pyfrank - python binding for iOS automation using frank.
pyfrank is an API to interact with frank, the iOS automation framework.
#Installation
Option 1:
-
Clone this repo or download the sources
-
cd pyfrank -
python setup.py build -
sudo python setup.py install
Option 2:
sudo pip install pyfrank
#It's that simple
from pyfrank import *
# We are running a simulator with frank locally on port 32765
device = Device(host='127.0.0.1', port=32765)
# Get the view representing a tab-bar button with the label "Mail"
view = device.getView(UiQuery("tabBarButton", {'marked': "Mail" }))
# Touch the button
response = view.touch()
if isinstance(response, Success):
logging.info("Test mail button succeeded!");
elif isinstance(response, Failure):
logging.error("Test mail button failed: %s", response)#The object model
Device
The first entry point for interacting with frank. It's constructor receives the host and the port of the frank enabled device.
###Example:
from pyfrank import *
device = Device("127.0.0.1", 32765)
# Type text into the keyboard
device.typeIntoKeyboard("abc")
# Execute a method
device.appExec("methodSignature", "arg1", "arg2", ...)
# Get the accesibility state
accessibilityEnabled = device.accessibilityCheck()
# Get the device orientation
orientation = device.getOrientation()
if orientation == Orientation.PORTRAIT:
print "Portrait"
elif orientation == Orientation.LANDSCAPE:
print "Landscape"
# Get the application layout graph
dump = device.dump()UiQuery
In frank views can be found using a special query language called "UiQuery".
###Example:
from pyfrank import *
UiQuery("view:'UIImageView' marked:'ProfilePicture'")- Additional documentation on UiQuery can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/uispec/wiki/Documentation#UIQuery
View
View allows to perform operations on the view(s) that match a UiQuery.
#Get the profile picture view
view = device.getView(UiQuery({'view': 'UIImageView'}, {'marked': 'ProfilePicture'}))
#Flash the profile picture
r = view.flash()
#Test for success
if isinstance(r, Success):
print "Flashed the profile picture!"
else:
print "Failed flashing profile picture"
#Touch the profile picture
r = view.touch()
#Get the title text input view
input = device.getView(UiQuery({'view', 'UITextField'}, {'marked': 'Title'}))
r = input.setText("New title text")
if isinstance(r, Success):
print "Title input was changed successfully."
else:
print "Failed changing title input"Retrieve a view property
view = device.getView(UiQuery({'view':'UILabel'}, { 'marked':'Pull down to refresh...' }))
#
# Pull out the 'text' attribute.
r = view.text()
if isinstance(r, Success):
labelText = r['results'][0]
print "The text of the UILabel is", labelText
else:
print "I seriously failed to retrieve the UILabel text attribute", rTake a screenshot
device.screenshot(fileName='snapshot.jpg')Run javascript code inside a WebView
view = device.getView(UiQuery('webView', { 'index':0 }))
# Fetch the URL from JS
url = view.stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString('location.href').results()[0]
print "URL:", url
# Pop up an alert box
view.stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString("alert('Hello from pyfrank!')")
