Troubleshooting Appium Java TestNG web applications in AWS Device Farm

The following topic lists error messages that occur during the upload of Appium Java TestNG Web application tests and recommends workarounds to resolve each error.

APPIUM_WEB_JAVA_TESTNG_TEST_PACKAGE_UNZIP_FAILED

If you see the following message, follow these steps to fix the issue.

Warning

We could not open your test ZIP file. Please verify that the file is valid and try again.

Make sure that you can unzip the test package without errors. In the following example, the package's name is zip-with-dependencies.zip.

1. Copy your test package to your working directory, and then run the following command:

   $ unzip zip-with-dependencies.zip

2. After you successfully unzip the package, you can find the working directory tree structure by running the following command:

   $ tree .

   A valid Appium Java JUnit package should produce output like the following:

   .
   |— acme-android-appium-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar (this is the JAR containing everything built from the ./src/main directory)
   |— acme-android-appium-1.0-SNAPSHOT-tests.jar (this is the JAR containing everything built from the ./src/test directory)
   |— zip-with-dependencies.zip (this .zip file contains all of the items)
   `— dependency-jars  (this is the directory that contains all of your dependencies, built as JAR files)
         |— com.some-dependency.bar-4.1.jar
         |— com.another-dependency.thing-1.0.jar
         |— joda-time-2.7.jar
         `— log4j-1.2.14.jar

APPIUM_WEB_JAVA_TESTNG_TEST_PACKAGE_JAR_MISSING_IN_DEPENDENCY_DIR

If you see the following message, follow these steps to fix the issue.

Warning

We could not find a JAR file in the dependency-jars directory tree. Please unzip your test package and then open the dependency-jars directory, verify that at least one JAR file is in the directory, and try again.

In the following example, the package's name is zip-with-dependencies.zip.

1. Copy your test package to your working directory, and then run the following command:

   $ unzip zip-with-dependencies.zip

2. After you successfully unzip the package, you can find the working directory tree structure by running the following command:

   $ tree .

   If the Appium Java JUnit package is valid, you will find at least one jar file inside the dependency-jars directory.

   .
