前言：

在 Appium 中，app Inspector 是一个用来查看应用程序详细信息的工具。它可以用来查看应用程序的元数据、UI 元素、模拟器状态等信息。 

演示环境

• Appium.app 1.3.4

• iOS 模拟器：iPhone 6 (8.3 Simulator)

• Android 模拟器：genymotion 的 Google Nexus 4 - 4.4.4 - API 19 - 768x1280

虽然演示环境使用的是 mac ，但里面对于 Android 的参数设置是和 windows exe 通用的。

什么是 Inspector 工具

Inspector 工具的作用是通过截图查看元素对应节点，进而更加直观地获取到合适的元素定位器。在可以工作的情况下，它的界面如下 ( mac 上 appium.app 的 Inspector)：

它主要由两部分组成。左侧是当前屏幕的节点树（类似于 driver.getSource() 返回的结果），右侧是当前屏幕的截图 ( driver.getScreenShot() ) 辅以能标明被选中节点所指的元素位置的红色方框。

它设计用途是通过获取当前屏幕的节点树及截图，让用户直观地看到节点树的节点对应屏幕的哪个元素，并辅以简单的录制脚本功能（ mac 版录制功能较多，windows 版目前相对少很多）

Inspector 的使用前提

如上面所说，Inspector 依靠 driver 的 getSource() 和 getScreenShot() 方法获取截图及节点树，因此它的使用前提是你已经建立了 session 。

建立 session 有两种方法：

1、在你的脚本中使用合适的 caps 建立 WebDriver 实例。

2、在启动 appium server 时加入建立 session 所需参数及 --pre-launch。

第一种相信能用 appium 跑通脚本的都知道如何使用。但每次都需要启动脚本才能用 Inspector 略嫌麻烦，因此我这里主要介绍第二种方法。

在图形化界面中建立 session

在 mac 版的 appium.app 的界面中，有两个设置各平台参数的菜单：

注意，虽然这里设置的值名称看起来和用例里的 caps 差不多，但这里设置的其实是 server arguments 。

对于建立 session ，我们必须设定的参数有：

• Android: App path, 需要使用的模拟器或真机已经启动并能通过 adb devices 看到

• iOS: App path, UDID（真机）或 force device（模拟器）, platform version

记得要在你设定了的参数前打钩才是生效的哦。

然后我们在 General Settings 里面勾选 Pre-launch application：

最后点击 Launch 。然后 appium server 就会在启动时按照指定参数自动根据设定的参数开启 session 。这样你就能直接使用 Inspector 工具了。

为了方便大家后面出错后查错，附上正常 Launch 后能直接打开 Inspector 查看元素时的所有 log（均使用模拟器）。

• iOS 模拟器：
