[] To Get this project running on an OSX machine, install the following:

• java jdk 8
• maven
• IntelliJ IDE (community edition) (Any other Java IDE like eclipse should also be fine, but I haven't tried it)

[] After installation:

• launch IntelliJ IDE
• select 'File -> Open'
• select the 'pom.xml' file of this project.

[] Project layout:

• BaseTest.java is the Base class that initiates AppiumDriver, sets capabilities, contains helper methods.

• 'pages' package holds all classes related to the application / URL pages

• 'tests' package holds the JUnit test to interact with Chrome browser.

• the console output is available to view in 'sampleConsoleLogtxt'

• NOTE - Should work both on emulator and device. However, I have tried it only on device since my machine slows down a lot when emulator is launched. to run on emulator, uncomment the 'avd' capability in BaseTest.java

[] To execute the test:

• Start Appium server
• Connect Android device or launch Android emulator with Chrome application installed.
• From IntelliJ IDE
  • from 'Project' panel, expand the 'tests' package
  • right click on the junit test class Eg. 'Test_001_Browse_Print_Bookmark_Base_flows', and select 'Run'

NOTE - I had to downgrade Chromedriver to execute these tests. -> Download Chromium version 2.22 from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html and save it in appium/node_modules/android-chrome-driver/ path
