Simple REPL (Read-eval-print Loop) for controlling mobile apps through Appium

Interactively control your apps programmatically, test various JSON WireProtocol bindings.

To get started enter app name along with caps in caps.json

eg

"TestApp" :
  {
    "deviceName": "iPhone Simulator",
    "app": "<app name>",
    "version": "7.1",
    "newCommandTimeout": 100000,
    "autoLaunch" : "false",
    "platformName":"iOS",
    "device": "iPhone Simulator"
  }

Run your appium server and then run.

Then node ..

Enter the number corresponding to the application you want to test.

(alternatively, if you run node . APP_NAME it will skip the app menu and start the repl immediately)

Then you can call your driver commands with passing handler for call back. It comes by a in built handler called handler which needs to be passed.

eg.

>>driver.elementByClassName("android.widget.Button",handler);
 > CALL elementByClassName("android.widget.Button")
undefined
>> > RESPONSE elementByClassName("android.widget.Button") {"ELEMENT":"1"}
Returned in current
>>current.click(console.log());

If you press tab it will show you all possible options that are available. If a driver command returns a array then current would become an array.
