Set Up Testing with Appium - Amazon Vega Docs

Appium uses the automation toolkit to run user interface (UI) tests on your Fire TV Stick or Vega Virtual Device. This page shows you how to set up the testing environment.

Prerequisites

Complete the steps in Install Appium for Vega Integration.
Set up a Fire TV Stick or Vega Virtual Device. For set up instructions, see Run your app on a Fire TV Stick or Run your app on Vega Virtual Device.

Set up Appium

Before you can run your tests using Appium, complete the following steps:

Start the Appium server.
appium
The Appium server starts and the terminal shows its listener address and port.
Create a new file to enable service touch on a Fire TV Stick or Vega Virtual Device.
kepler exec vda shell "touch /tmp/automation-toolkit.enable"
The command returns with no output, which confirms the automation toolkit file was created.

Next steps

Your testing environment is now ready. To write and run UI tests, see Install Appium for Vega Integration for the toolkit reference, then run your tests against the device you set up.
