#pull_file(path) ⇒ Base64-decoded

Pull a file from the simulator/device. On iOS the server should have ifuse libraries installed and configured properly for this feature to work on real devices. On Android the application under test should be built with debuggable flag enabled in order to get access to its container on the internal file system.

Examples:


@driver.pull_file '/local/data/some/path'     #=> Get the file at that path
@driver.pull_file 'Shenanigans.app/some/file' #=> Get 'some/file' from the install location of Shenanigans.app

Parameters:

  • path (String)

    Either an absolute path OR, for iOS devices, a path relative to the app, as described. If the path starts with application id prefix, then the file will be pulled from the root of the corresponding application container. Otherwise the root folder is considered as / on Android and on iOS it is a media folder root (real devices only).

Returns:

  • (Base64-decoded)

    Base64 decoded data

#pull_folder(path) ⇒ Base64-decoded

Pull a folder content from the simulator/device. On iOS the server should have ifuse libraries installed and configured properly for this feature to work on real devices. On Android the application under test should be built with debuggable flag enabled in order to get access to its container on the internal file system.

Examples:


@driver.pull_folder '/data/local/tmp' #=> Get the folder at that path

Parameters:

  • path (String)

    Absolute path to the folder. If the path starts with @applicationId/ prefix, then the folder will be pulled from the root of the corresponding application container. Otherwise the root folder is considered as / on Android and on iOS it is a media folder root (real devices only).

#push_file(path, filedata) ⇒ Object

Place a file in a specific location on the device. On iOS, the server should have ifuse libraries installed and configured properly for this feature to work on real devices. On Android, the application under test should be built with debuggable flag enabled in order to get access to its container on the internal file system.

@driver.push_file "/sdcard/Pictures", file # Push a file binary to /sdcard/Pictures path in Android

Parameters:

  • path (String)

    Either an absolute path OR, for iOS devices, a path relative to the app, as described. If the path starts with application id prefix, then the file will be pushed to the root of the corresponding application container.

  • filedata (String)

    Raw file data to be sent to the device. Converted to base64 in the method.
