appium / Ruby_lib
Programming Languages
appium_lib
Helper methods for writing cross platform (iOS, Android) tests in Ruby using Appium. Note that user waits should not exceed 120 seconds if they're going to run on Sauce Labs.
Ruby_lib_core is also available as a Ruby client for Appium. ruby_lib
wraps the core library with some additional helpful methods.
Ordinary, ruby_lib
worked with class driver, $driver
, mainly.
We can avoid the class driver with current ruby_lib
, but if you'd like to implement your test cases based on instance driver, @driver
, you can consider using ruby_lib_core
first.
