title: How Does Appium Work?
title: Appium 如何工作?
---
As mentioned on the main page, Appium is an open-source project and ecosystem of related software,
designed to facilitate UI automation of many app platforms. With the release of Appium 2, Appium
has the following primary goals:[^1]
正如主页所述Appium 是一个开源项目和相关软件生态系统,旨在促进多种应用平台的 UI 自动化。 随着 Appium 2 的发布Appium 具有以下主要目标:[^1]
- Make platform-specific automation capabilities available under a cross-platform, standard API
- Allow easy access to this API from any programming language
- Provide tools to enable convenient community development of Appium extensions
- 在跨平台标准 API 下提供特定于平台的自动化功能
- 允许从任何编程语言轻松访问此 API
- 提供工具以便社区方便地开发 Appium 扩展
[^1]: To meet these primary goals, we also work with a set of secondary goals or methodology
principles, which we also encourage for Appium extension developers:
[^1]: 为实现这些主要目标,我们还遵循一套次要目标或方法原则,我们也鼓励 Appium 扩展开发者遵循这些原则:
- As far as possible, rely on (and contribute to) open source technology
- As far as possible, rely on vendor-provided tools for a given platform
- As far as possible, rely on automation tools that allow automation of unmodified apps (prefer
not to require the user to build in additional SDKs or software that introduce discrepancies
between the test version of the app and the production version)
- As far as possible, rely on existing standards instead of creating new ones
- 尽可能依赖(并贡献于)开源技术
- 尽可能依赖给定平台的供应商提供的工具
- 尽可能依赖不修改应用就能实现自动化(最好不要要求用户构建额外的 SDK 或软件,从而在测试版本和生产版本之间引入差异)的自动化工具
- 尽可能依赖现有标准而不是创建新标准
So, take any app platform you know about, like iOS or Android. Appium wants for there to be a way
for developers and testers to write UI automation code for that platform, according to a single,
unified API. Based on Appium's goals, we have a lot of questions to answer to make it all work:
所以,以您了解的任何应用平台为例,如 iOS Android Appium 希望开发者测试人员能够为该平台编写 UI 自动化代码,根据单一的统一 API。 根据 Appium 的目标,我们有很多问题需要回答以使其全部工作:
- Which API should that "single, unified" API be?
- How do we map that API to automation behaviour for a specific platform?
- How do we make that API accessible via multiple popular programming languages?
- “单一统一”的 API 应该是什么?
- 我们如何将此 API 映射到特定平台的自动化行为?
- 我们如何使此 API 通过多种流行编程语言访问?
There's another, larger, question lurking in the background here too, given that there are more app
platforms out there than just iOS and Android:
这里还有另一个更大的问题,鉴于除了 iOS 和 Android 之外还有更多应用平台:
- How do we enable automation for _all_ the platforms?
- 我们如何为_所有_平台启用自动化
Exploring Appium's answers to these questions may not be the quickest way to learn what Appium is,
but it is certainly a good one! So let's dive in.
探索 Appium 对这些问题的答案可能不是学习 Appium 是什么的最快方式,但它肯定是一个好方法! 所以让我们深入了解。
## Appium's choice of API
## Appium API 选择
Appium is very fortunate to have been preceded by a technology which has been a long-standing
pioneer in the field of UI automation, namely [Selenium](https://selenium.dev). The goal of the
Selenium project has been to support UI automation of web browsers, and in this way we can think of
it as occupying a subset of Appium's goals. Along the way, Selenium (and, after they merged,
another project called WebDriver) developed a relatively stable API for browser automation.
Appium 非常幸运地继承了一个在 UI 自动化领域长期领先的技术,即 [Selenium](https://selenium.dev)。 Selenium 项目的目标是支持 Web 浏览器的 UI 自动化,因此我们可以将其视为占据 Appium 目标子集的一部分。 在此过程中Selenium以及后来合并的另一个名为 WebDriver 的项目)开发了一个相对稳定的浏览器自动化 API。
Over the years, Selenium worked with various web browser vendors and the [W3C](https://w3.org)
standards group to turn its API into an official web browser standard, called the WebDriver
specification. All the main browsers now
implement automation capabilities inline with the WebDriver spec, without the Selenium team having
to maintain any software that performs actual automation; standards for the win!
多年来Selenium 与各种 Web 浏览器供应商和 [W3C](https://w3.org) 标准小组合作,将其 API 转变为官方 Web 浏览器标准,称为 [WebDriver 规范](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/)
所有主要浏览器现在都实现了符合 WebDriver 规范的自动化功能,而无需 Selenium 团队维护任何执行实际自动化的软件;标准获胜!
Appium's initial goals were to develop an automation standard for mobile apps (iOS and Android). We
could have made up something new, but in the spirit of joining forces and keeping standards, well,
standard, we decided to adopt the WebDriver spec as Appium's API.[^2] While user interaction on
websites and in mobile native apps are not entirely identical (with even greater differences once
we start to consider, for example, TV platforms controlled by simple remotes), the fact is that
most software UIs are pretty much the same. This means that the WebDriver spec provides automation
API primitives (finding elements, interacting with elements, loading pages or screens, etc...) that
more or less map to any platform.
Appium 的最初目标是为移动应用iOS 和 Android开发自动化标准。 我们本可以发明一些新的东西,但为了团结力量并保持标准的标准化,我们决定采用 WebDriver 规范作为 Appium 的 API。[^2] 虽然网站和移动原生应用的用户交互并不完全相同(一旦我们开始考虑例如由简单遥控器控制的电视平台,差异会更大),但事实是大多数软件 UI 都非常相似。 这意味着 WebDriver 规范提供了自动化 API 原语(查找元素、与元素交互、加载页面或屏幕等) 这些原语或多或少映射到任何平台。
[^2]: Technically, when Appium was first written, we were dealing with something older than the
WebDriver spec, called the JSON Wire Protocol. Since then, Appium continued to evolve along with
the W3C spec and is fully W3C-compliant.
[^2]: 从技术上讲,当 Appium 首次编写时,我们处理的是比 WebDriver 规范更古老的东西,称为 JSON Wire Protocol。 从那时起Appium 继续与 W3C 规范一起演化,并完全符合 W3C 规范。
Of course, Appium wants to support the cases where user interaction _does_ differ from web to
mobile or web to TV, and so Appium also makes use of the built-in _extensibility_ of the WebDriver
spec. The result is that, no matter what platform you want to automate, when you use Appium, you
will do so using the standard WebDriver spec, with two caveats:
当然Appium 希望支持用户交互从 Web 到移动或 Web 到电视确实不同的情况,因此 Appium 还利用 WebDriver 规范的内置_可扩展性_。 结果是,无论您想要自动化哪个平台,当您使用 Appium 时,您将使用标准 WebDriver 规范,但有两个注意事项:
- We might not have any way to support a particular WebDriver API command on a given platform, and
so some commands might be unsupported (for example, getting or setting cookies is not possible in
the world of native mobile app automation).
- We might support automation behaviours that go _beyond_ what's available in the WebDriver API
command list, though any such commands will be valid and spec-compliant extensions to the
WebDriver API.
- 我们可能无法在给定平台上支持特定的 WebDriver API 命令,因此某些命令可能不受支持(例如,在原生移动应用自动化世界中,获取或设置 cookie 是不可能的)。
- 我们可能支持超出 WebDriver API 命令列表的自动化行为,尽管任何此类命令将是有效的、符合规范的 WebDriver API 扩展。
How do you actually _use_ the WebDriver API, particularly in the context of Appium? We'll cover
that in the [section below](#universal-programming-language-access) on how Appium provides
universal programming language access. All you need to know for now is that the way Appium
introduces a universal UI automation interface is by implementing the WebDriver protocol.
您实际上如何_使用_ WebDriver API特别是 Appium 的背景下? 我们将在下面的[部分](#universal-programming-language-access)中介绍 Appium 如何提供通用编程语言访问。 您现在只需要知道 Appium 通过实现 WebDriver 协议来引入通用 UI 自动化接口。
## Platform automation behaviour
## 平台自动化行为
The next question is, how does Appium map this protocol to automation behaviour on a wide range of
platforms? The trick is that, strictly speaking, Appium doesn't! It leaves this responsibility up
to a kind of software module called an Appium _driver_. There's a whole Driver
Introduction which you can read next, so we won't go into huge detail on how they
work for now.
下一个问题是Appium 如何将此协议映射到广泛平台的自动化行为? 严格来说Appium 没有! 它将此责任留给一种称为 Appium _驱动程序_ 的软件模块。 您可以阅读整个[驱动程序](./drivers.md)的介绍,所以我们现在不会深入细节。
What's important to understand at the moment is that a driver is kind of like a pluggable module
for Appium that gives Appium the power to automate a particular platform (or set of platforms,
depending on the goal of the driver). At the end of the day, a driver's responsibility is to simply
implement an Appium-internal interface representing the WebDriver protocol. How it implements this
interface is totally up to the driver, based on its strategy for making automation happen on
a specific platform. Typically, and with a lot more complexity and difficulty in the details,
a driver does this by relying on platform-specific automation technologies. For example, Apple
maintains an iOS automation technology called
[XCUITest](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest/user_interface_tests). The Appium
driver that supports iOS app automation is called the XCUITest
Driver because ultimately what it does is
convert the WebDriver protocol to XCUITest library calls.
目前重要的是要理解驱动程序有点像 Appium 的可插拔模块,它赋予 Appium 自动化特定平台(或平台集,取决于驱动程序的目标)的能力。 最终,驱动程序的责任只是实现代表 WebDriver 协议的 Appium 内部接口。 它如何实现此接口完全取决于驱动程序,基于其在特定平台上实现自动化的策略。 通常,在细节上具有更多复杂性和难度,驱动程序通过依赖特定于平台的自动化技术来实现这一点。 例如Apple 维护一种称为 [XCUITest](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest/user_interface_tests) 的 iOS 自动化技术。 支持 iOS 应用自动化的 Appium 驱动程序称为 [XCUITest 驱动程序](https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver),因为它最终所做的是将 WebDriver 协议转换为 XCUITest 库调用。
One of the reasons that drivers are independent, pluggable modules is that they work completely
differently from one another. The tools and requirements for building and using drivers for
different platforms are completely different. And so Appium lets you use just the drivers that you
need for your automation tasks. Choosing drivers and installing them so that you can use them with
your Appium instance is so important that Appium has its very own CLI for managing
drivers.
驱动程序是独立、可插拔模块的原因之一是它们彼此完全不同。 构建和使用不同平台的驱动程序的工具和要求完全不同。 因此Appium 让您只使用您自动化任务所需的驱动程序。 选择驱动程序并安装它们以便与您的 Appium 实例一起使用非常重要,以至于 Appium 有自己的 [CLI 来管理驱动程序](../reference/cli/extensions.md)。
So, to answer our original question, the way that Appium provides access to automation capabilities
for a given platform is that the Appium team (or anyone else[^3]) writes a _driver_ for that
platform, implementing as much or little of the WebDriver protocol as desired. The driver can then
be installed by anyone using Appium.
因此为了回答我们最初的问题Appium 为给定平台提供自动化功能访问的方式是 Appium 团队(或任何人[^3]为该平台编写一个_驱动程序_实现 WebDriver 协议的尽可能多或少的部分。 然后,任何使用 Appium 的人都可以安装驱动程序。
[^3]: You can build and share your own drivers! Check out Building
Drivers to learn more about how to develop drivers in Node.js
that can be used with Appium.
[^3]: 您可以构建和分享自己的驱动程序! 查看[构建驱动程序](../developing/build-drivers.md)以了解更多关于如何在 Node.js 中开发可与 Appium 一起使用的驱动程序的信息。
## Universal programming language access
## 通用编程语言访问
But what does it mean, or look like, to _use_ Appium, anyway? Since Appium is ultimately a Node.js
program, it _could_ have looked like importing Appium and its drivers as libraries into your own
Node.js programs. But that wouldn't meet Appium's goal of providing automation capabilities to
people using any popular programming language.
但使用 Appium 意味着什么,或者看起来像什么? 由于 Appium 最终是一个 Node.js 程序它_可以_看起来像将 Appium 及其驱动程序作为库导入到您自己的 Node.js 程序中。 但这不会满足 Appium 的目标,即为使用任何流行编程语言的人提供自动化功能。
Luckily, the fact that Appium rode in on Selenium's coattails meant that we had a solution to this
problem from day one. You see, the WebDriver specification is actually an HTTP-based protocol,
meaning it is designed to be used over a network rather than within the memory of a single program.
幸运的是Appium 继承 Selenium 的遗产意味着我们从一开始就有了这个问题的解决方案。 您看WebDriver 规范实际上是一个基于 HTTP 的协议,这意味着它被设计为通过网络而不是单个程序的内存使用。
One of the main benefits of this "client-server" architecture is that it allows the automation
implementer (the thing doing the automation, in this case the 'server') to be completely distinct
from the automation runner (the thing defining what automation should be done, in what steps,
etc..., in this case the 'client'). Basically, all the "hard stuff" (actually figuring out how to
make automation happen on a given platform) can be handled in one place by the server, and "thin"
client libraries can be written in any programming language which simply encode HTTP requests to
the server in language-appropriate way. It's possible, in other words, to bring basic Appium
/ WebDriver capabilities to a new programming language relatively easily, assuming high-level HTTP
libraries exist, simply by coding up a basic HTTP client in that language.
这种“客户端-服务器”架构的主要好处之一是,它允许自动化实现者(执行自动化的事物,在这种情况下是“服务器”)与自动化运行者(定义应该做什么自动化、以什么步骤等的事物,在这种情况下是“客户端”)完全不同。 基本上,所有“困难的东西”(弄清楚如何在给定平台上实现自动化)可以在服务器的一个地方处理,“瘦”客户端库可以在任何编程语言中编写,这些库只需以适合语言的方式编码对服务器的 HTTP 请求。 换句话说,假设存在高级 HTTP 库,只需在该语言中编写基本的 HTTP 客户端,就可以相对容易地将基本的 Appium / WebDriver 功能引入新的编程语言。
There are a couple important takeaways here for you, the Appium user:
这里有几个重要的点供 Appium 用户了解:
- Appium is an _HTTP server_. It must run as a process on some computer for as long as you want to
be able to use it for automation. It must be accessible on the network to whichever computer you
want to use to run the automation from (whether that is the same machine or one across the
world).
- Unless you want to write raw HTTP calls or use cURL, using Appium for automation involves the use
of an [Appium Client](clients.md) in the language of your choice. The goal of each of these
clients is to encapsulate the WebDriver protocol so that rather than worrying about the protocol
itself, you can work with objects and methods that feel idiomatic for your language.
- The Appium server and the Appium client do _not_ need to be running on the same computer. You
simply need to be able to send HTTP requests from the client to the server over some network.
This greatly facilitates the use of cloud providers for Appium, since they can host the Appium
server and any related drivers and devices, and all you need to do is point your client script to
their secure endpoints.
- Appium 是一个_HTTP 服务器_。 只要您想使用它进行自动化,它必须在某台计算机上作为进程运行。 它必须在网络上可访问,以方便您想要运行自动化的任何计算机访问(无论是同一台机器还是世界另一端的机器)。
- 除非您想编写原始 HTTP 调用或使用 cURL否则请使用您选择的语言的 [Appium 客户端](clients.md)进行自动化。 每个客户端的目标是将 WebDriver 协议封装,以便您不必担心协议本身,而是可以使用感觉适合您语言的对象和方法。
- Appium 服务器和 Appium 客户端_不需要_在同一台计算机上运行。 您只需能够通过某个网络从客户端向服务器发送 HTTP 请求。
这大大促进了云提供商对 Appium 的使用,因为他们可以托管 Appium 服务器以及任何相关驱动程序和设备,您只需将客户端脚本指向他们的安全端点。
And of course, none of this is about "testing" per se, purely about the use of Appium and its
client libraries for automation purposes. If you want to do automation for the purpose of
"testing", you'll likely want to enlist the help of test runners, test frameworks, and the like,
none of which need be related to Appium; one of the benefits of Appium's "universal accessibility"
is that it plays well with whatever set of tools you find most beneficial for your situation.
当然,这一切都不是关于“测试”本身,只是出于自动化目的使用 Appium 及其客户端库。 如果您想出于“测试”目的进行自动化,您可能希望利用测试运行器、测试框架等的帮助,这些都不需要与 Appium 相关Appium“通用可访问性”的好处之一是它与您发现最适合您情况的任何工具集配合良好。
## Appium's huge scope
## Appium 的巨大范围
Appium's vision (automation of everything under a single API) is huge! Certainly, much bigger than
the team of core maintainers for the open source project. So how does Appium hope to achieve this
goal? Basically, by empowering the community to develop functionality on top of Appium as
a _platform_. This is what we call the Appium "ecosystem".
Appium 的愿景(在单一 API 下自动化一切)是巨大的! 当然,比开源项目的核心维护者团队大得多。 那么 Appium 如何希望实现这一目标? 基本上,通过授权社区在 Appium 之上作为_平台_开发功能。 这就是我们所谓的 Appium“生态系统”。
The Appium team does officially maintain a few drivers itself (for example, the XCUITest driver
that we spoke about earlier). But it cannot hope to have the platform-specific expertise or the
capacity to maintain drivers for many different platforms. But what we have done, particularly
beginning with Appium 2, is to provide tools to empower the community to join in our vision:
Appium 团队确实自己维护了一些驱动程序(例如,我们之前讨论的 XCUITest 驱动程序)。 但它无法拥有特定于平台的专业知识或维护许多不同平台的驱动程序的能力。 但我们所做的,特别是从 Appium 2 开始,是提供工具来授权社区加入我们的愿景:
- Anyone can create a driver simply by creating a Node.js module that conforms to the appropriate
conventions and implements any (sub|super)set of the WebDriver protocol. Creating a driver often
involves a minimal amount of code because the WebDriver protocol details are abstracted away, and
many helper libraries are available---the same libraries that power the Appium team's own
drivers.
- Sharing drivers with others is easy using the Appium driver CLI. There is no central authority.
Anyone can share drivers publicly or privately, for free or for sale. Drivers can be open or
closed source (though obviously we appreciate open source!).
- 任何人都可以通过创建一个符合适当约定并实现 WebDriver 协议的任何(子|超)集的 Node.js 模块来创建驱动程序。 创建驱动程序通常涉及最少的代码,因为 WebDriver 协议细节被抽象化,许多帮助库可用---这些库为 Appium 团队自己的驱动程序提供动力。
- 使用 Appium 驱动程序 CLI 与他人分享驱动程序很容易。 没有中央权威。
任何人都可以公开或私下分享驱动程序,免费或收费。 驱动程序可以是开源或闭源的(尽管我们欣赏开源!)。
Appium's vision of being a platform for development extends beyond the support of automation for
all app platforms. As a popular automation tool, there are many opportunities for integrating
Appium with all kinds of other tools and services. In addition, there are many feature ideas for
Appium, either as a core server or in its incarnation across various drivers, which the core team
will never have time to build. And so, with Appium 2, Appium has released a plugin system that
enables anyone to build and share modules that change how Appium works!
Appium 作为开发平台的愿景超越了对所有应用平台自动化支持。 作为一个流行的自动化工具,有许多机会将 Appium 与各种其他工具和服务集成。 此外Appium 有许多功能想法,要么作为核心服务器,要么在其各种驱动程序中的化身,核心团队没有足够的时间构建。 因此Appium 2 发布了一个插件系统,使任何人都可以构建和分享改变 Appium 工作方式的模块!
In the same way that drivers are easily shareable and consumable via the Appium driver CLI, plugins
can be published and consumed via a parallel [Plugin CLI](../reference/cli/extensions.md). Plugins
can do all sorts of things, for example adding the ability for Appium to find and interact with
screen regions based on a template image (as in the images). There are very few
limitations on what you can do with plugins, so you might also be interested in learning how to
[Build Plugins](../developing/build-plugins.md) in Node.js that can be used with Appium.
就像驱动程序可以通过 Appium 驱动程序 CLI 轻松分享和消费一样,插件可以通过[插件 CLI](../reference/cli/extensions.md)发布和消费。 插件可以做各种事情,例如添加 Appium 根据模板图像查找和与屏幕区域交互的能力(例如[图像插件](https://github.com/appium/appium/tree/master/packages/images-plugin))。 插件几乎没有限制,所以您可能也对学习如何在 Node.js 中[构建插件](../developing/build-plugins.md)以与 Appium 一起使用感兴趣。
So that's Appium: an extensible, universal interface for the UI automation of potentially
everything! Read on into some of the specific intro docs for more details, or check out the various
guides to dive into some more general concepts and features of Appium.
所以这就是 Appium一个可扩展的、潜在一切的 UI 自动化通用接口! 继续阅读一些具体的介绍文档以获取更多细节,或查看各种指南以深入了解 Appium 的一些更一般概念和功能。

title: Intro to Appium Clients
title: Appium 客户端简介
---
For all the reasons discussed in the [main Overview](./appium.md), Appium is based on the W3C
WebDriver specification. This means that
Appium implements a client-server architecture. The server (consisting of Appium itself along with
any drivers or plugins you are using for automation) is connected to the devices under test, and
is actually responsible for making automation happen on those devices. The client (driven by _you_,
the Appium test author) is responsible for sending commands to the server over the network, and
receiving responses from the server as a result. These responses can be used to tell whether
automation commands are successful, or might contain information that you queried about the state
of the application. This document is a conceptual introduction to the client side of this equation.
出于[概述](./appium.md)中讨论的所有原因Appium 基于 [W3C WebDriver 规范](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/)。 这意味着 Appium 实现了客户端-服务器架构。 服务器(由 Appium 本身以及您用于自动化的任何驱动程序或插件组成)连接到测试设备,并实际负责在这些设备上实现自动化。 客户端由_您_驱动Appium 测试作者)负责通过网络向服务器发送命令,并接收来自服务器的响应。 这些响应可用于判断自动化命令是否成功,或可能包含您查询的关于应用程序状态的信息。 本文档是对客户端方面的概念性介绍。

For more about the server side of the equation (i.e., how does Appium actually control
devices?), check out our [Intro to Appium Drivers](./drivers.md). To skip to a list of links to
Appium client libraries, check out the [list of clients](../ecosystem/clients.md).
有关服务器端的信息(即 Appium 如何实际控制设备?),请查看我们的 [Appium 驱动程序简介](./drivers.md)。要跳转到 Appium 客户端库链接列表,请查看[客户端列表](../ecosystem/clients.md)。
```
What sorts of automation commands are available? That is up to the particular driver and plugins
that you are using in any given session. A standard set of commands would include, for example, the
following:
有哪些自动化命令可用? 那取决于您在任何给定会话中使用的特定驱动程序和插件。 一组标准命令可能包括以下内容:
- Find Element
- Click Element
- Get Page Source
- Take Screenshot
- 查找元素
- 点击元素
- 获取页面源代码
- 截取屏幕截图
If you look at these commands in the WebDriver specification, you'll notice that they are not
defined in terms of any particular programming language. They are not Java commands, or JavaScript
commands, or Python commands. Instead, they form part of an HTTP API which can be accessed from
within _any_ programming language (or none! you could just use cURL if you want).
如果您查看 WebDriver 规范中的这些命令,您会注意到它们不是以任何特定编程语言定义的。 它们不是 Java 命令、JavaScript 命令或 Python 命令。 相反它们形成了可以通过_任何_编程语言访问的 HTTP API 如果您愿意,您可以只使用 cURL
So, for example, the `Find Element` command corresponds to an HTTP `POST` request sent to the HTTP
endpoint `/session/:sessionid/element` (where in this case, `:sessionid` is a placeholder for the
unique session ID generated by the server in a previous call to `Create Session`).
例如,`查找元素`命令对应于发送到 HTTP 端点 `/session/:sessionid/element` 的 HTTP `POST` 请求(其中`:sessionid` 是服务器在之前 `创建会话` 调用中生成的唯一会话 ID 的占位符)。
This information is primarily useful for people developing technology that works with the WebDriver
spec. It's not particularly useful for people trying to write Appium or Selenium tests. When you
write an Appium test, you want to use a programming language you're familiar with. Luckily, there
exist a set of [Appium client libraries](../ecosystem/clients.md)[^1] that take care of the
responsibility of speaking HTTP to the Appium server. Instead, they expose a set of "native"
commands for a particular programming language, so that, to the test author, it just feels like
you're writing Python, or JavaScript, or Java.
此信息主要对开发与 WebDriver 规范一起工作的技术的人有用。 它对试图编写 Appium 或 Selenium 测试的人不是特别有用。 当您编写 Appium 测试时,您希望使用您熟悉的编程语言。 幸运的是,存在一组 [Appium 客户端库](../ecosystem/clients.md)[^1],它们负责向 Appium 服务器发起HTTP 的请求。 它们为特定编程语言公开了一组“原生”命令,以便对测试作者来说,它就像您在编写 Python、JavaScript 或 Java。
As an example, here's the same simple set of Appium commands in five different programming
languages, using the recommended Appium client binding for each language (note that this is not
working sample code including all appropriate imports; see each client library's instructions for
setup and command reference):

Each of these scripts, despite being in different languages, does the same thing under the hood:
尽管这些脚本使用不同的编程语言,但它们在底层做的事情是相同的:
1. Call `Find Element` with a `using` parameter of `xpath` and a `value` parameter expressing the
XPath query used to find an element. (If you're confused about these terms, you might find an
introduction to Appium or Selenium useful)
2. Call `Click Element` with the ID of the element found in the previous call.
3. Call `Get Element Text` with the ID of the same element, and print it to the console.
4. Call `Get Page Source` to retrieve the page/app source and print it to the console.
1. 调用 `Find Element`,使用 `using` 参数值为 `xpath`,以及 `value` 参数表达用于查找元素的 XPath 查询。 (如果你对这些术语感到困惑,可以参考 Appium 或 Selenium 的入门介绍)
2. 使用在上一次调用中找到的元素 ID 调用 `Click Element`。
3. 使用同一元素的 ID 调用 `Get Element Text`,并将其打印到控制台。
4. 调用 `Get Page Source` 来检索页面/应用程序源代码并将其打印到控制台。
The only other thing to keep in mind before choosing or using a client is that each client is
independently maintained. Just because a feature is available in one client, it doesn't mean it's
available in another client (though all clients support at least the standard W3C protocol plus any
common appium extensions). Just because one client has a nice set of helper functions, doesn't mean
another will. Some clients are kept very frequently up to date, and others are not! So when
thinking about choosing a library, the first consideration is the language you want to use, and the
second consideration is how full-featured and well-maintained the library is!
在选择或使用客户端之前,需要记住的另一件事是每个客户端都是独立维护的。 仅仅因为某个功能在一个客户端中可用,并不意味着它在另一个客户端中也可用(尽管所有客户端至少支持标准的 W3C 协议以及任何常见的 Appium 扩展)。 仅仅因为一个客户端有一套很好的辅助函数,并不意味着另一个客户端也会有。 有些客户端更新非常频繁,而其他客户端则不然! 因此,在考虑选择一个库时,首要考虑的是你想使用的语言,第二个考虑因素是该库的功能完善程度和维护情况!
To learn how to use an Appium client, visit that client's homepage to learn more. In many cases,
the Appium client for a given language is built _on top of_ the _Selenium_ client for that
language, and so certain Appium clients may only document the features which the Appium client
added on top of the Selenium client. All that to say, for a full reference, you may need to visit
both the Appium client documentation as well as the Selenium client documentation.
要学习如何使用 Appium 客户端,请访问该客户端的主页以了解更多信息。 在许多情况下,特定语言的 Appium 客户端是在该语言的 _Selenium_ 客户端之上构建的,因此某些 Appium 客户端可能只记录 Appium 客户端在 Selenium 客户端基础上添加的功能。 也就是说,要获得完整的参考,你可能需要访问 Appium 客户端文档以及 Selenium 客户端文档。
That's all you need to know about Appium clients! Head over to the
[Clients](../ecosystem/clients.md) page to check out the current list of clients.
这就是你需要了解的关于 Appium 客户端的全部内容! 前往 [客户端](../ecosystem/clients.md) 页面查看当前的客户端列表。
