Can't get device model in Appium

0

I need to get which device (iPhone 14, Samsung Galaxy S23 etc) the test running on but it's impossible. See the relevant YML block below, $DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_NAME is actually UDID.

     - |-
        if [ $DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_PLATFORM_NAME = "Android" ];
        then
          appium --base-path=$APPIUM_BASE_PATH --log-timestamp \
            --log-no-colors --relaxed-security --default-capabilities \
            "{\"appium:deviceName\": \"$DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_NAME\", \
            \"platformName\": \"$DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_PLATFORM_NAME\", \
            \"browserName\": \"Chrome\", \
            \"appium:udid\":\"$DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_UDID\", \
            \"appium:platformVersion\": \"$DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_OS_VERSION\", \
            \"appium:chromedriverExecutableDir\": \"$DEVICEFARM_CHROMEDRIVER_EXECUTABLE_DIR\", \
            \"appium:automationName\": \"UiAutomator2\"}" \
            >> $DEVICEFARM_LOG_DIR/appium.log 2>&1 &
        else
          appium --base-path=$APPIUM_BASE_PATH --log-timestamp \
            --log-no-colors --relaxed-security --default-capabilities \
            "{\"appium:deviceName\": \"$DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_NAME\", \
            \"platformName\": \"$DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_PLATFORM_NAME\", \
            \"browserName\": \"Safari\", \
            \"appium:udid\":\"$DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_UDID_FOR_APPIUM\", \
            \"appium:platformVersion\": \"$DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_OS_VERSION\", \
            \"appium:derivedDataPath\": \"$DEVICEFARM_WDA_DERIVED_DATA_PATH\", \
            \"appium:usePrebuiltWDA\": true, \
            \"appium:automationName\": \"XCUITest\"}" \
            >> $DEVICEFARM_LOG_DIR/appium.log 2>&1 &
        fi;

      - appium driver list
      # This code will wait until the Appium server starts.
      - |-
        appium_initialization_time=0;
        until curl --silent --fail "http://0.0.0.0:4723${APPIUM_BASE_PATH}/status"; do
          if [[ $appium_initialization_time -gt 30 ]]; then
            echo "Appium did not start within 30 seconds. Exiting...";
            exit 1;
          fi;
          appium_initialization_time=$((appium_initialization_time + 1));
          echo "Waiting for Appium to start on port 4723...";
          sleep 1;
        done;

Hello,

You can use the below ADB commands that you can specify in the yml file to get the information of the Android device such as device model and OS versions:

adb shell getprop ro.product.name ro.product.model
adb shell getprop ro.product.model
adb shell getprop ro.product.device
adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release

Below are the commands for iOS devices:

[DeviceFarm] ideviceinfo --udid $DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_UDID --key ProductName
[DeviceFarm] ideviceinfo --udid $DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_UDID --key ProductType
[DeviceFarm] ideviceinfo --udid $DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_UDID --key ProductVersion

I hope this helps!
