Anyone here have any experience writing a script that utilizes the Terminal to launch a specified emulator, check for a binary, install it if not present, then run Appium tests?

Could you point me in the right direction?

Generally this is called test runners, like Spoon, Composer or now Nitrogen

Some can start emulator for you, some won't (there is a tool called Swarmer you can use to start emulators), then they'll install app and test apks and run android instrumentation tests

The caveat here is that Appium is not strictly an instrumentation test, so that part you'll have to figure out on your own

Made some headway today. Thanks for the response. I'll look into Test Runners.
