Launching the whole test suite with Appium

Question

Now I am trying to automate hybrid mobile app using Appium. For now I run test suites on android emulators, using GenyMotion or Android SDK emulators, but I have problems with both.

When I launch my tests one by one, one at a time - everything is OK. Sometimes everything is OK even while launching them 2 or 3 at one time.

But when I try to launch the whole test suite (the whole class with test methods) - problems with Appium sessions occur.

My base settings:

public class BaseAppTest {
    protected AppiumDriver driver;

    @BeforeMethod
    public void before() throws Exception
    {
        File appDir = new File("D:\\Build\\");
        File app = new File(appDir, "2015-06-10_13-09-03_amt-en_Development_234.apk");

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();       
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "192.168.56.101:5555");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "Appium");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "4.4");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("autoWebviewTimeout", 5000);
        capabilities.setCapability("app", app.getAbsolutePath());

        driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10000, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();       
        driver.context(contextNames.toArray()[1].toString()); // set context to WEBVIEW_1
        WebDriverRunner.setWebDriver(driver);


    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void afterMethod()
    {
       driver.quit();
    }
}

Inside tests I use Selenide, also use navigation from URL to URL and LocaleStorage injections:

public class WGCTest extends BaseAppTest {

    @BeforeMethod
    public void before() throws Exception {
        super.before();
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        //driver.navigate().to(BaseSelectors.URL);
        LocalStorageInjector.clearStorage(getWebDriver());
        open(BaseSelectors.URL);
    }

}

And testSuite:

@BeforeMethod
public void before() throws Exception {
        super.before();
        Injections.injectionWeek0(getWebDriver());
        open(WGCSelectors.URL);
        //driver.navigate().to(WGCSelectors.URL);
        //WebDriverRunner.setWebDriver(driver);
    }


    @Test
    @Features(MyFeatures.WGC)
    @Stories("Clicking links")
    public static void clickingHowItWorksLink()
    {
        WGCTestMethods2.clickHowItWorksLink(weight85, weight300, feet5, inches0);
    }

    @Test
    @Features(MyFeatures.WGC)
    @Stories("Checking default structure")
    public static void checkDefaultStructure()
    {
        WGCTestMethods2.defaultStructureChecking();
    }

    @Test
    @Features(MyFeatures.WGC)
    @Stories("Filling fields and checking saving")
    public static void settingPreWeightFieldAndCheckChangesGotSaved() {
        WGCTestMethods2.settingPreWeightField(weight85);
    }

I think something is wrong is settings or annotations, cause each tests is OK separately... But what is wrong?

Please help find my mistakes! Thank you!

Answer 1

You are getting this error because already a session exists for the same parameters. Please change your annotation from @BeforeMethod to @BeforeTest and the same for @AfterTest. In this way the before and after steps will be provided once time before/after the whole test suite.
