Commands Tab

The Commands tab provides a way to execute various Appium driver commands through the Inspector GUI.

Commands Tab

All commands are grouped into various categories. Opening any category shows several buttons, each of which corresponds to an Appium driver command.

Opened Commands Category

Note

Commands may be driver-specific, in which case their buttons may not be visible when using other drivers.

The available buttons may correspond to commands without parameters, and commands with parameters:

  • For a command without parameters, clicking its button will execute the command

  • For a command with parameters, clicking its button will open the parameter popup:

    Command Parameters

Some commands may require special conditions (e.g. they are only supported in simulators). This additional information, if present, is shown as follows:

  • For a command without parameters, this is shown by hovering over the button
  • For a command with parameters, this is listed inside the parameter popup

Regardless of the command type, once it is run and its execution finishes, a new popup will show the result returned by the command.

Command Result

Depending on the command, it may also trigger a refresh for the application screenshot and source.
