Android: The desired capabilities must include either an app, appPackage or browserName

[mikk150]

How to tell to Appium that I require Chrome browser?

[vania-pooh]

@mikk150 just use browserName = chrome.

[mikk150]

but I have to use browserName = android in order for it to give me android

[vania-pooh]

@mikk150 then use deviceName = android.

[mikk150]

@mikk150 then use deviceName = android.

@vania-pooh and then we are at square one

[mikk150]

do I have to say in browsers.json that chrome image is android?

this part is really badly documented...

I want to test Chrome browser on Android

[vania-pooh]

@mikk150 you don't have to use deviceName = android in case of Chrome Mobile. Should have the following capabilities:

browserName = chrome
version = mobile-75.0

And you should have the same browser name and version in browsers.json.

I have the same issue. I'm trying to run tests in selenoid/android:8.1 so in browsers.json I added:

"android": {
  "default": "8.1",
  "versions": {
    "8.1": {
      "image": "selenoid/android:8.1",
      "port": "4444",
      "tmpfs": {"/tmp":"size=512m"}
    }
  }
}

and trying to start it by setting capabilities:

desiredCapabilities.setBrowserName("android");
desiredCapabilities.setVersion("8.1");

in selenoid/android:8.1 container I got error:

[AndroidDriver] Error: The desired capabilities must include either an app, appPackage or browserName

Try to change android to chrome and version to mobile-77.0 in browsers.json, image should remain the same...

@czenczakm These images are used for testing mobile applications in Android emulator and logically you have to specify which application to test. This is done via app capability. E.g. https://github.com/aerokube/demo-tests/blob/master/src/test/java/com/aerokube/selenoid/AndroidRemoteApkTest.java To work with Chrome Mobile use selenoid/chrome:mobile-77.0 image.

[mikk150]

selenoid/chrome:mobile-77.0

Please, try to download selenoid/chrome:mobile-77.0 image, you will see that it fails miserably because those images do not exist

[vania-pooh]

@mikk150 did not build yet. Older versions exist.

I see no tags here... if I am not mistaken they should be here

[vania-pooh]

@mikk150 https://hub.docker.com/r/selenoid/chrome-mobile/tags However browserName should be chrome.

@vania-pooh

А есть возможность добавить chrome к образу selenoid/android? чтобы при тестировании из ссылки внутри приложения можно было перейти в гугл хром, а не в стандартный браузер?

[vania-pooh]

@DimqBBSQO selenoid/android это по определению образ без Хрома. Вы всегда можете собрать себе такой образ самостоятельно, используя наши скрипты.
