How to install multiple apps in Real Devices on LambdaTest using the Appium & NodeJS Webdriver.io Framework

While performing app automation testing with appium on LambdaTest Grid, you might face a scenario where the APP1 that you are testing needs to interact with a few other applications APP2, APP3. In this scenario, LambdaTest offers an easy way out where you can just upload your apps & add them to the multiple apps array. It becomes extremely convenient now where you can just add those URLs & run your tests with ease.

Steps:

You can add the app URLs fetched by uploading your apps in the otherApps capability.

Below is the android-single.conf.js example shown:

exports.config = {
  user: process.env.LT_USERNAME || "YOUR_USERNAME",
  key: process.env.LT_ACCESS_KEY || "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",

  updateJob: false,
  specs: ["./../specs/android-test.js"],
  exclude: [],

  capabilities: [
    {
      build: "NodeJS WebDriverIO Android",
      name: "Sample Test - WebDriverIO",
      isRealMobile: true,
      platformName: "Android",
      deviceName: "Galaxy S9",
      platformVersion: "10",
      app: "YOUR_APP_URL", //Set your APP URL

      // ADD THE APP URL OF OTHER APPS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO INSTALL ON THE SAME DEVICE
      otherApps: "['lt:// ', 'lt:// ']",   //ENTER THE OTHER APP URLs HERE IN AN ARRAY FORMAT

    },
  ],

  logLevel: "info",
  coloredLogs: true,
  screenshotPath: "./errorShots/",
  baseUrl: "",
  waitforTimeout: 10000,
  connectionRetryTimeout: 90000,
  connectionRetryCount: 3,
  path: "/wd/hub",
  hostname: "mobile-hub.lambdatest.com",
  port: 80,

  framework: "mocha",
  mochaOpts: {
    ui: "bdd",
    timeout: 20000,
  },
};

Executing The Tests

npm run single

If you are using an android app, the cURL command will generate an app URL for the corresponding Android app and install the same for running the tests. You can either use our sample 🔗 Android app or upload your own app as discussed earlier.

Execute the following command to run your test on LambdaTest platform:

node ios.js

Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on the LambdaTest App Automation Dashboard.
