I saw some links and posts about running AndroidTest in Docker. Like:
https://dzone.com/articles/running-android-tests-in-docker
https://github.com/ksoichiro/android-tests/tree/master/docker-emulator
And some more. However, they all seem inappropriate for AndroidTest in CI, since they require an actual VM, or simply they are too old.
I tried the following lines Docker Image (Partial):
RUN /opt/adk/tools/bin/sdkmanager "emulator" "build-tools;${BUILD_TOOLS}" "platforms;${ANDROID_PLATFORM}" "system-images;${ANDROID_PLATFORM};google_apis;armeabi-v7a" \
&& echo no | /opt/adk/tools/bin/avdmanager create avd -n "Android" -k "system-images;${ANDROID_PLATFORM};google_apis;armeabi-v7a" \
And then I run the emulator using:
/opt/adk/emulator/emulator #Android -writable-system -nocache -no-snapstorage &
However, when trying to run connectedAndroidTest there were some weird exceptions, like:
Caused by: com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: Unknown failure: Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?
Or, if I try to manually install the test APK, and run am instrument:
android.util.AndroidException: Can't connect to activity manager; is the system running?
So my question: Is anyone is running AndroidTest on emulator as part of the CI on docker? Means, an image that you just need to mount your project and run gradle connectedAndroidTest, and everything works? Is there a working example for that?
I run AndroidTest on emulator as part of the CI on docker using this image: https://hub.docker.com/r/chrisss404/android-emulator
The problem you might encounter is that hardware acceleration is not available on your host because of missing nested KVM (just a guess, but that was the problem I was facing). In this case you have to use software rendering, which can take a significant amount of time.
With software rendering, the startup takes about 40 minutes until the emulator is usable (on my host). However, then you can run the instrumentation tests as usual in an acceptable timeframe.
Sometimes when I go to build and test my apps I get this error and it drives me off the wall. I never had to deal with this before.
Installation Failure
com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: 'cmd package install-create -r -t --full -S 2816556' returns error 'Unknown failure: cmd: Can't find service: package'
I tried following this guide here
Application Installation Failed in Android Studio
I did all the suggestions disable instant run, build apk then rebuild app, restart computer, restart android studio, use different virtual device.
Idk anymore any ideas? I am using Android Studio 3.4.1
Update: Fixed it my issue sorta. If i first launch my virtual device and get it loaded. Then run my app the error doesn't pop up. This leads me to believe that Android Studio will throw the installation error because it can't run the app on the virtual device since it takes forever to load on my laptop
Is there a way to call the task connectedAndroidTest and skip the uninstall task at the end of the process ?
At the end of the test execution, the app is uninstalled from the device, but I would like to keep the app on the device.
from http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Running-tests :
As mentioned previously, checks requiring a connected device are launched with the anchor task called connectedCheck. This depends on the task connectedDebugAndroidTest and therefore will run it. This task does the following:
Ensure the app and the test app are built (depending on assembleDebug and assembleDebugAndroidTest).
Install both apps.
Run the tests.
Uninstall both apps.
Looking at the sorce of gradle plugin there is no way to prevent uninstalling app at the end of test task. You can check that in SimpleTestCallable class of android gradle plugin.
From what i see there are two options to acchive what you want.
First one is to reinstall app after your connected check is done. Command to do that would look something like this. ./gradlew connectedCheck installDebug installDebugAndroidTest This will execute test on device and delete apps from it. But after that it will reinstall app and test app. So app will still be removed and then installed which means a bit of owerhead but at least apps will not be recompiled twice since you are executing in same gradle execution.
Second option is to not use gradle for executing tests but use adb instead.
To do this you first need to install app and test app through gradle.
./gradlew installDebug installDebugAndroidTest
After that you can execute tests through adb. by caling adb shell am instrument -w com.example.test/android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner.
When this is done you can run your cli tests since both app and test app are still installed.
With second approach you would lose all the benefits of executing test wit gradle. Such as code coverage and executing in multiple proceses, etc.
i have try my best to test my android project with gradle on, but failed.
can you help me with it?Thank you.

Done. Your build exited with 1.
Updated response: VM images already include fixed android-wait-for-emulator script and android SDK tools version 24.0.0 by default solving other issues.
Build Environment Updates - 2014-12-09
Brief response:
Bugged script causes your emulator don't be ready for your tests and your app is not installed due a timeout, so there are no tests performed and the build fails as a new behavior added to alert you about issues as this.
Explanation:
You are running on the background an outdated android-wait-for-emulator script that exits when the ADB server is running but your emulator is not fully booted (requires stopped state) (See point 7).
As your emulator is not ready and exists a two minutes INSTALL_TIMEOUT, your build fails with an InstallException caused by ShellCommandUnresponsiveException (See point 4).
You are trying to test an app running one command without --debug information, you could try my suggestion on comments and use gradle installDebug --debug and split the build (See point 2).
As you are using Travis CI build server, You need add logcat and connectedDevice logs to their output. I offer you one option that works but can be improved. Use your app module MOD_NAME=lib (See point 5).
You need manage concurrency, try to avoid create the AVD while you download/install gradle, etc. You can use install: true if you don't need it but I recommend you use it to install gradle (See point 3).
It's possible ignore this failure when you don't need test the app on an emulator or you still have no tests but Google added this feature to detect issues and I don't recommend that you disable it (See point 1).
You can disable run test from conflictive dependencies but is not your problem, ignore it now (See point 6).
I deleted points 8 and 9 about testing samples and sdcard usage because my response is too long but you use the sdcard on your lib and it's possible you need define another location for your sdcard, I don't know it.
Solving the emulator issue it's possible that sometimes you see the same error or other random issues as error core 137 (See point 10).
You can try to reload the job, change your configuration, use echo so server knows your build is not failing, use adb wait-for-device, check adb device state, increase ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT etc.
If you follow the other points, mainly to use another script and read the logs, I'm sure you'll detect and solve all the issues.
First response edited:
I didn't remember the real reason and you didn't share enough debug information but i solved this issue on my tests a weeks ago. I was not sure because I saved it as:
# com.android.ddmlib.InstallException. connectedAndroidTest run tests failed, (exceed timeout).
# #-- Issue: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=69735 (now optimize/reload job).
# #-- 144.6 --# Solution: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/112780/ (inc. install time).
Now that i think I know the solution I add comments to my previous response:
Point 1 was a work around I used when i didn't know the reason, you don't need it now. We'll solve it.
You can add this to your build.gradle on all the tested modules to ignore this failure by now.
project.gradle.taskGraph.whenReady {
connectedAndroidTest {
ignoreFailures = true
}
}
Point 2 was another work around that is useful for split the build and avoid the problem if you don't need test.
Your real problem is about install your app on an emulator that is not ready and seems a testing issue.
Or use gradle build or gradle assembleDebug assembleDebugTest.
assemble: The task to assemble the output(s) of the project
check: The task to run all the checks.
connectedCheck: Runs checks that requires a connected device or
emulator.
build: This task does both assemble and check
Note that build does not depend on deviceCheck, or connectedCheck.
See http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Android-tasks
checks requiring a connected device are launched with the anchor task
called connectedCheck.
This depends on the task androidTest and therefore will run it. This
task does the following:
Ensure the app and the test app are built (depending on assembleDebug and assembleTest)
install both apps
run the tests
uninstall both apps.
See http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Running-tests
Point 3 was the last point adapted to Travis Yaml case. I always override install stage so I'm not sure if they currently execute gradle assemble by default using their gradle v2.0 but the best you can do is to be sure nothing is executed without you know it and use install: true.
Travis sample using ./gradlew build as the script. Or ./gradle build if you are not using gradle wrapper. Really you have gradle wrapper and use wget, i don't understand it.
install:
# Check install section: http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-configuration/#install
# If you'd like to skip the install stage entirely, set it to true and nothing will be run.
- true
script:
# By default Travis-ci executes './gradlew build connectedCheck' if no 'script:' section found.
- ./gradlew build
See Travis CI skip tests (Gradle Android project)
Point 4 is the issue/feature added by Google a weeks ago that helps that you know something is wrong. If you use --debug you can read the reason that no test are performed. An InstallException caused by ShellCommandUnresponsiveException.
When running connectedCheck and no tests are found, it should be
considered a failure. This will allow detecting issue where a bad setup leads to not running any existing tests. (Xavier Ducrohet)
When running connectedCheck and no tests are found, it should be
considered a failure. The absence of tests is very different than
having tests and not having them run. This feature is for the latter
case (Jake Wharton)
See issue: 76249: Gradle should break if no tests are run
See feature: 108410: Running tests with no test found will now break the build.
Point 5 was my first "bash/yaml/ruby script" trying to find the response. Really needs be improved, I only knew that is parsed as Yaml, I used Bash manual and that is used by Ruby code. I added ' ' because looks ugly on github, i omitted it here. For line is from here
I found it, and today I have found the build with after_failure logs about this: See lines 5073, 5161, 5184
You can use after_failure section to read logcat and test outputs, perhaps you find the real problem if you already have tests and the problem is another. I think an installation issue due to emulator no ready or other CI related issues. You say the app works on your personal machine.
before_script:
# - echo 'LOGCAT'
# Check logcat debug output: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html
# Check debugging log: http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/debugging-log.html
# Comment the lines belows to debug output and redirect it to a file. Custom tags for your app.
- adb -e logcat *:W | tee logcat.log > /dev/null 2>&1 &
after_failure:
# - echo 'FAILURE'
# Check apt configuration: http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/ci-environment/#apt-configuration
# Comment out the lines below to show log about tests with app name customized on exports section.
- sudo apt-get install -qq lynx
- export MOD_NAME=yourappmodulename
- export LOG_DIR=${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/${MOD_NAME}/build/outputs/reports/androidTests/connected/
- lynx --dump ${LOG_DIR}com.android.builder.testing.ConnectedDevice.html > myConnectedDevice.log
- lynx --dump ${LOG_DIR}com.android.builder.testing.html > myTesting.log
- for file in *.log; do echo "$file"; echo "====================="; cat "$file"; done || true
Point 6 I added this only for completeness but seems useful, really i didn't try it. Ignore it now.
See linked response for: Disable run tests from conflictive dependencies
Point 7 I really pointed the main reason of your problem if I'm not wrong and i think the script can be improved as i tried to explain when i opened the issue about the emulator.
You are using a bugged android-wait-for-emulator script, so your emulator is not ready when you begin your build. They fixed it but you are using the preinstalled outdated version.
You can get the latest version using Shubham Chaudhary work around.
# Emulator Management: Create, Start and Wait
before_script:
- echo no | android create avd --force -n test -t android-21 --abi armeabi-v7a
- emulator -avd test -no-skin -no-audio -no-window &
- curl http://is.gd/android_wait_for_emulator > android-wait-for-emulator
- chmod u+x android-wait-for-emulator
- ./android-wait-for-emulator
- adb shell input keyevent 82 &
See: second response here or use my script version
I delete points 8 and 9 about tests and sdcard so I follow with the final response but you use the scard on your lib and we don't have permissions where is mounted by default.
Point 10
Issue 1: "ConnectedDevice > hasTests[] FAILED No tests found."
See issue: 76249: Gradle should break if no tests are run
See feature: 108410: Running tests with no test found will now break the build.
As debug logs show here and a Google search about it, Issue 1 changed to
Issue 2: Ddmlib is too agressive with timeouts in Device.java
See issue: 69735 -Ddmlib is too agressive with timeouts in Device.java
See feature:
112780 - ddmlib: Allow install timeout to be specified as an env variable
The names are very descriptive, can be useful, i thought it and waited for the feature but then i fixed my script and configuration issues and i dont need it. So issue 2 changes to:
Issue 3: "emulator is ready" message can be false.
See issue: 2932 - New android-wait-for-emulator script needs be fixed
See fix: New android-wait-for-emulator fixed
See alternative for custom it: Original public domain script fixed and comments
See recommended link for understand it: Starting and stopping android emulators
we are running ARM version on x86 architecture without gpu-on and limited resources, I don't know if is it currently possible enable it on an VM image but probably x86 emulator versions will work better. We need install KVM and I didnt try it on Travis build servers or know if it's possible but I did it on my computer, following this guide.
Emulator for android-21 needs more time to be ready and seems the important string was changed from not found to device not found. Travis team fixed it but the script redirects stderr to stdout and seems that adb server sends the misleading message running. They fixed it but you need the new version or an alternative as I do until VM images are updated.
If you do it and add logs to Travis output you'll see when your build has other issues as sdcard location or not. If you reload the job, it's possible that the emulator will be ready this time. You are running it on the background so it depends on what you are doing on your build. A litle change can do that Travis-ci kills a job if you don't manage the concurrency. Try to avoid downloads while the avd filesystem has been created. Remember that you use & so you are running it on a subshell and the resources are limited using a free plan. I didn't test other plans.
If you don't manage concurrency and resources, and design a good configuration script for your specific case, its's possible that sometimes your emulator is not ready, you see an error 137, you need a higher INSTALL_TIMEOUT and other random issues. You can try to reload the job and it's possible it works that time.
You can use adb wait-for-device to be sure emulator state is device before execute other heavy tasks, split the build, disable services and play with your resources. You can now use cache for public repositories if you disable sudo. I'm testing it here. I'm currently not using the cache but the container-based infrastructure seems works faster. All the jobs worked at the first time, less the 380.6 job. Issuing a ShellCommandUnresponsiveException as I think is your problem too, solved it reloading the job but probably I need improve my .travis.yml configuration file. So I looked for your issue, found my log and tried to improve this response.
I recommend you to use the original public domain script, fixed the string that changed and custom it for your case.
I had the same error message.
After pulling my hair out for a while I ran it against an emulator with Android 4.4.2 and it worked fine.
I was able to overcome issue by switching off my antivirus (in my particular case Kaspersky Internet Security)
Does anyone have any good resources for setting up Bamboo to do CI with Android projects? I have mine setup to pull source and compile it with ant. But I would love to know how to setup JUnit tests, where the tests are in a separate project.
Thanks
I have figured out how to do it using Bamboo CI and new Android Studio projects with gradle. Bamboo does not have nice drop in tasks yet but you can leverage the script runner to do it. We setup our basic build tasks as follows:
Source Code Checkout.
Script task:
Script Location: Inline
Script Body: gradlew.bat assembleDebug test (our Bamboo server is Windows so we use the bat file, linux use the ./gradlew assembleDebug test command)
Then we add a final task of JUnit parser, and we use the result directory line of: **/test-results/debug/*.xml
As for testing we use Robolectric Gradle tests, which generate JUnit test results.
I hope this helps anyone else who is looking into how to setup Bamboo with Android, hopefully they will add support one day like they do for .NET where its just a single task that builds and tests. The script command feels kind of a hack.
If someone is looking for Ant style tests, I can share that too but hopefully by now everyone has moved to Android Studio from eclipse. I will say the steps required for Ant and Instrumentation take a lot more time to setup and I had to use an emulator running on the server to do the tests.
In addition to using Bamboo to build the APK for my Android project, I also wanted to use Bamboo to run the JUnit based tests against an Android emulator. After quite a bit of "trial and error" primarily around finding a reliable way to start and stop the Android emulator, here is what I came up with for my Bamboo build plan. See Bamboo waits for script task to terminate, although it is run in the background for additional background information regarding why I take the approach described below.
My Bamboo plan has one stage with two jobs. The jobs run using two agents that execute on the same system. Both jobs start and run in parallel. One job starts the Android emulator using the Android SDK emulator command. The other job waits for the emulator to start, builds the mobile app, runs the tests against the emulator and then stops the running emulator using a final task that is always executed even if a previous task in the build job fails.
The emulator job does get "stuck" after starting the emulator because it is waiting for the emulator process to finish. When the build job runs, the final task in the build job stops the emulator which causes the emulator job to finish because the emulator process is no longer running.
Here are the key task details for the build job:
First task is a script task that waits for the emulator to start. The adb -s command below will fail causing this task to fail if the emulator failed to start.
echo "Waiting 60 seconds for the Android emulator to start"
sleep 60
echo "See if Emulator is up and running"
${bamboo.ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools/adb -s emulator-5554 shell getprop dev.bootcomplete
The second and third tasks check out the source and build the app using Gradle. The build runs the JUnit tests against the running emulator.
The fourth task which is configured as a final task is a script task that stops the emulator.
echo "Stopping the Android emulator"
${bamboo.ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools/adb -s emulator-5554 emu kill
