WebDriver spec protocol for smart phone testing draft. For iOS and Android

One day I decide to make a phone manager platform and also decide to let this platform to support some REST API that can easily operate phone.

Then I google something relative, and found WebDriver spec, saddly this is decided for web testing, not for phone. Project facebook/WebDriverAgent is a good project that can reference, make some extension for WebDriver spec. So I decide to write it out as a draft, that will guide that phone manager platform develop in a right direction.

• Some are from WebDriver spec
• facebook/WebdriverAgent project

This is list of most common endpoints with some query examples using curl with pre-set environment variables:

• DEVICE_URL set as device URL (eg. http://somehost/webdriver)
• SESSION_ID set as session id. Returned by start session command e.g. D15E12F6-CA23-4CD4-89F9-E5C5EA6F4FAD
• JSON_HEADER='-H "Content-Type: application/json"'

The RESTful API split into two part, session apis and without session apis.

APIs do not need a app started.

GET /windows/size

$ curl -X POST -d '{"key": "HOME"}' $DEVICE_URL/keyevent
{
	"status": 0,
	"value": "keyevent: HOME"
}

Android key can be the following string.

• HOME
• EDIT
• BACK

iOS got only HOME works

$ curl -X GET $DEVICE_URL/screenshot
{
	"status": 0,
	"value": "{base64 encoded data}"
}

Create a session

POST /session

GET /session

DELETE /session/{sessionId}

Most API reference openstf REST API

TODO here.

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-TOKEN-HERE" /api/user
{
	"email": "[email protected]",
	"name": "无名",
	"nickname": "unknown",
	"id": "https://login.netease.com/openid/unknown/"
}

Attempts to add a device under the authenticated user's control. This is analogous to pressing "Use" in the UI.

$ curl -X POST --data '{"serial":"EP7351U3WQ"}' /api/user/devices
{
	"success": true
}

$ curl -X DELETE /api/user/devices/{serial}
{
	"success": true
}

Allows you to retrieve the remote debug URL(i.e. an adb connect able address)

$ curl -X POST /api/devices/{serial}/remoteConnect
{
	"success": true,
	"description": "Device connected",
	"remoteConnectUrl": "10.0.0.1:5555"
}

Disconnect a remote debugging session.

$ curl -X DELETE /api/devices/{serial}/remoteConnect
{
	"success": true
}

$ curl -X POST --data '{"apkUrl":"https://static.dongqiudi.com/app/apk/dongqiudi_website.apk"}' /api/device/{serial}/installApk
{
	"success": true,
	"taskId": 1
}
