Unable to transpile

[SrikanthTakkellapati]

Hi,

When I try to transpile, I get the following errors,

node_modules/@types/chai/index.d.ts:121:9 - error TS8020: JSDoc types can only be used inside documentation comments.
121 any?, // actual value
~~~~
node_modules/@types/chai/index.d.ts:122:9 - error TS8020: JSDoc types can only be used inside documentation comments.

122 boolean? // showDiff
~~~~~~~~
node_modules/@types/chai/index.d.ts:126:16 - error TS2370: A rest parameter must be of an array type.
126 assert(...args: AssertionArgs): void;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Could this please be helped??

Thanks,
Srikanth T.

Hi,

I see that the issue is fixed when I used 4.0.6

[navaneetit09]

Hi,
I am also facing same issue.
Could you please explain how we can fix it.
What is meaning of 4.0.6

Thanks

after fixing above errors, now i am getting error as below when i ran " npm run app-test"

npm run app-test

@navaneetit09 currently I am getting the same issue. I've been trying to figure where exactly it's coming from.

[Fuun347]

@navaneetit09 I assume you moved on from this project, but I was able to fix the issue by changing the configuration as seen before. I am able to run tests now. I also changed the old and deprecated libraries to their newer equivalents.

capabilities: [
    {
        appiumVersion: '1.8.1',                 // Appium module version
        platformName: 'Android',
        app: './app-apk/app.apk',          // Path to your native app
        platformVersion: '9',              // Android platform version of the device
        waitforTimeout: waitforTimeout,
        commandTimeout: commandTimeout,
        deviceName: 'Pixel XL',
        newCommandTimeout: 30 * 60000,
    }
],

services: ['appium'],
appium: {
    args: {
        platformName: "Android",
        platformVersion: "9",
        deviceName: "Pixel XL",
        automationName: "UiAutomator2",
        app: "./app-apk/app.apk",
        address: host,
        port: port,
        commandTimeout: commandTimeout,
        sessionOverride: true,
        debugLogSpacing: true
    },
},

Hi,
I am also facing same issue.
Could you please explain how we can fix it.
What is meaning of 4.0.6

Hi, May know what is this change, Thanks

@Fuun347 Could you please help me with this.

[Fuun347]

@yashwanthkumar1796 not sure what 4.0.6 refers to. What I was forced to do myself is make a new framework from scratch. There are so many issues with this one. Most of the wdio libraries used are unsupported, so if you plan on using this framework, go and manually replace them with their new versions. The config is also very outdated so you might need to change some parts of it as well. The snippet above is from my config and it's for wdio and appium.

[yashwanthkumar1796]

@Fuun347 could you may be share your package.json, thanks

@yashwanthkumar1796 a number of the libraries are going unused, haven't had the budged to clean up yet the framework properly, or to add all the features I'd like

[yashwanthkumar1796]

I'm not really sure why you are getting this error. One of my theories is that you're lacking a driver for the browser as my framework is specifically built and setup for mobile automation rather than browser testing. I have a separate protractor based framework I made for browser testing. I never intended the use of a browser, so the config will differ and might require different libraries.

[yashwanthkumar1796]

@Fuun347 Can you suggest me some repo or example where some has done automation of website on apps using appium.
