Appium: Full manual configuration in Appium XCUITest Driver Real Device Setup references invalid directory

The problem

In the Full manual configuration section of https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/v1.15.0-rc.5/docs/en/drivers/ios-xcuitest-real-devices.md, the appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent directory, which no longer exists in Appium 1.15, is referenced for setup:

Given this installation location, /path/where/installed/bin/appium, WebDriverAgent will be found in /path/where/installed/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent. Open a terminal and go to that location, then run the following in order to set the project up:

In the appium website documentation, http://appium.io/docs/en/drivers/ios-xcuitest-real-devices/, it references the correct appium-webdriveragent directory, but it still incorrectly references the non-existent WebDriverAgent sub-directory:

Given this installation location, /path/where/installed/bin/appium, WebDriverAgent will be found in /path/where/installed/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent/WebDriverAgent. Open a terminal and go to that location, then run the following in order to set the project up:

Both of those need to be updated to /path/where/installed/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent for Appium 1.15.

Environment

  • Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.15.0-rc.5

It isn't updated in current master or on the website. They both still reference WebDriverAgent directory. That directory doesn't exist inside the new appium-webdriveragent directory.
