How to change IP geographic location in Python with Appium on LambdaTest

While performing app automation testing with appium on LambdaTest Grid, you may face a scenario where you would like to simulate location of a specific country. You can easily do that by using the lambdatest capability "GeoLocation" and refer the 2-letter country code in the automation script. You can refer to sample test repo here

Steps:

The following is an example on how to set geoLocation in the capabilities in your automation script.

app_android_desired_caps = {
    "deviceName":"Galaxy S20",
    "platformName":"Android",
    "platformVersion":"10",
    "build":"Python Behave - Android",
    "name":"Sample Test Android",
    "isRealMobile":True,
    "network":True,
    "visual":True,
    "video":True,
    "app":"lt://", #Enter app_url here

    #ADD GEOLOCATION BASED ON COUNTRY CODE
    "geoLocation":"fr"


}

app_ios_desired_caps = {
    "deviceName":"iPhone 12",
    "platformName":"ios",
    "platformVersion":"14",
    "build":"Python Behave - iOS",
    "name":"Sample Test iOS",
    "isRealMobile":True,
    "network":True,
    "visual":True,
    "video":True,
    "app":"lt://", #Enter app_url here

    #ADD GEOLOCATION BASED ON COUNTRY CODE
    "geoLocation":"fr"

}

Run your test

Execute the following command to run your test on LambdaTest platform.

For iOS App:

behave --tags @iosApp

For Android App:

behave --tags @androidApp

Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on the LambdaTest App Automation Dashboard.
