Launching world's first AppiumManager API which will manage Appium Server in your Appium Mobile Automation framework...

Today I'm happy to launch the world's first AppiumManager API which will help everyone to do automated install, launch and stopping the Appium server within your mobile appium test automation framework.

It will free you from cumbersome management of Appium server. Let the API handle all these task. To integrate the AppimManager API, first of all you'll need to download the API from sourceforge site

Next also install NodeJS in your machine

Add AppiumManager JAR to your automation framework as an external JAR

Import the following class where you want to start the Appium Server

import org.kushan.appium.manager.*;

Next instantiate an object from AppiumManager class

AppiumManager app = new AppiumManager();

To start the server call the startServer method

app.startServer();

Please note that if you do not have appium in your machine, it will automatically download the latest version and start server or else it will start your default server.

To stop the server call the stopServer method.

app.stopServer();
