Session

Create New Session

Java:

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "10.3");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "iPhone Simulator");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "XCUITest");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, "/path/to/ios/app.zip");

URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub");

IOSDriver driver = new IOSDriver(url, desiredCapabilities);
String sessionId = driver.getSessionId().toString();

Python:

desired_caps = desired_caps = {
  'platformName': 'Android',
  'platformVersion': '7.0',
  'deviceName': 'Android Emulator',
  'automationName': 'UiAutomator2',
  'app': PATH('/path/to/app')
}
self.driver = webdriver.Remote('http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps)

Description
The server should attempt to create a session that most closely matches the desired and required capabilities.

JSONWP Spec Required capabilities have higher priority than desired capabilities and must be set for the session to be created W3C Spec capabilities.alwaysMatch must be set for session to be created; capabilities.firstMatch must match at least one (the first one to match will be used)

End Session

Java:driver.quit();
Python:self.driver.quit()

Get Session Capabilities

Retrieve the capabilities of the specified session

Java:Map<String, Object> caps = driver.getSessionDetails();
Python:desired_caps = self.driver.desired_capabilities()

Go Back

Navigate backwards in the browser history, if possible (Web context only)

Java:driver.back();
Python:self.driver.back()

Take Screenshot

Take a screenshot of the current viewport/window/page

Java:File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
Python:screenshotBase64 = self.driver.get_screenshot_as_base64()

Get Page Source

Get the current application hierarchy XML (app) or page source (web)

Java:String pageSource = driver.getPageSource();
Python:source = self.driver.page_source

Set Timeouts

Configure the amount of time that a particular type of operation can execute for before they are aborted

Java:driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Python:self.driver.set_page_load_timeout(5000)

Set Implicit Wait Timeout

Set the amount of time the driver should wait when searching for elements

Java:driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Python:self.driver.implicitly_wait(5000)

Set Script Timeout

Set the amount of time, in milliseconds, that asynchronous scripts executed by execute async are permitted to run before they are aborted (Web context only)

Java:driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Python:self.driver.set_script_timeout(5000)

Get Orientation

Get the current device/browser orientation

Java:ScreenOrientation orientation = driver.getOrientation();
Python:orientation = self.driver.orientation()

Set Orientation

Set the current device/browser orientation

Java:driver.rotate(ScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE);

Python:driver.orientation = "LANDSCAPE"

Get Geolocation

Get the current geo location

Java:Location location = driver.location(); // Must be a driver that implements LocationContext
Python:location = self.driver.location()

Set Geolocation

Set the current geo location

Java:driver.setLocation(new Location(49, 123, 10)); // Must be a driver that implements LocationContext
Python:self.driver.set_location(49, 123, 10)

Get available log types

Get the log for a given log type. Log buffer is reset after each request

Java:Set<String> logTypes = driver.manage().logs().getAvailableLogTypes();
Python:log_types = driver.log_types();

Get Logs

Get the log for a given log type. Log buffer is reset after each request

Java:LogEntries logEntries = driver.manage().logs().get("driver");
Python:logs = driver.get_log(‘driver‘);

Update Device Settings

Update the current setting on the device

Java:driver.setSetting(Setting.WAIT_FOR_IDLE_TIMEOUT, Duration.ofSeconds(5));
Python:self.driver.update_settings({"sample": "value"}))

Retrieve Device Settings

Retrieve the current settings on the device

Java:Map<String, Object> settings = driver.getSettings();
Python:self.driver.get_settings
