Appium plugin for handling extension capabilities with no prefix
Appium conforms to the W3C WebDriver Protocol requirements for capabilities,
which means that all non-standard (extension) capabilities used with Appium must have a prefix
(usually this prefix is appium:). Any non-standard capabilities without a prefix are rejected.
This plugin can be used to automatically add the appium: prefix to non-standard capabilities that
do not have a prefix.
Motivation
There are a lot of test scripts out there that don't conform to the W3C capability requirements,
so this plugin is designed to make it easy to keep running these scripts even with the stricter
capability requirements since Appium 2.
Installation
appium plugin install relaxed-caps
Usage
Like all plugins, this plugin must be explicitly activated when launching the Appium server:
appium --use-plugins=relaxed-caps
Once the plugin is running, all unprefixed non-standard capabilities provided in any new session
will automatically be prefixed with appium:.
