sauce-ondemand-plugin 1.129
When selecting a platform with Appium the 'browser' environment variable gives the wrong value. This causes the test to not be able to start in Sauce Labs.
For example: when selecting "Appium + iPhone 8.0 (portrait)", these are the values that I get for the environment variables set by the plugin:
platform: 'iOS' version: '8.0' browser: 'iphone' device: 'iPhone Simulator' deviceType: None
The platforms configurator in Sauce Labs indicates that these should be the desired capabilities that I should be using for "Appium + iPhone 8.0 (portrait)":
caps['browserName'] = "Safari" caps['appiumVersion'] = "1.4.3" caps['deviceName'] = "iPhone Simulator" caps['deviceOrientation'] = "portrait" caps['platformVersion'] = "8.0" caps['platformName'] = "iOS"
As you can see when using Appium the 'browser' should be 'Safari' instead of 'iphone'. Thus this is how I have to set my desired capabilities to make things work:
desired_capabilities = {}
desired_capabilities['platformName'] = os.environ.get('SELENIUM_PLATFORM')
desired_capabilities['platformVersion'] = os.environ.get('SELENIUM_VERSION')
desired_capabilities['deviceName'] = os.environ.get('SELENIUM_DEVICE')
desired_capabilities['browserName'] = 'Safari'
desired_capabilities['appium-version'] = '1.4.3'
