Running C# tests using Appium and AltTester® on Bitbar cloud devices

Server-Side

Follow Running Cloud-Side Appium tests to prepare zip archive.

1. Upload zip with all tests and with run-test.sh script to launch test execution at the root level of the package.
2. Upload .apk / .ipa
3. Create new test run with previously uploaded files

Server-side with AltTester® Server running in a separate Windows VM, accessible by both tests and game build through IP.

Tested setup using AltTester® Server running in a Windows Azure VM. The conditions for the connection to work:

• the IP of the VM needs to be specified in BaseTest.cs when altDriver is instantiated.
• the game build needs to be instrumented with the same host IP.

Server-side with AltTester® Server running in Bitbar Ubuntu VM (localhost)

The script which is executed on Bitbar VM needs to contain the installation and launching of the AltTester® Desktop build.

Client-Side

Follow Running Client-Side Appium tests to have an overview of the requirements.

1. Upload .apk / .ipa
2. Set & load BITBAR_APIKEY and BITBAR_APP_ID_SDK_202 as environment variables
3. Prepare appium and bitbar specific capabilities in SetupAppium function from BaseTest.cs.
4. To be able to connect to AltServer running in a separate Windows VM, accessible by both tests and game build through IP, set HOST_ALT_SERVER as environment variable.

! NOTE: Running client side tests with AltTester® Server running on same machine is failing even if using SmartBear SecureTunnel. We assume this is happening due to websocket implementation and incompatibility with AltTester® Server.
