-as a Strategic Partner, LambdaTest will support the Appium project through financial contribution
-as well as contribution of code and project maintenance. Obviously, without the generous support of
-partners like LambdaTest, we would not be able to continue our contributor compensation scheme,
-which has seen the release of a substantial amount of funds to Appium maintainers and contributors
-over the last year. Thanks again to LambdaTest, and stay tuned for more collaboration updates
-throughout the year!

-# 🚀 Appium 3
-
-Appium 3 is here — and while it's not as massive a leap as Appium 2, it introduces a few essential
-breaking changes that developers and QA engineers should be aware of.
-
-<!-- more -->
-
-The main idea behind Appium 3 is to clear out old cruft so that Appium can be leaner moving
-forward, and rely on newer versions of software with better performance and security
-characteristics. We're also getting rid of legacy behaviors and protocols that we deprecated as
-part of Appium 2.
-
-For you as a user, there's not much to worry about. The breaking changes are minimal:
-
- Node.js / NPM minimum version bump (to 20.19 / 10)
- Removal of certain deprecated endpoints
- Security feature flag prefix requirements (e.g. `adb_shell` to `uiautomator2:adb_shell`)
-
-In terms of new features, we've been adding them incrementally rather than saving them up for
-Appium 3. But with this release we are excited to share these new capabilities:
-
- `appium plugin install inspector` (Use Appium to host the Inspector rather than downloading it as a separate app)
- Clients can set the `X-Appium-Is-Sensitive` HTTP header on requests to direct the server to mask the data in the request in the logs, so that when you send a password into an input box, the password's actual value is not logged in plaintext. ([Learn more](../../developing/sensitive.md))
-
-Of course, we have a full [Appium 3 migration guide](../../guides/migrating-2-to-3.md) to make sure
-you know all the details and can deeply understand the consequences of upgrading to Appium 3 in
-your environment.
-
---
-
-**Ready to make the leap?** Appium 3 is a great step forward in creating more secure, maintainable,
-and W3C-compliant test automation pipelines. Happy testing!

-title: Migrating to Appium 3

-</style>
-
-This document is a guide for those who are using Appium 2 and would like to upgrade to Appium 3.
-It contains a list of breaking changes, as well as suggestions for handling them.
-
-While Appium 2 was a major overhaul of the entire Appium architecture, Appium 3 is a smaller
-upgrade with fewer breaking changes, which should result in a much simpler migration process.
-
-## Installation
-
-The installation method for Appium 3 remains the same as for Appium 2. If you want to upgrade, you
-can simply install Appium 3 on top of your existing installation:
-
-```bash
-# optional: `appium setup reset`
-npm install -g appium
-```
-
-## Breaking Changes
-
-### Node 20+ Required
-
-With Appium 2, the minimum required Node version was `14.17.0`. Support for Node 14 had already
-ended before the release of Appium 2, which meant that even users on outdated Node versions were
-able to use it.
-
-Appium 3 drops support for outdated Node versions, and bumps the minimum required version to Node
-`20.19.0`, as well as the minimum `npm` version to `10`.
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    Upgrade Node.js to `v20.19.0` or newer, and `npm` to `v10` or newer
-
-### Deprecated Endpoints Removed
-
-Appium 3 removes many previously deprecated server endpoints. Some of these endpoints have now
-become specific to one or more drivers, while most others have direct or close-to-direct
-replacements in other endpoints. All removed endpoints, along with replacements (where applicable)
-are listed [in the **Removed Endpoints** section](#removed).
-
-Some W3C endpoints used in Appium also existed in the old JSONWP standard, but required different
-parameters. With Appium 2, both standards for these endpoints were supported. Appium 3 changes
-these endpoints by removing support for the JSONWP parameters, and only accepting the W3C
-parameters. These endpoints are listed [in the **Modified Endpoints** section](#modified).
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    Check your Appium client documentation for the affected methods, and adjust your code to use
-    their replacements
-
-### Feature Flag Prefix Required
-
-With Appium 2, it was possible to opt into certain [insecure features](./security.md) on server
-startup, which could be enabled using the `--allow-insecure` or `--relaxed-security` flags. Appium
-`2.13` added the ability to optionally provide a scope prefix to specific features, ensuring that
-they would only be enabled for the specified driver (or all of them).
-
-Appium 3 makes the scope prefix mandatory, and will throw an error if features are specified
-without a scope. Note that the behavior of the `--relaxed-security` flag remains unchanged.
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    If you use the `--allow-insecure` server flag, add a scope prefix before each feature name.
-    For example, if you use the UiAutomator2 `adb_shell` feature, on Appium 2 you would enable it
-    like this:
-    ```
-    appium --allow-insecure=adb_shell
-    ```
-    On Appium 3, to ensure this feature is only activated for UiAutomator2, you can run it like so:
-    ```
-    appium --allow-insecure=uiautomator2:adb_shell
-    ```
-    Alternatively, if you wish to keep the Appium 2 behavior and enable the feature for _all_
-    drivers that support it, you can use the wildcard (`*`) prefix:
-    ```
-    appium --allow-insecure=*:adb_shell
-    ```
-    Server-scope features like `session_discovery` also require the wildcard prefix.
-
-
-### Session Discovery Requires Feature Flag
-
-In Appium 2, it was possible to retrieve all active server sessions via the `GET /sessions`
-endpoint. This information could then be used, for example, in Appium Inspector, in order to attach
-to an existing session, instead of creating a new one.
-
-Appium 3 makes two changes to the session discovery process:
-
-* The `GET /sessions` endpoint is replaced with `GET /appium/sessions` (see [the Removed Endpoints section](#removed))
-* The use of the new endpoint requires the `session_discovery` [feature flag](./security.md)
-
-The return value of `GET /appium/sessions` is largely identical to `GET /sessions`, but additionally
-includes the `created` field for each session entry, indicating the session creation time as a Unix
-timestamp. The rest of the result format remains unchanged.
-
-To reduce migration efforts, the `GET /appium/sessions` endpoint (locked behind the aforementioned
-feature flag) is also available in Appium `2.19`, allowing you to adjust your code before upgrading
-to Appium 3. As for Appium Inspector, support for this new endpoint is available starting from
-version `2025.3.1`.
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    * If your code uses session retrieval, change the endpoint from `GET /sessions` to
-    `GET /appium/sessions`
-    * If you use Appium Inspector's Attach to Session feature, upgrade to version `2025.3.1` or later
-    * In both cases, ensure your Appium server is launched with the `session_discovery`
-    [feature flag](./security.md)
-
-### Unzip Logic Removed
-
-Appium 3 removes the custom unzip logic used when working with files like application packages.
-Such files are often only relevant to particular platforms, therefore the functionality for
-handling these operations has been moved to relevant drivers.
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    Ensure you are using the most recent versions of your drivers
-
-### Express 5
-
-Appium 3 upgrades the internally-used `express` dependency from `v4` to `v5`. This should not
-affect users who use Appium directly, but developers integrating parts of Appium into their own
-projects may want to check [the Express 5 Migration Guide](https://expressjs.com/en/guide/migrating-5.html).
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    None! (hopefully)
-
-## Endpoint Changes
-### Removed
-
-The following is a list of all the Appium server endpoints removed in Appium 3. For ease of
-migration, additional information is provided for each endpoint: drivers that still support the
-endpoint; suggested replacement endpoints, or, rarely, the lack of any available replacements.
-
-Icons are used to indicate endpoint support in either certain drivers, or in the core Appium server

+Since Appium server version `2.13`, it is possible to apply features on a per-driver basis. This
+can be achieved by prefixing each feature name with the `automationName` of the driver for which
+the feature should be applied. To apply a feature for all drivers, or to apply a server-level
+feature, the wildcard (`*`) prefix should be used.
+
+For example, the server could be started as follows:
 ```bash
-appium --relaxed-security --deny-insecure=*:foo
+appium --allow-insecure=uiautomator2:adb_shell,xcuitest:get_server_logs,*:record_audio
 ```
+
+This would result in the following:
+
+* The `adb_shell` feature would be enabled only for the UiAutomator2 driver
+* The `get_server_logs` feature would be enabled only for the XCUITest driver
+* The `record_audio` feature would be enabled for all drivers
+
+Feature provided without an explicit prefix are equivalent to having the wildcard prefix.
+These prefix rules apply to both the `--allow-insecure` and `--deny-insecure` server arguments.
+
+!!! warning
+
+    Starting from Appium 3, the scope prefix is required, and features provided without a scope will
+    raise an error. Note that the behavior of the `--relaxed-security` flag remains unchanged.

-# 🚀 Appium 3
-
-Appium 3 is here — and while it's not as massive a leap as Appium 2, it introduces a few essential
-breaking changes that developers and QA engineers should be aware of.
-
-<!-- more -->
-
-The main idea behind Appium 3 is to clear out old cruft so that Appium can be leaner moving
-forward, and rely on newer versions of software with better performance and security
-characteristics. We're also getting rid of legacy behaviors and protocols that we deprecated as
-part of Appium 2.
-
-For you as a user, there's not much to worry about. The breaking changes are minimal:
-
- Node.js / NPM minimum version bump (to 20.19 / 10)
- Removal of certain deprecated endpoints
- Security feature flag prefix requirements (e.g. `adb_shell` to `uiautomator2:adb_shell`)
-
-In terms of new features, we've been adding them incrementally rather than saving them up for
-Appium 3. But with this release we are excited to share these new capabilities:
-
- `appium plugin install inspector` (Use Appium to host the Inspector rather than downloading it as a separate app)
- Clients can set the `X-Appium-Is-Sensitive` HTTP header on requests to direct the server to mask the data in the request in the logs, so that when you send a password into an input box, the password's actual value is not logged in plaintext. ([Learn more](../../developing/sensitive.md))
-
-Of course, we have a full [Appium 3 migration guide](../../guides/migrating-2-to-3.md) to make sure
-you know all the details and can deeply understand the consequences of upgrading to Appium 3 in
-your environment.
-
---
-
-**Ready to make the leap?** Appium 3 is a great step forward in creating more secure, maintainable,
-and W3C-compliant test automation pipelines. Happy testing!

+"Capabilities" is the name given to the set of parameters used to start an Appium session. The

+example, a certain mobile operating system or a certain version of a device. Capabilities are
+represented as key-value pairs, with values allowed to be any valid JSON type, including
+other objects.

+| `browserVersion` | `string` | The specific version of the browser            |
+| `platformName`   | `string` | The type of platform hosting the browser       |

-## 一般的なAppiumのCapabilities
+## Common Appium Capabilities

-Appium はこれらのブラウザに焦点を当てた capabilities を理解しますが、いくつかの capabilities も追加導入しています。 WebDriver 仕様によれば、非標準の「拡張 capabilities」には、capabilities を導入したベンダーを示す名前空間となる接頭辞（末尾に「:」）を含める必要があります。 Appium の接頭辞は「appium:」であるため、Appium 固有の capabilities には必ずこの接頭辞を含める必要があります。 使用しているクライアントによっては接頭辞が自動的に追加される場合もあれば、特定のインターフェースと組み合わせて追加される場合もありますが、明確にするために明示的に追加することをお勧めします。
+Appium understands these browser-focused capabilities, but introduces a number of additional
+capabilities. According to the WebDriver spec, any
+non-standard "extension capabilities" must include a namespace prefix (signifying the vendor
+introducing the capability), ending in a `:`. Appium's vendor prefix is
+`appium:`, and so any Appium-specific capabilities must include this prefix. Depending on which
+client you are using, the prefix may be added automatically or in conjunction with certain
+interfaces, but it is always a good practice to explicitly include it for clarity.

-以下は様々なドライバーで認識される Appium の capabilities の一覧です：
+Here is a list of all the globally-recognized Appium capabilities:

-個々のドライバやプラグインは独自の capabilities をサポートしている場合があるため、具体的な capability 名のリストについては、それぞれのドキュメントを参照してください。また、一部のドライバはこれらの capabilities をすべてサポートしていない場合があります

-ドライバーの中には、capabilitiesのより複雑な制約をグループとして設定しているものもあります。 たとえば、`appium:app` および `browserName`  capabilities は上記では必須ではないと記載していますが、特定のアプリでセッションを開始する場合、XCUITest ドライバーは、`appium:app`、`browserName`、または `appium:bundleId` の少なくとも1 つが capabilities に含まれていることが必要です (含まれていない場合、どのアプリをインストールまたは起動すればよいか判断できないため、ホーム画面からセッションが開かれます)。 各ドライバーは、これらの capabilities やその他のプラットフォーム固有の要件をどのように解釈するかを記述しています。
+Some drivers place more complex constraints on capabilities as a group. For example, while the
+`appium:app` and `browserName` capabilities are listed above as optional, if you want to launch
+a session with a specific app, the XCUITest driver requires that at least one of `appium:app`,
+`browserName`, or `appium:bundleId` are included in the capabilities (otherwise it will not know
+what app to install and/or launch and will simply open a session on the home screen). Each driver
+will document how it interprets these capabilities and any other platform-specific requirements.

 !!! note

 ```
-Capabilitiesは、セッション開始時に使用されるパラメータのようなものです。Capabilitiesが送信され、セッションが開始された後変更できません。ドライバーがセッション中に動作の一部を更新する場合、capabilitiesの代わりに、またはcapabilitiesに加えて、[Settings](./settings.md)も利用可能です。
+Capabilities are like parameters used when starting a session. After the capabilities are sent
+and the session is started, they cannot be changed. If a driver supports updating aspects of
+its behaviour in the course of a session, it will provide a [Setting](./settings.md) for this
+purpose instead of, or in addition to, a capability.

-このドキュメントは既にAppium 2 を利用している人がAppium 3 に移行するための手引きです。
-破壊的変更と、それらを処理するためのヒントが含まれています。
-
-Appium 2 はAppiumアーキテクチャ全体の大きな見直しをしました。 Appium 3 は限られた破壊的変更のみの比較的小さな更新であり、移行プロセスがはるかに簡易になります。
-
-## Installation
-
-The installation method for Appium 3 remains the same as for Appium 2. If you want to upgrade, you
-can simply install Appium 3 on top of your existing installation:
-
-```bash
-# optional: `appium setup reset`
-npm install -g appium
-```
-
-\## 破壊的変更
-
-### Node 20+ Required
-
-With Appium 2, the minimum required Node version was `14.17.0`. Support for Node 14 had already
-ended before the release of Appium 2, which meant that even users on outdated Node versions were
-able to use it.
-
-Appium 3 drops support for outdated Node versions, and bumps the minimum required version to Node
-`20.19.0`, as well as the minimum `npm` version to `10`.
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    Upgrade Node.js to `v20.19.0` or newer, and `npm` to `v10` or newer
-
-### Deprecated Endpoints Removed
-
-Appium 3 removes many previously deprecated server endpoints. Some of these endpoints have now
-become specific to one or more drivers, while most others have direct or close-to-direct
-replacements in other endpoints. All removed endpoints, along with replacements (where applicable)
-are listed [in the **Removed Endpoints** section](#removed).
-
-Some W3C endpoints used in Appium also existed in the old JSONWP standard, but required different
-parameters. With Appium 2, both standards for these endpoints were supported. Appium 3 changes
-these endpoints by removing support for the JSONWP parameters, and only accepting the W3C
-parameters. These endpoints are listed [in the **Modified Endpoints** section](#modified).
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    Check your Appium client documentation for the affected methods, and adjust your code to use
-    their replacements
-
-### Feature Flag Prefix Required
-
-With Appium 2, it was possible to opt into certain [insecure features](./security.md) on server
-startup, which could be enabled using the `--allow-insecure` or `--relaxed-security` flags. Appium
-`2.13` added the ability to optionally provide a scope prefix to specific features, ensuring that
-they would only be enabled for the specified driver (or all of them).
-
-Appium 3 makes the scope prefix mandatory, and will throw an error if features are specified
-without a scope. Note that the behavior of the `--relaxed-security` flag remains unchanged.
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    If you use the `--allow-insecure` server flag, add a scope prefix before each feature name.
-    For example, if you use the UiAutomator2 `adb_shell` feature, on Appium 2 you would enable it
-    like this:
-    `     appium --allow-insecure=adb_shell     `
-    On Appium 3, to ensure this feature is only activated for UiAutomator2, you can run it like so:
-    `     appium --allow-insecure=uiautomator2:adb_shell     `
-    Alternatively, if you wish to keep the Appium 2 behavior and enable the feature for _all_
-    drivers that support it, you can use the wildcard (`*`) prefix:
-    `     appium --allow-insecure=*:adb_shell     `
-    Server-scope features like `session_discovery` also require the wildcard prefix.
-
-### Session Discovery Requires Feature Flag
-
-In Appium 2, it was possible to retrieve all active server sessions via the `GET /sessions`
-endpoint. This information could then be used, for example, in Appium Inspector, in order to attach
-to an existing session, instead of creating a new one.
-
-Appium 3 makes two changes to the session discovery process:
-
- The `GET /sessions` endpoint is replaced with `GET /appium/sessions` (see [the Removed Endpoints section](#removed))
- The use of the new endpoint requires the `session_discovery` [feature flag](./security.md)
-
-The return value of `GET /appium/sessions` is largely identical to `GET /sessions`, but additionally
-includes the `created` field for each session entry, indicating the session creation time as a Unix
-timestamp. The rest of the result format remains unchanged.
-
-To reduce migration efforts, the `GET /appium/sessions` endpoint (locked behind the aforementioned
-feature flag) is also available in Appium `2.19`, allowing you to adjust your code before upgrading
-to Appium 3. As for Appium Inspector, support for this new endpoint is available starting from
-version `2025.3.1`.
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    \* If your code uses session retrieval, change the endpoint from `GET /sessions` to
-    `GET /appium/sessions`
-    \* If you use Appium Inspector's Attach to Session feature, upgrade to version `2025.3.1` or later
-    \* In both cases, ensure your Appium server is launched with the `session_discovery`
-    [feature flag](./security.md)
-
-### Unzip Logic Removed
-
-Appium 3 removes the custom unzip logic used when working with files like application packages.
-Such files are often only relevant to particular platforms, therefore the functionality for
-handling these operations has been moved to relevant drivers.
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    Ensure you are using the most recent versions of your drivers
-
-### Express 5
-
-Appium 3 upgrades the internally-used `express` dependency from `v4` to `v5`. This should not
-affect users who use Appium directly, but developers integrating parts of Appium into their own
-projects may want to check [the Express 5 Migration Guide](https://expressjs.com/en/guide/migrating-5.html).
-
-!!! info "Actions Needed"
-
-    None! (hopefully)
-
-## Endpoint Changes
-
-### Removed
-
-The following is a list of all the Appium server endpoints removed in Appium 3. For ease of
-migration, additional information is provided for each endpoint: drivers that still support the
-endpoint; suggested replacement endpoints, or, rarely, the lack of any available replacements.
-
-Icons are used to indicate endpoint support in either certain drivers, or in the core Appium server
-(applicable to all drivers):

 The [Server CLI Args](../cli/args.md) doc outlines three relevant arguments which may be passed to
 Appium when starting it from the command line:

-| <div style="width:10em">Parameter</div> | Description                                                                                                                                                     |
-| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `--relaxed-security`                    | Turns on _all_ insecure features, except those blocked by `--deny-insecure`                                                                                     |
-| `--allow-insecure`                      | Turns on _only_ specified features, except those blocked by `--deny-insecure`. Has no effect when used in combination with `--relaxed-security` |
-| `--deny-insecure`                       | Explicitly turns _off_ specified features, overriding `--relaxed-security` and `--allow-insecure`                                                               |
-
-All of the above arguments can also be specified in the [Appium Configuration file](./config.md).
-
-Features passed to `--allow-insecure`/`--deny-insecure` must be specified as a comma-separated list,
-and each feature in the list must additionally include a prefix, indicating the driver to which the
-feature should apply. The prefix can be either the driver's `automationName`, or the wildcard (`*`)
-symbol, if the feature should be applied to all drivers. The prefix and feature name are separated
-using the colon character (`:`).
-

-Turn on all features _except_ `foo` for all drivers:
+## Driver-scope security
+
+Since Appium server version `2.13`, it is possible to apply features on a per-driver basis. This
+can be achieved by prefixing each feature name with the `automationName` of the driver for which
+the feature should be applied. To apply a feature for all drivers, or to apply a server-level
+feature, the wildcard (`*`) prefix should be used.
+
+For example, the server could be started as follows:

 ```bash
-appium --relaxed-security --deny-insecure=*:foo
+appium --allow-insecure=uiautomator2:adb_shell,xcuitest:get_server_logs,*:record_audio
+```
+
+This would result in the following:
+
+- The `adb_shell` feature would be enabled only for the UiAutomator2 driver
+- The `get_server_logs` feature would be enabled only for the XCUITest driver
+- The `record_audio` feature would be enabled for all drivers
+
+Feature provided without an explicit prefix are equivalent to having the wildcard prefix.
+These prefix rules apply to both the `--allow-insecure` and `--deny-insecure` server arguments.
+
+!!! warning
+
+```
+Starting from Appium 3, the scope prefix is required, and features provided without a scope will
+raise an error. Note that the behavior of the `--relaxed-security` flag remains unchanged.

-# 🚀 Appium 3
-
-Appium 3 is here — and while it's not as massive a leap as Appium 2, it introduces a few essential
-breaking changes that developers and QA engineers should be aware of.
-
-<!-- more -->
-
-The main idea behind Appium 3 is to clear out old cruft so that Appium can be leaner moving
-forward, and rely on newer versions of software with better performance and security
-characteristics. We're also getting rid of legacy behaviors and protocols that we deprecated as
-part of Appium 2.
-
-For you as a user, there's not much to worry about. The breaking changes are minimal:
-
- Node.js / NPM minimum version bump (to 20.19 / 10)
- Removal of certain deprecated endpoints
- Security feature flag prefix requirements (e.g. `adb_shell` to `uiautomator2:adb_shell`)
-
-In terms of new features, we've been adding them incrementally rather than saving them up for
-Appium 3. But with this release we are excited to share these new capabilities:
-
- `appium plugin install inspector` (Use Appium to host the Inspector rather than downloading it as a separate app)
- Clients can set the `X-Appium-Is-Sensitive` HTTP header on requests to direct the server to mask the data in the request in the logs, so that when you send a password into an input box, the password's actual value is not logged in plaintext. ([Learn more](../../developing/sensitive.md))
-
-Of course, we have a full [Appium 3 migration guide](../../guides/migrating-2-to-3.md) to make sure
-you know all the details and can deeply understand the consequences of upgrading to Appium 3 in
-your environment.
-
---
-
-**Ready to make the leap?** Appium 3 is a great step forward in creating more secure, maintainable,
-and W3C-compliant test automation pipelines. Happy testing!

-To start the Appium server, you may either run `appium` or `appium server`. The `server` subcommand
-is considered to be the default, so if you omit it, Appium will interpret this as your request to
-run the Appium server.
+要启动Appium服务器，您可以运行`appium`或`appium server`。`server`子命令是他的默认命令，因此如果省略它，Appium会将认为您想要运行Appium服务器。

-The invocation of `appium` (or `appium server`) can take a number of arguments, which are detailed
-below.
+`appium`（或`appium server`）的调用可以接受多个参数，详细信息如下。

-!!! note
+!!! 注意

-```
-All of these arguments can be set via a [Configuration File](../guides/config.md) instead if
-you want. Any arguments set on the command line will override any arguments found in
-a configuration file.
-```
+    如果您愿意，所有这些参数都可以通过[配置文件](../guides/config.md)设置。命令行上设置的任何参数都将覆盖配置文件中的参数。

Instead it will use a JS-based unzip library. This could help on some systems with non-existent or non-standard `unzip` commands. Note that if unzipping fails using the system library, the fallback library will be attempted in any case, so setting this env var merely saves time in the event you know the system unzip will fail. |

+|`APPIUM_TMP_DIR`|默认情况下，Appium的许多操作都使用随机临时目录。如果您希望使用特定目录，可以通过将绝对路径作为此变量的值来实现。该行为相当于使用`--tmp`CLI参数。|
+|`APPIUM_PREFER_SYSTEM_UNZIP`|设置为0或false，以要求Appium不要使用系统中包含的unzip二进制文件来解压下载的应用程序或其他文件，而去使用基于JS的unzip库；这有助于解决一些系统中不存在或存在非标准的unzip命令的问题。请注意，如果使用系统库解压失败，无论如何都会尝试回退库，所以设置这个环境变量只是在你知道系统unzip会失败的情况下节省时间。|
+|`APPIUM_HOST`|与`--address`CLI参数相同|
+|`APPIUM_PORT`|与`--port`CLI参数相同|
+|`APPIUM_RELOAD_EXTENSIONS`|设置为1可使Appium在创建新会话时重新加载扩展，这主要适用于[构建扩展](../developing/build-drivers.md)|
+|`APPIUM_OMIT_PEER_DEPS`|将`--omit=peer`添加到Appium内部运行的所有NPM命令中，主要是内部特征。|
+|`APPIUM_APPS_CACHE_MAX_AGE`|允许设置[缓存应用程序](../guides/caching.md)的最长使用时间（以分钟为单位），默认值为60*24（24小时）；不要将其设置为低于单个会话启动持续时间的数字。|
+|`APPIUM_APPS_CACHE_MAX_ITEMS`|允许设置[缓存应用程序](../guides/caching.md)的最大数量，默认值为`1024`；不要将其设置为低于每个进程所有并行会话中的应用程序数量。|
+|`APPIUM_APPS_CACHE_IGNORE_URL_QUERY`|如果启用此选项，则应用程序URL中的“搜索”部分将被忽略；有关更多详细信息，请参阅相应的[内容](https://discuss.appium.io/t/regarding-app-caching-when-using-aws-s3-presigned-urls/42713)；默认情况下禁用。|

+Appium允许灵活安装和管理各种扩展，例如驱动程序（为Appium提供自动化给定平台的能力）和插件（可以增强或改变单个Appium命令的工作方式）。
+要从概念上理解这些实体，请查看[引言](../intro/index.md)。

-Management of drivers and plugins is handled by Appium's Extension CLI (command-line interface).

+    
+|占位符|含义|
+|--|--|
+|`<ext-type>`|"Extension type"，它应该是`driver`或`plugin`；所有的扩展命令行都可以与驱动程序或插件一起使用，因此您必须指定将使用哪种类型的扩展。|
+|`<ext-name>`|"Extension name"，这是对`appium <ext-type> list`的调用中找到的扩展名的简称；这与扩展的NPM包名不同，或者通常来说，与扩展的“安装规范”是有所区别的。|
+|`<install-spec>`|"Install specification"，这是指用于指示Appium应安装什么扩展的字符串。|
+|`<install-source>`|这是指Appium安装扩展程序应该使用的方法。|

+## 命令

-## Commands
+所有扩展命令行都以`appium <ext-type>`开头，即 `appium driver`或`appium plugin`。

-All Extension CLI commands begin with `appium <ext-type>`, i.e., either `appium driver` or `appium
-plugin`.
-
-All Extension CLI commands can take an optional `--json` argument, which will return the result of
-the command as a machine-readable JSON string rather than the standard output, which is colourized
-and tuned for human consumption.
+所有扩展命令行都可以接受一个可选的`--json`参数，这个参数会让命令的输出结果以机器可读的JSON字符串形式返回，而不是标准的、为人类阅读优化的、带颜色的输出。

 ### `doctor`

-Run doctor checks for the given extension, which validate whether the extension has its prerequisites
-configured correctly. Note that not all extensions include doctor checks. See the
-[Building Doctor Checks](../developing/build-doctor-checks.md) tutorial for more details on
-how to create them.
+运行给定扩展的医生检查，以验证扩展的先决条件是否配置正确。请注意，并非所有的扩展都包含医生检查工具。

 ### `install`

-Install an extension. If successful, respond with the short name of the extension which can be used
-in other invocations of the Extension CLI. If the extension is a driver, also note which platforms
-may be used with the driver.
+安装一个扩展。如果安装成功，返回扩展的短名称，这个短名称可以在其他扩展命令行的调用中使用。如果扩展是一个驱动程序，还应该注明可以使用该驱动程序的平台。

-Usage:
+使用方法：

 ```
 appium <ext-type> install <install-spec> [--source=<install-source>] [--package=<package-name>] [--json]
 ```

-Required arguments:
+必须的参数：

- `<ext-type>`: must be `driver` or `plugin`
- `<install-spec>`: this is the name, location, and/or version of the extension you want to
-  install. Its possible values are dependent on the `<install-source>` (see below).
+- `<ext-type>`：必须为`driver`或`plugin`
+- `<install-spec>`：这是您要安装的扩展的名称、位置或版本。其可能的值取决于`<install-source>`（见下文）。

-Optional arguments:

- `--source`: this directs Appium where to find your extension. See below for a table of possible
-  source types and corresponding install specification.
- `--package`: when `<install-source>` is `git` or `github`, `--package` is required. It should be
-  the Node.js package name of the extension. Without this information, Appium will not be able to
-  find the installed package.
- `--json`: return the result in JSON format
+- `--source`：告诉Appium如何定位您的扩展；查看下面的表格，了解可能的来源类型和相应的安装规范。
+- `--package`：当`<install-source>`的值为`git`或`github`，`--package`参数是必须的. 它必须是扩展的Node.js包名称。缺少这些信息的话，Appium将无法定位到已安装的包。
+- `--json`：以JSON格式返回结果

-
-### Where To Start
-
-If you would like to contribute to the translation of Appium documents into your language then simply join
-the translators group for the [Appium Documentation](https://crowdin.com/project/appium-documentation)
-Crowdin project, and start translating documents there. If you see that your language is missing from
-the list of available Crowdin languages then simply let us know by creating an
-[issue](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues).
-
-### Source Language Updates
-
-Changes in documents are synchronized to Crowdin automatically via the `Update Crowdin English Docs` GitHub action.
-This action is triggered automatically as soon as there are any changes under `packages/appium/docs/en/**.md`
-or `packages/appium/docs/mkdocs-en.yml`.
-
-### Fetching Translated Documents
-
-In order to fetch translated files from Crowdin to the GitHub repository it is necessary to trigger
-the `Sync Crowdin Docs Translations` action. This action should also automatically create a PR with

+title: Appium的配置系统
+---
+
+Appium2支持[配置文件](../guides/config.md)。配置文件是与命令行参数保持（几乎）一一对应的关系。
+用户可以为Appium2提供配置文件、命令行参数，或者两者都提供（此时命令行参数的优先级高于配置文件）。
+
+本文档将对配置系统的工作原理进行技术概述。它旨在为Appium的贡献者提供指导，但同时也会解释该系统的基础功能。
+
+## 读取配置文件
+
+配置文件是一个JSON、JavaScript或YAML文件，可以根据架构进行验证。
+默认情况下，此文件将被命名为`.appiumrc.{json,js,yaml,yml}`，并位于依赖`appium`的项目的根目录中。
+通过`--config <file>`标志，还支持其他文件名和位置。出于显而易见的原因，不允许在配置文件中使用`config`参数。
+
+除了单独的文件外，配置还可以嵌入到项目的`package.json`文件中，使用`appiumConfig`属性。例如：
+
+```json
+{
+  "appiumConfig": {
+    "server": {
+      "port": 12345
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+当通过`appium`可执行文件启动Appium服务器时，`lib/main.js`中的`init`函数将调用`lib/config-file.js`加载或搜索配置文件和`package.json`。
+
+!!! 注意
+
+    如果未找到配置文件，这并不会导致错误！
+
+[`lilconfig`](https://npm.im/lilconfig)包提供了搜索和加载配置文件的功能；有关搜索路径的更多信息，请参考其文档。
+此外，Appium通过[`yaml`](https://npm.im/yaml)包支持编写YAML格式的配置文件。
+
+当找到并成功[验证](#_2)配置文件后，其结果将与默认设置以及额外的命令行参数进行合并。
+在这个合并过程中，命令行参数的优先级高于配置文件，而配置文件的优先级则高于默认设置。
+
+## 验证
+
+该系统同时用于配置文件和命令行参数的验证。
+
+[ajv](https://npm.im/ajv)包提供了验证功能。当然，为了让`ajv`进行验证，必须为其提供一个模式。
+
+基础模式是一个符合[JSON Schema Draft-7](https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core.html)标准的对象，
+由`lib/schema/appium-config-schema.js`文件导出。这个模式定义了Appium原生的配置，并且仅关注其作为服务器的行为；它并没有定义任何其他功能（例如插件或驱动程序子命令）的配置。
+
+!!! 警告
+
+    请注意，这个文件是基础模式文件；这一点在后续操作中会变得至关重要。
+
+此文件不是JSON文件，因为（1）JSON对人类来说很难使用，（2）@jlipps特别讨厌它，（3）`ajv`接受对象，而不是JSON文件。
+
+解释配置文件是如何被验证的会更加直接明了，所以我们从这里开始。
+
+### 验证配置文件
+
+当发现一个配置文件（`lib/config-file.js`），它会调用从`lib/schema/schema.js`导出的`validate`函数，并将配置文件的内容作为参数传递给该函数。
+接着，validate函数会请求`ajv`根据Appium提供的模式来验证这些数据。
+
+如果配置文件无效，ajv会生成错误，这些错误随后会被显示给用户。最后，`init`函数会检测到这些错误，将它们显示出来，并且整个进程会退出。
+
+我希望已经解释清楚了，因为这部分相对来说是比较容易理解的。
+
+### 验证CLI参数
+
+正如之前提到的，相同的系统被用于验证配置文件和命令行参数。
+
+这里并没有任何评判的意思，但Appium使用[`argparse`](https://npm.im/argparse)来解析命令行参数。
+这个包以及其他类似的包提供了一个API，用于定义命令行Node.js脚本接受的参数，并最终返回一个表示用户提供的参数的对象。
+
+就像模式定义了配置文件中允许的内容一样，它也定义了命令行上允许的内容。
+
+#### 通过模式定义CLI参数
+
+在验证命令行参数的值之前，必须先定义这些参数。
+
+JSON模式并不是定义CLI参数的天然选择，它需要一些额外的处理才能使其适用，
+但它已经足够接近，以至于我们可以通过一个适配器和一些自定义元数据来实现这一点。
+
+在`lib/cli/parser.js`中，有一个围绕`argparse`库的`ArgumentParser`的包装器；它被称为`ArgParser`。
+这个包装器存在是因为我们对`argparse`做了一些自定义处理，但它与模式本身没有直接关系。
+
+创建一个`ArgParser`实例，并用原始的CLI参数调用了它的`parseArgs()`方法，在`lib/cli/args.js`里定义了可以接受的参数。
+在这里，所有不打算与`server`子命令一起使用的参数都是硬编码的（例如，`driver`子命令及其子命令）。
+`args.js`还包含一个`getServerArgs()`函数，该函数转而调用`lib/schema/cli-args.js`中的`toParserArgs`。
+`lib/schema/cli-args.js`可以视为`argparse`和模式之间的“适配器”层。
+
+`toParserArgs`使用了由`lib/schema/schema.js`导出的`flattenSchema`函数，该函数将模式“压平”为键值对表示。
+然后，`toParserArgs`遍历每个键值对，并将其“转换”为适合最终传递给`ArgParser`的`ArgumentOption`对象。
+
+这个适配器（`cli-args.js`）是隐藏大部分混乱的地方；让我们进一步探索这个错综复杂的环境。
+
+##### CLI和模式不一致
+
+转换算法（见`lib/schema/cli-args.js`中的`subSchemaToArgDef`函数）
+主要就是将各种技巧和特殊情况巧妙地打包到一个函数中。
+有些事情不能从`argparse`清晰地映射到JSON模式，包括但不限于：
+
+- 模式不能原生的表达“将`--foo=<value>`的值存储在一个名为`bar`的属性中”（这对应于`ArgumentOption['dest']`属性）。
+- 模式不能原生的表达别名，例如`--verbose`也可以是`-v`。
+- 模式的枚举不限制于多种类型，但`argparse`中对应的`ArgumentOption['choices']`属性是限制的。
+- 模式不知道`argparse`中的"动作"概念（注意Appium目前没有使用自定义动作——尽管它曾经使用过，并且可能再次使用）。
+- `argparse`没有原生的`email`、`hostname`、`ipv4`、`uri`等类型，而模式有。
+- 模式验证只进行验证，不执行翻译、转换或强制转换（大部分情况下），`argparse`允许这样做。
+- 出于某种原因模式允许`null`类型，你曾在命令行上传递过`null`吗？
+- `argparse`除了基本类型之外，不理解其他任何内容，不理解对象、数组等，当然也不理解特定类型的数组。
+- 
+上述所有情况以及其他情况均由适配器处理。
+
+!!! 警告
+
+    适配器中的一些决策是通过抛硬币决定的。如果你好奇为什么某些事情会是这样，那很可能是因为它不得不这样做。
+
+让我们更仔细地看看类型的处理。
+
+#### 通过`ajv`处理参数类型
+
+虽然`argparse`允许使用者通过API定义各种参数的类型（例如，字符串、数字、布尔标志等），
+但Appium大多避免使用这些内置类型。为什么会这样呢？原因如下：
+
+1. 我们已经知道参数的类型，因为我们在模式中已经定义了它。
+2. `ajv`提供了针对模式的验证。
+3. 模式允许对类型、允许的值等进行更丰富的表达，这些是`argparse`原生无法提供的。
+4. 模式的表达能力允许提供更好的错误消息。
+
+因此，适配器避开了`argparse`的内置类型（参见`ArgumentOption['type']`允许的字符串值），
+而是滥用将函数作为类型提供的能力。例外情况是布尔标志，它们没有`type`，而是有`action: 'store_true'`。
+至于为什么会这样，可能永远没人知道。
+
+##### 类型作为函数
+
+当`type`是一个函数时，这个函数同时执行验证和强制转换（如果需要）。那么这些函数是什么呢？
+
+> 注意：如果属性类型是布尔值，那么`ArgumentOption`中的`type`会被省略（因此不是一个函数），
+> 但会提供了一个`action`属性，值为`store_true`。是的，这很奇怪。我不知道为什么。
+
+这取决于模式。但一般来说，我们会创建一个函数管道，每个函数都对应于模式中的一个关键字。
+让我们以`port`参数为例，与其询问操作系统Appium运行的用户可以绑定到哪些端口，
+不如预期这个参数是一个介于1和65535之间的整数。
+这实际上是由两个函数组成的管道，我们将它们组合在一起：
+
+1. 如果可能，将值转换为整数。因为`process.argv`中的每个值都是字符串，所以如果我们想要一个数字，就必须进行转换。
+2. 使用`ajv`根据端口的模式验证整数。模式允许我们通过`minimum`和`maximum`关键字定义范围。有关其工作原理的更多信息，请查阅相关文档。
+
+就像配置文件验证一样，如果检测到错误，Appium会友好地告诉用户，并附带一些帮助文本然后退出进程。
+
+对于其他本身就是非基本类型的参数，事情就没那么简单了。
+
+##### 转换器
+
+还记得`argparse`无法理解数组吗？但如果表达一个值最直观的方式实际上是一个数组怎么办？
+
+虽然Appium可以在配置文件中接受数组，但在命令行界面上却不能。
+Appium可以接受一个逗号分隔的字符串（CSV行），或者是一个字符串文件路径，
+指向包含分隔列表的文件。无论哪种方式，当值从参数解析器中输出时，它都应该是一个数组。
+
+如上所述，JSON模式的原生功能无法表达这一点。然而可以定义一个自定义关键字，
+Appium可以检测并相应地处理它，这就是Appium所做的。
+
+在这种情况下，使用`ajv`注册了一个自定义关键字`appiumCliTransformer`。
+在编写本文时，`appiumCliTransformer`的值可以是`csv`或`json`。
+在基础模式文件`appium-config-schema.js`中，如果希望这种行为发生，
+Appium会使用`appiumCliTransformer: 'csv'`。
+
+!!! 注意
+
+    在模式中定义的任何类型为数组的属性都会自动使用csv转换器。同样，类型为对象的属性将使用json转换器。
+    可以想象，某些情况下数组可能想要使用JSON转换器，但除此之外，
+    在类型为数组或对象的属性上使用`appiumCliTransformer`关键字并不是严格必要的。
+    
+适配器（还记得适配器吗？）创建了一个管道函数，其中包括一个特殊的“CSV转换器”，转换器在`lib/schema/cli-transwers.js`中定义，
+并将此函数作为值传递给`argparse`的`ArgumentOption`的`type`属性，在这种情况下，模式中的`type: 'array'`将被忽略。
+
+!!! 注意
+
+    配置文件不需要执行任何复杂的值转换，因为它自然允许Appium准确定义它所期望的内容。
+    因此Appium不会对配置文件值进行后期处理。
+
+不需要这种特殊处理的属性直接使用`ajv`进行验证。这是如何工作的一些解释，所以接下来就是这样。
+
+#### 通过 `ajv` 实现单个参数的验证
+
+当我们思考 JSON 模式时，通常会认为“我有一个 JSON 文件需要根据模式进行验证”。这种理解是正确的，实际上 Appium 在处理配置文件时正是这样做的！不过，Appium 在验证参数时采用了不同的方式。
+
+!!! 注意
+
+    在实现过程中，我曾试图将所有参数组合成一个类似配置文件的数据结构进行统一验证。虽然这在理论上是可行的，但由于 CLI 参数对象是扁平的键/值结构，而模式本身并非扁平结构，这种做法可能会引发问题。
+
+Appium 实际采用的方式是：针对模式中特定的属性对参数值进行验证。为此，系统维护了 CLI 参数定义与对应模式属性之间的映射关系。这个映射关系通过一个 `Map` 实现，其中键是参数的唯一标识符，值是一个 `ArgSpec` 对象（定义于 `lib/schema/arg-spec.js`）。
+
+`ArgSpec` 对象包含以下元数据：
+
+| 属性名称        | 描述                                                                                     |
+| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `name`          | 参数的规范名称，对应模式中的属性名                                                      |
+| `extType?`      | 扩展类型（`driver` 或 `plugin`），如果适用                                                |
+| `extName?`      | 扩展名称，如果适用                                                                        |
+| `ref`           | 模式中该属性的计算后 `$id` 引用                                                         |
+| `arg`           | CLI 接受的参数名（不带前导短横线）                                                      |
+| `dest`          | 解析后参数对象的属性名（由 `argparse` 的 `parse_args()` 返回）                          |
+| `defaultValue?` | 模式中 `default` 关键字对应的值（如果存在）                                               |
+
+当模式完成[最终化](#schema-finalization)时，该 `Map` 会被填充所有已知参数的 `ArgSpec` 对象。
+
+在适配器为参数的 `type` 创建函数管道时，系统已经拥有该参数的 `ArgSpec`。它会创建一个调用 `validate(value, ref)` 的函数（位于 `lib/schema/schema.js`），其中 `value` 是用户提供的参数值，`ref` 是 `ArgSpec` 的 `ref` 属性。核心原理在于 `ajv` 可以使用任何已知的 `ref` 进行验证——无论该属性是否被显式定义，模式中的每个属性都可以通过其 `ref` 被引用。以下列模式为例：
+
+```json
+{
+  "$id": "my-schema.json",
+  "type": "object",
+  "properties": {
+    "foo": {
+      "type": "number"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+其中 `foo` 的 `ref` 应为 `my-schema.json#/properties/foo`。假设我们的 `Ajv` 实例已注册该模式，即可通过 `getSchema(ref)` 方法（虽然名称有误，但其 `schema` 属性有效）获取验证函数；`schema.js` 中的 `validate(value, ref)` 方法正是调用此验证函数。
+
+!!! 注意
+
+    虽然模式规范允许通过显式声明 `$id` 来覆盖默认引用标识，但 Appium 目前不支持此特性。如有需要，扩展开发者必须谨慎使用不包含自定义 `$id` 的 `$ref` 引用。不过 Appium 自身的模式定义都未使用 `$ref`，可见扩展通常不需要如此复杂的模式结构。
+
+接下来我们将探讨 Appium 如何加载模式。值得注意的是，模式加载过程实际上发生在参数验证之前。 
+
+## 模式加载
+
+让我们暂时忽略扩展功能，先从基础模式开始解析。
+
+当首次导入 `lib/schema/schema.js` 模块时，系统会创建一个 `AppiumSchema` 实例。该实例为单例模式，其所有方法（均已绑定到实例）都通过该模块对外暴露。
+
+构造函数仅执行基础操作：实例化一个 `Ajv` 验证器实例，并通过以下方式对其进行配置：添加 Appium 的[自定义关键字](#custom-keyword-reference);
+通过 [ajv-formats](https://npm.im/ajv-formats) 模块启用 `format` 关键字支持。
+
+在调用 `finalize()` 方法（导出为 `finalizeSchema()`）之前，`AppiumSchema` 实例不会与 `Ajv` 实例产生交互。此方法的调用标志着"模式定义阶段结束，将开始创建 `ArgSpec` 对象并向 `ajv` 注册最终模式"。
+
+最终化触发的时机如下：
+
+1. 当 `appium` 可执行文件启动时，首先在 `APPIUM_HOME` 目录中检查并配置扩展（此处简化处理）
+2. 随后开始处理参数——实例化 `ArgParser`，该操作会运行适配器将模式转换为参数定义
+3. 最终化在此处发生：创建解析器时，Appium 需要向 `ajv` 注册模式以生成参数验证函数
+4. 通过 `ArgParser`完成参数解析
+5. 最终根据解析结果决定后续操作流程
+
+即使没有扩展功能，`finalize()` 仍会识别 Appium 的基础模式（`appium-config-schema.js`）并进行注册。不过上述步骤 1 实际涉及复杂的扩展处理机制，接下来我们将深入探讨扩展功能的影响。
+
+## 扩展支持
+
+本系统的设计目标之一是：
+
+扩展应该能够向Appium注册自定义CLI参数，用户应该能够像使用其他参数一样使用它们。
+
+此前，Appium 2通过`--driverArgs`方式接受参数，但验证过程需要手动实现，并要求扩展开发者使用自定义API。这种方式还要求用户在命令行中笨拙地传递JSON字符串作为配置。此外，这些参数没有上下文帮助信息（通过`--help`）。
+
+现在，通过为选项提供模式（schema），驱动或插件可以向Appium注册CLI参数和配置文件模式。
+
+要注册模式，扩展必须在其`package.json`中提供`appium.schema`属性。该值可以是模式本身或模式文件的路径。如果是路径，模式文件应为JSON或CommonJS模块（目前不支持ESM和YAML）。
+
+对于该模式中的任何属性，都将以`--<扩展类型>-<扩展名称>-<属性名称>`的形式作为CLI参数出现。例如，如果`fake`驱动提供了`foo`属性，对应的参数将是`--driver-fake-foo`，并会像其他CLI参数一样显示在`appium server --help`中。
+
+配置文件中对应的属性路径为`server.<扩展类型>.<扩展名称>.<属性名称>`，例如：
+
+```json
+{
+  "server": {
+    "driver": {
+      "fake": {
+        "foo": "bar"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+上述命名约定避免了不同扩展类型之间的名称冲突问题。
+
+!!! 注意
+
+    虽然扩展可以通过`appiumCliAliases`提供别名，但禁止使用"短"标志（short flags），因为所有扩展参数都带有`--<扩展类型>-<扩展名称>-`前缀。根据[Lodash的kebab-case规则](https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#kebabCase)，扩展名称和参数名称在CLI中将被转换为kebab-case格式。
+
+模式对象的结构与Appium基础模式相似，但仅支持顶层属性（目前不支持嵌套属性）。示例：
+
+```json
+{
+  "title": "为cowabunga驱动设计的超棒模式",
+  "type": "object",
+  "properties": {
+    "fizz": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "default": "buzz",
+      "$comment": "对应CLI参数--driver-cowabunga-fizz"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+在用户的配置文件中，该属性将表示为`server.driver.cowabunga.fizz`。
+
+当扩展被加载时，`schema`属性会被验证，并且模式会被注册到`AppiumSchema`中（在调用`finalize()`之前不会注册到`Ajv`）。
+
+在最终化阶段，每个注册的模式都会被添加到`Ajv`实例中。模式会根据扩展类型和名称分配一个`$id`（这会覆盖扩展可能提供的任何现有ID）。模式还会通过`additionalProperties: false`强制禁止未知参数。
+
+在底层实现中，基础模式包含`driver`和`plugin`属性（都是对象类型）。最终化时，会为每个属性添加对应扩展名称的子属性，其值是对扩展模式中`$id`的引用。例如，`server.driver`属性将如下所示：
+
+```json
+{
+  "driver": {
+    "cowabunga": {
+      "$ref": "driver-cowabunga.json"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+这就是为什么我们称之为“基础”模式——当扩展提供模式时，它会发生变化。扩展模式是分开保存的，但在最终将其添加到`ajv`之前，会将引用添加到模式中。这是有效的，因为`Ajv`实例能够理解已注册模式之间的相互引用。
+
+!!! 注意
+
+    这使得为Appium及其安装的扩展提供完整的静态模式变得不可能（截至2021年11月5日）。基础模式会通过Gulp任务生成静态`.json`模式文件，但不包含任何扩展模式。这种静态模式还有其他用途，例如IDE可以通过这种方式提供配置文件的上下文错误检查。这个问题需要后续解决？
+
+与在基础模式中查找参数的引用ID方式相同，扩展参数的验证过程完全一致。如果`cowabunga`驱动的模式ID是`driver-cowabunga.json`，那么`fizz`属性可以通过`driver-cowabunga.json#/properties/fizz`路径在任意已注册模式中被引用。“基础”模式参数的引用路径则以`appium.json#properties/`开头。 
+
+## 开发环境支持
+
+在开发流程中，我们自动化了以下几个任务来维护基础模式：
+
+- 作为后置转译步骤，会从 `lib/schema/appium-config-schema.js` 生成 `lib/appium-config.schema.json`（除了 Babel 生成的 CJS 对应文件外）
+- 该文件受版本控制管理。在此步骤中会被复制到 `build/lib/appium-config.schema.json`
+- 通过预提交钩子（参见 monorepo 根目录的 `scripts/generate-schema-declarations.js`）会从上述 JSON 文件生成 `types/appium-config-schema.d.ts`
+- `types/types.d.ts` 中的类型定义依赖此文件，该文件受版本控制管理
+
+## 自定义关键字参考
+
+关键字定义于 `lib/schema/keywords.js`
+
+- `appiumCliAliases`: 允许模式声明参数别名（例如 CLI 参数可以是 `--verbose` 或 `-v`）。值为字符串数组。短于三（3）个字符的字符串将使用单短横线（`-`）而非双短横线（`--`）开头。注意任何由扩展提供的参数都必须以双短横线开头，因为这些参数需要带有 `--<extension-type>-<extension-name>-` 前缀
+- `appiumCliDest`: 允许模式指定 `argparse` 解析后参数对象中的自定义属性名。若未设置，将转换为驼峰式命名
+- `appiumCliDescription`: 允许模式覆盖命令行显示的参数描述。与 `appiumCliTransformer`（或 `array`/`object` 类型属性）配合使用时非常有用，因为 CLI 用户可提供的内容与配置文件用户可提供的内容存在显著差异
+- `appiumCliTransformer`: 目前支持 `csv` 和 `json` 两种选项。这些是用于后处理值的自定义函数。在加载和验证配置文件时不使用这些转换器，但核心思想是它们应该产生与使用配置文件相同的对象（例如字符串数组）。`csv` 用于逗号分隔字符串和 CSV 文件；`json` 用于原始 JSON 字符串和 `.json` 文件
+- `appiumCliIgnore`: 若为 `true`，则不在 CLI 中支持该属性
+- `appiumDeprecated`: 若为 `true`，该属性将被视为"已弃用"，并会向用户显示为弃用状态（例如在 `--help` 输出中）。注意 JSON Schema draft-2019-09 引入了新的 `deprecated` 关键字，如果我们升级到该元模式应该改用此关键字。迁移时，`appiumDeprecated` 本身应被标记为 `deprecated`
