I'm evaluating whether testcafe can be driven inside an embedded app, for instance, a Tizen or WebOS Smart TV.
By creating a runner and browser connection one can make the app be fully controlled by navigating to the remoteConnection URL. [1]. But that's replacing the app itself. I'd rather pass on control via insert a script tag to the app's HTML page. Is this scenario possible (even only a subset of features would be exposed?)

We are testing on moblie app using Appium, Which feature is to upload a video on Server. After uploading video it will be visible on Dashboard of Website. The dashboard feature is not present in mobile app. So here We need to check that Video related details using Selenium as it is on Website. Any Suggestion? How can we do this without performing separate tests.
This is integration testing so are in effect two different tests/steps.
You could do it in one project though so you could do something like:
open your mobile app using Appium
upload the video
open a browser using webdriver
navigate to the relevant page and check the video uploaded
close the browser
continue testing or close the mobile app
I'm trying to communicate two React Native apps using Firebase Dynamic Links, only in Android.
When I execute openLink with the URL of the other, I see the browser for a second, and then it opens the other app well.
I don't want to see an intermediate browser before open the other app.
I'm having that issue from app A to B, and viceversa.
So, why is the browser opening first? And how can I configure the apps in order to not open the browser?
it's default behavior of android devices.
usually if any link supported by app and its set default to open link then it will open directly otherwise android system opens browser and based on Link URI scheme navigate to app.
there is one solution,
You can create module (intent activity) which will launch that app directly.
Steps to follow
pass data from js to native module and from that use Intent class, set data and start it.
this was for Android use case.
We have a desktop application for which the user enters some registration details (e.g. support code), and can then use the application.
We would like to be able to automatically fill our support website ticket form with this information, even if the desktop application is not running.
So far we've considered:
InternetSetCookie - but it only works for Windows+IE
use Selenium to create cookies for all major browsers (seems an overkill, and required us to distribute Selenium along with our app)
have a JS service always run in the background
Are there better alternatives?
I have a requirement to open the native version of the hybrid app (.ipa/.apk/.appx) when the hybrid app is requested in a device browser.
I am able to detect the environment using WL.Client.getEnvironment(); method, if it is found to be Android/iPad, I want to launch the respective .apk/.ipa file in the device. Any help is appreciated.
Re-reading this question and the comments several times... I still do not understand the actual scenario... it'd be best to rephrase it.
Scenario: How to open an app from the web browser:
If you have added the following environments to your Worklight application:
Mobile Web
Android
iPhone
And when visiting the Mobile Web version of your app, you want to display a message like "For the full experience, open the full application by clicking here".
Then:
It is implied that the user already has the application installed.
If it is not installed, you need to take care of that somehow
The way to handle this scenario is to use URI schemas:
For Android: How to implement my very own URI scheme on Android
This means that after adding the custom URI schema to AndroidManifest.xml, you could then detect the device OS the Mobile Web app is currently running on and display a custom link: myapp://<the URI schema you've defined>. Tapping it will open the app installed on the device.
For iOS, in a similar fashion: https://coderwall.com/p/mtjaeq
Also see: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes
Alternate solution: If you are not sure if the app will be installed or not, then instead of using URI schemas you can always point to either Google Play or Apple App Store, to the app page; the user will then have either a "Open" or "Install" link.
Scenario: How to open an app from my own app
If you have a Worklight Hybrid application (Mobile Web is not a Hybrid application), and you want to open another application from within it, you can:
Use the same approach of URI schemas, or
Use Cordova plug-ins
I have created this Worklight 6.1.0 project to demonstrate:
Android - How to open, for example, the Android Settings app from your Worklight Hybrid app
iOS - How to check if Waze is installed and open it, and if it is not installed then to open Apple Maps instead.
See instructions.txt in the apps\test folder.
Are you asking that if the user via their device browser hits the webapp version of your app on the internet, the website will ask the user to fire up the native app on their device? kind of like what ebay does?
if that is what you want check out these pages
android:Launch custom android application from android browser
IOS:
iPhone - Open Application from Web Page
I have an iPhone application that contains a UIWebView for rendering certain UI aspects. The UIWebView content communicates with the Objective-C side through NSURLRequests. I'd like to test the UIWebView contents with Selenium so it could be automated.
The problem is the communication with the native side, as this is not supported by Selenium. Therefore, a way is needed to "fake" the Objective-C side. The UIWebView sends requests to a specific (non-existant) URL that are then interpreted by the native code and processed. When running the UIWebView's contents with Selenium, these requests will always fail.
Is there a way to somehow provide support in Selenium that would allow catching these requests and providing a dummy response, or is there a better tool for this?
Preferably, I'd also like to run the Selenium tests with Sauce Labs, or a similar Selenium service, so hacking /etc/hosts is not an option either.
Have you tried Appium? It should allow you to write WebDriver tests that invoke the UIAutomation library.
