"name": "mobile-appium-tests",
"private": true,
"license": "",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "Download appium for automated tests",
"devDependencies": {
"appium": "1.6.5",
"ios-deploy":"1.9.1"
},
"scripts": {
"prestart": "npm install",
"pretest": "npm install"
}
}
Run the build
`mvn verify`
Now node and appium will be downloaded and appium will stop and start as part of your build.
