I'm looking to start automation of a mobile application. I went through Appium related articles and most of them suggest to use Appium with Javascript. I explored online and setup appium and my code thus far looks like:
var wd = require('wd');
//var app = require('sample-apps');
var remotes = {
local: {
hostname: "localhost",
port: 4723
}
}
var environment = remotes.local;
desiredCaps = {
deviceName: '4d86aed1',
platformVersion: '5.1.1',
platformName: 'Android',
appPackage: 'delhivery.lastmile.dev',
appActivity: 'delhivery.feapp.heavy.ui.LoginActivity'
//app: 'http://appium.s3.amazonaws.com/ContactManager.apk'
},
driver = wd.remote(environment);
driver.init(desiredCaps)
//driver.elementById('etPhoneAL').click()
driver.quit();
The code gets executed and I can view logs in the appium server session. As soon as I uncomment "driver.elementById('etPhoneAL').click()" the script fails instantaneously and no appium logs whatsoever!
Command to trigger script: "node simple-appium-android.js " And the error received:
/home/orgaone/Mobile-Appium/android/simple-appium-android.js:33
driver.elementById('etPhoneAL').click()
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'click' of undefined

I'm new with both Appium and Javascript so any suggestions how I can build a mobile testing framework (things like suggested practices, what framework to use etc.) using the aforementioned would be great!
