Failed to start an instrument test from Firebase gcloud command line - android

I tried to test an app with Firebase Test lab but get an error saying "testOnly APKs are not allowed."
C:\temp>gcloud firebase test android run --type instrumentation --app myapp.apk --test myapp-androidTest.apk --device model=Nexus10,version=22,locale=en,orientation=landscape --timeout 300s

But the firebase test works when I run it in Android Studio 3.0 RC1 by setting the deployment target options to "Firebase Test Lab Device Matrix".
I searched "testOnly" in my project but not found it. It looks like it was gradle injected the attribute into AndroidManifest.xml.
Does anyone know how to resolve it?

I have the same probllem. I finally resolved by generating the apk with 'Build > Build APK(s)'
The APk is generated at : app\build\outputs\apk\debug
The apk is generated witouth the 'testOnly' label and it runs on firebase.
I found this info on https://developer.android.com/studio/run/index.html

It was Android Studio added the field. Refer to the document developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/… "Android Studio automatically adds this attribute when you click Run". Not using Android Studio, I built an APK from the command line then I can upload it to Firebase Test Lab for testing.

When you use the instant run option and the APK generated in this fashion cannot be used for any kind of firebase test.
Instead select the build option above and then select the build APK option and the the APK generated in this fashion can be used for the firebase test.

Firebase Test Lab rerun test with same uploaded APK

I working on developing Android Instrumentation Tests written in Espresso. As part of the effort, I am uploading and running in Firebase Test Lab using the Firebase Console. It would save me a lot of time if I didn't have to upload the App APK every time I want to re-run a test.
Does anybody know if Firebase Test Lab stores uploaded App and Test APKs so that a test can be re-run without requiring APKs to be uploaded again? Or an option in the Firebase Test Lab console to access an App APK that was previously uploaded?
I tried to use Firebase Storage but I can't access the files from Test Lab.
Maybe using Cloud SDK command line interface it best option since the test run will be automatically initiated once the APKs load?
Files (and APKs) that you pass to gcloud firebase test android run can be both from the local file system, as well as files stored in Google Cloud Storage. E.g. see the official documentation for the --app argument.
If you don't want to pass these files for every test invocation, upload them first to GCS with gsutil:
gsutil cp myapp.apk gs://my-bucket/myapp.apk
Then, use them for every test run:
gcloud firebase test android run --app gs://my-bucket/myapp.apk

Firebase test lab never start

I have setup a project in Firebase to run Instrumented Test for my app. I created the project from Android Studio, then I went to the Firebase Console and moved the project to Blaze Plan. I logged in and setup the project in Android Studio, so far so good, the thing is that when I try to run the test in Firebase using the Sample Spark Configuration but Android Studio never finishes to upload the APK, I don't have any error neither, what I get in Android Studio RUN console are the following lines:
Testing started at 11:29 ...
Using Cloud Storage Bucket location test-bucket-id
Uploading app APK ...
So, it seems there are some issue witht the bucket or with the project, but I'm not able to read any error anywhere. So, where can I access any log to know what is going on? Does a firebase project expose logs though its web UI or does Android Studio allows me to get some kind of logs besides what I get on the build window?
I had the same issue. Turned out there wasn't anything wrong with the project or the bucket. All I had to do was specify the package of my instrumented tests instead of using the "all in module" option in the run configuration.

Firebase test lab - Supply Robo script from CI or command line?

I am using Firebase test labs along with Jenkins to run a Robo test after each build of my Android app. Currently I use a Yaml file to setup all the configurations I need. I supply a username and password using the Robo Directives. However, I now want to supply a Robo Script that controls the sign in process a little bit more than just supplying the login details. I have made the script in Android studio, but I don't see anywhere in the documentation that allows me to supply the location of the Robo Script from the Yaml file or command line, does anyone know if this is possible?
I have tried the documentation and various links from here - https://firebase.google.com/docs/test-lab/command-line
This feature is available today in beta, but not as a full release. You can use the --robo-script flag to specify a script to upload when using
gcloud beta firebase test android run
It is not available in the release version:
gcloud firebase test android run
After some time in beta, new features will be promoted to full release. See the CLI docs for the beta version here.
I know this is an old question but I was looking for the same thing and I find it :
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/firebase/test/android/run#--robo-script
Using like this
gcloud firebase test android run --app app-release.apk --robo-script script.json

Firebase - Can't run tests against standalone test project

I'm investigating a cloud-based solution for our UIAutomator 2.0 testing needs, and I'm having quite a few issues with uploading APKs for our test project.
We have a stand-alone test project that exists separately from the main Android application project. The package for the project is in the format com.company.project and the package for the test project is com.company.project.test.
1) If I attempt to upload a test APK that has all the tests in androidTest (and the gradle uses androidTestCompile for dependencies), Firebase console complains that:
"Unable to find instrumentation package for com.company.project.test"
This is likely because our test project is standalone, and the tests actually live under com.company.project.test.test.
2) On the other hand, if I change the location of tests to java main folder in the project and change androidTestCompile to compile for the gradle dependencies, when I attempt to upload the test APK Firebase console complains again:
"We experienced an error while validating your APK. Please verify the APK is correct and upload again."
I can't get a single test running since I'm blocked both ways.
Anyone else attempt to use Firebase Test Lab with a similar project hierarchy? Help!
Finally figured it out. Don't even bother with the web UI, use the gcloud terminal to run your tests instead. It's WAY more customizable.
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/firebase/test/android/run
You can specify the --test-package to whatever your test package is, whether it's a standalone project or not.

Android Jenkins Deployment

I am looking at ways to automate Android build deployment for Beta/QA Testers via Jenkins. Are there any solutions out there that will allow me to deploy my android apk via jenkins to a test harness of some sort, from where my QA and beta testers could download and install the application ?
Everything almost work out of the box for Android on Jenkins now. You can :
use the Android Emulator Plugin and perform your tests using ant debug test
get emma coverage and reporting (you must export the emma reports as artefacts) using ant emma installd test
you can even get your unit test reports inside jenkins (export the reports as artefacts as well) using a special test runner : either the missing Android Test Runner or Zutubi test runner.
you can get lint analysis and results thanks to the Lint Plugin for Jenkins as well.
Everything that can be done with ant will also work with maven for more industrial configurations.
We are actually working on a better integration of other testing technologies and a better intregration with Sonar, this topic should get some progress during 2013.
For distributing your APK to beta testers, you can try services like HockeyApp or Google Play alpha/beta distribution, both of which have Jenkins plugins to upload your builds.
By using those services and their SDKs in your app, you automatically get usage statistics and crash reports from your testers.
