Can anyone point me to a way to run the tests on a mobile device?

I want to execute the tests on mobile device. is this possible with botium? If yes, can you please point me to a sample

You mean, you have a smartphone app containing a chatbot ? Or you want to test a chatbot running on a website on a mobile browser ?

Thanks for looking into this. I would like to do both, as part of app and on a mobile browser. Is this possible with botium?

[codeforequity-at]

Testing a chatbot within a mobile browser is supported by the Webdriver Connector, you can find some samples in the repository: https://github.com/codeforequity-at/botium-connector-webdriverio

Botium relies on a running Selenium server, but its very easy to connect Botium with a cloud provider like Saucelabs for example.

Testing chatbots running within a smartphone app is on our Todo list - it won't be much difference to the webdriver connector, because Appium and Selenium are not that different in usage, but we don't have a working sample for it.

thanks for the link. I pulled the repo in my local and i am executing using the below commands and i am getting errors.

npm install npm run selenium

i also tried

npm install npm run phantomjs

i am getting errors like below

Selenium has some requirements on Java, please check first if you have to right java version.

You are trying to use the Selenium server started by the Botium webdriver connector - this doesn't work out of the box. I will add some instructions to the repository Readme later on. Usually, you already have some kind of Selenium server started before using the Botium webdriver connector.

[ShamaUgale]

ok, i will try having a selenium server up and running before running the botium tests. Also do you have any sort of training or execution videos for reference?

[codeforequity-at]

I added some instructions to the Readme file: https://github.com/codeforequity-at/botium-connector-webdriverio/blob/master/README.md

The Webdriver connector is pretty new - we've had some demos at meetups and conferences, but currently there is not much information available, I didn't have the time yet to write a blog post or much documentation, but this will follow for sure in the next weeks.
