Using –default-capabilities flag<\/strong><\/h1>\n

It has been seen that Appium 1.5 does away with most CLI flags that existed previously, further the remainder can be converted into JSON and made part of the –default-capabilities flag. Let us illustrate this with the helps of an example –<\/p>\n

# raw JSON as an argument<\/em><\/p>\n

–default-capabilities ‘{“app”: “myapp.app”, “deviceName”: “iPhone Simulator”}’<\/p>\n

# or the name of a JSON file<\/em><\/p>\n

–default-capabilities \/path\/to\/file.json<\/p>\n

Moreover, windows users will need to escape the quotes in JSON passed on the command line including :<\/p>\n

–default-capabilities “{\\”app\\”: \\”myapp.app\\”}”<\/p>\n

\"--default-capabilities<\/p>\n
