gradle tasks to use etc.

I have included the necessary dependencies in my build file:

androidTestCompile('io.appium:java-client:2.0.0')

I have a sample test below, I just need a way of running it via gradle :)

package com.appium.trial;

import junit.framework.Assert;

import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class TrialTest {
private static WebDriver wd;

@Before
public void setUp() {
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    capabilities.setCapability("appium-version", "1.0");
    capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
    capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.4");
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Samsung Galaxy S4 - 4.2.2 - API 17 - 1080x1920");
    capabilities.setCapability("app", "/Users/chuckster/Documents/Dev/AppiumTrial/appium-trial.apk");
    capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.appium.trial");
    capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.appium.trial.TrialTest");

    try {
        wd = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    wd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

@Test
public static void testThatClickingTheMotorSectionLeadsToSubSection(){

    wd.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.LinearLayout[1]/android.widget.FrameLayout[2]/android.widget.RelativeLayout[1]/android.widget.FrameLayout[1]/android.widget.FrameLayout[1]/android.widget.ScrollView[1]/android.widget.RelativeLayout[1]/android.widget.LinearLayout[1]/android.widget.LinearLayout[5]/android.widget.TextView[1]")).click();
    wd.close();
}

@After
public void tearDown() {
    if (wd != null) {
        wd.quit();
    }
    }
}

Running this in the command line should look through all the classes in your project for one called TrialTest and run only those tests

gradle -Dtest.single=TrialTest

You have to have a gradle task called test though. Make sure you have this in your build.gradle file

test {
    testLogging{
        events 'started', 'passed'
    }
}
