@Rahul1970 looks like your using appium-flutter-driver and not appium-flutter-integration-driver

[Rahul1970]

Hi Sai yes i am using appium-flutter-driver whom should i reach out to solve this issue.

[saikrishna321]

@Rahul1970 appium-flutter-driver Any reason your using a driver which depends on deprecated sdk? https://github.com/AppiumTestDistribution/appium-flutter-integration-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#differences-from-appium-flutter-driver

[thuonglai]

hi @Rahul1970 . You can increase appium.newCommandTimeout. May be it interrupt because it

[Rahul1970]

Hi Sai, Thanks for your reply.

i have installed npm install source = npm appium-flutter-driver from cmd line [Appium] Available drivers: [Appium] - uiautomator2@3.7.3 (automationName 'UiAutomator2') [Appium] - flutter@2.8.0 (automationName 'Flutter')

and in desired capability i have used UiAutomator2Options options = new UiAutomator2Options(); // DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities(); options.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, deviceName);// deviceName options.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, deviceName); options.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", true); // dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION,platformVersion); options.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android"); options.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/test/resources/apps/" + AppName); // options.setCapability("automationName","UiAutomator2");

        options.setCapability("automationName", "Flutter");

        options.setCapability("unicodeKeyboard", true);
        options.setCapability("flutter:enableFlutterDriver", true);
        options.setCapability("resetKeyboard", true);
        options.setCapability("printPageSourceOnFindFailure", true);
        options.setCapability("noReset", false);
        //options.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, AutomationName.ANDROID_UIAUTOMATOR2);
        // dc.setCapability("forwardingPort ","45761");

        // dc.setCapability("autoWebview", true);
        // dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Chrome");
        // dc.setCapability("appWaitForLaunch", false);

        // dc.setCapability("appPackage", "com..mobile");
        // dc.setCapability("appActivity", "com..mobile.MainActivity");

        options.setCapability("appPackage", "com.mobile.offlineplay");
        options.setCapability("appActivity", "com.mobile.offlineplay.MainActivity");
        //options.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 300);
        options.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 600);

        options.setChromedriverExecutable(
                "C:\\Users\\Rahul.singh2\\.appium\\node_modules\\appium-flutter-driver\\node_modules\\appium-chromedriver\\chromedriver\\win\\chromedriver.exe");

        driver = new AndroidDriver(service.getUrl(), options);

Hi thuonglai, Thanksfor your reply. I have tried it already it didn't work. Please suggest what else can be tried.

[saikrishna321]

@Rahul1970 you have installed a wrong a flutter driver package.

This is flutter integration.

Please follow readme

[Rahul1970]

hi sai please suggest which driver to install and its command to install either through npm or appium command

[saikrishna321]

@Rahul1970 please follow the readme of this repo

[Sanmejie]

Hi Sai, Do you have any recommendations for a Python-based testing framework for Flutter?
