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

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

from appium import webdriver from appium.webdriver.common.mobileby import MobileBy from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC import time import os desired_caps = { "deviceName":"Galaxy S20", "platformName":"Android", "platformVersion":"10", "app":"lt://", #Enter app_url here "isRealMobile":True, "build":"Python Vanilla Android", "name":"Sample Test - Python", "network":True, "visual":True, "video":True, #ADD GEOLOCATION BASED ON COUNTRY CODE "geoLocation":"fr" } def startingTest(): if os.environ.get("LT_USERNAME") is None: username = "username" #Enter LT username here if environment variables have not been added else: username = os.environ.get("LT_USERNAME") if os.environ.get("LT_ACCESS_KEY") is None: accesskey = "accesskey" #Enter LT accesskey here if environment variables have not been added else: accesskey = os.environ.get("LT_ACCESS_KEY") try: driver = webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=desired_caps, command_executor="https://"+username+":"+accesskey+"@mobile-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub") colorElement = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((MobileBy.ID,"com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/color"))) colorElement.click() textElement = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((MobileBy.ID,"com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/Text"))) textElement.click() toastElement = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((MobileBy.ID,"com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/toast"))) toastElement.click() notification = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((MobileBy.ID,"com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/notification"))) notification.click() geolocation = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((MobileBy.ID,"com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/geoLocation"))) geolocation.click() time.sleep(5) driver.quit() except: driver.quit() startingTest() 

python3 android.py

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.
