This is most useful for tests which follow a previous successful test, or tests being run on the same emulators or devices over and over. If you know that your device is already in the proper state then you can set skipDeviceInitialization to true and skip the time it takes to reinstall it.Īppium already checks if the settings app is already installed on the device, but with this capability enabled it even skips the check to see if the app is installed. Without the io.ttings app, the Appium Android driver cannot automate these functions, but if the device previously had this app installed by Appium, it doesn't need to install it again. This special app is installed by the Appium Android Driver at the beginning of each test and is used to manage specific settings on the device, such as:
skipDeviceInitializationĪvailable for all Android platforms, the skipDeviceInitialization desired capability can be passed with the boolean value true to skip installing the io.ttings app on the device. Under the right circumstances these can improve the time it takes to start an Android session. Thanks to Appium contributor there are two new desired capabilities available in the latest Appium beta release (see our earlier post on how to install beta versions of Appium). In the past, I've labeled his contributions to Appium Pro "guest posts", but as of now, Jonah has officially joined Cloud Grey as a partner! More to come about Jonah later, but meanwhile get ready to see more of him in this newsletter, on Appium's GitHub, and around the world consulting with you all. Happy start of 2019! This is another post from Appium contributor Jonah Stiennon.
