   • For Mac and Linux, run python --version to see what python version is pre-installed. If you want a different version download from here

2. Package Manager pip

   Note : pip comes installed with python 3.4+

   • If pip is not installed, follow these instructions:

     • Securely download get-pip.py by following this link: get-pip.py or use following cURL command to download it:

     curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

     • After dowloading, run the file :

       • For Python 3

         python3 get-pip.py

Install the dependencies

To install the dependencies, run the following command in project's base directory:

• For Python 3

  pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Getting Started

Getting Started with Appium tests in Python on BrowserStack couldn't be easier!

Run your first test :

Open Android or iOS folder :

• If you have uploaded your app then add the app id to the browserstack.yml config file, or you can directly specify the path to your app in the browserstack.yml file.

• Run browserstack-sdk python browserstack_sample.py

• You can access the test execution results, and debugging information such as video recording, network logs on App Automate dashboard

---

Use Local testing for apps that access resources hosted in development or testing environments :

Open Android or iOS folder :

• Ensure that browserstackLocal capability is set to true in the browserstack.yml file

• If you have uploaded your app then add the app id to the browserstack.yml config file, or you can directly specify the path to your app in the browserstack.yml file.

• Run browserstack-sdk python browserstack_sample_local.py

• You can access the test execution results, and debugging information such as video recording, network logs on App Automate dashboard

Integration with other python frameworks

For other Python frameworks samples, refer to following repositories :

• Behave
• Lettuce

Note: For other test frameworks supported by App-Automate refer our Developer documentation
