Android Github action with Gradle Managed Device

I try to make a CI test with Gradle Managed Device and Github action. I made several attempts, but I mostly run into
Execution failed for task ':app:nexusOneApi30Setup'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.ManagedDeviceSetupTask$ManagedDeviceSetupRunnable
> java.lang.IllegalStateException: Gradle was not able to complete device setup for: dev30_aosp_atd_x86_Nexus_One
This could be due to having insufficient resources to provision the number of
devices requested. Try running the test again and request fewer devices or
fewer shards.
As source I use https://github.com/android/testing-samples/tree/main/ui/espresso/ScreenshotSample in my fork which works local properly

Gradle error trying to run nativescript app on android emulator on mac

I'm trying to run a nativescript app on android using tns run android
I'm always getting gradle error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file:
'/Volumes/My_SSD/myproject/platforms/tempPlugin/kinvey_nativescript_sdk/bui
ld.gradle' line: 28
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project '`kinvey_nativescript_sdk`'.
> Failed to apply plugin [class 'org.gradle.api.plugins.BasePlugin']
> Could not create service of type OutputFilesRepository using ExecutionServices.createOutputFilesRepository().`
I tried the following:
Run ./gradlew --stacktrace but I got this error:
Caused by: org.gradle.cache.LockTimeoutException: Timeout waiting to lock
execution history cache
(/Volumes/My_SSD/myproject/platforms/tempPlugin/kinvey_nativescript_sdk/.gr
adle/5.1.1/executionHistory). It is currently in use by another Gradle
instance.

Our PID: 50331

Our operation:

Deleted .lock files manually and re-ran tns run android but I got the same error again
Run
chmod R+x/Volumes/My_SSD/myproject/platforms/tempPlugin/kinvey_nativescript_sdk
Didn't fix the problem
The app runs fine on ios emulator and but not on android

I was having the same problem, looks to be related with this Gradle issue.
The workaround I found here is to move the project to the home folder (~).

Android Espresso shards randomly fail with INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK

EDIT: Below is the original post. It was the initial issue I had ran into, but repeating my steps over and over I am getting different results. The first time I tried to run my shards after posting this, I got:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':ProgressiveApp:packageInternalStaging'.
> invalid distance too far back
The next time:
> invalid code lengths set
And the next:
> Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream
All three appear to be zip/compression related issues. Perhaps this is my primary issue.
Original post below:
I'm using AndroidX Espresso 3.1.0 along with ANDROIDX_TEST_ORCHESTRATOR. The only issue I have is that when I run shards (to speed up test runs), it sometimes decides to fail for no good reason.
For example, I open three terminals and three emulators. I run one of these in each terminal to kick off three separate shards:
ANDROID_SERIAL=emulator-5554 ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.numShards=3 -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.shardIndex=0
ANDROID_SERIAL=emulator-5556 ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.numShards=3 -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.shardIndex=1
ANDROID_SERIAL=emulator-5558 ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.numShards=3 -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.shardIndex=2
This then runs a third of my tests on each emulator. So good so far. After a long time, they're all done and I have a nice HTML report telling me zero tests failed. I haven't touched my code, I haven't touched the emulators. I go to touch each of the terminals. In each I hit the up arrow to grab the last command ran in that terminal, and then enter to rerun exactly what I just ran. Two of the emulators are fine and run through all their tests. The third does not, and gives me this error message below:
> Task :<snip>:connectedInternalStagingAndroidTest FAILED

Why? How? It doesn't make any sense. I hit up and enter again and then it happily runs through all the tests without issue.
My problem is that this random failure happens enough I can't set up my machines to use sharding, and therefore cannot speed up the test running process for my team.

Android Studio - Empty report when running local unit tests

Im running local unit tests (located under src/test/java) either by clicking the verification/test gradle project or from the command line "./gradlew test --continue". When the execution completes with failed tests i get the following message:
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':MyProject:testDebug'.
There were failing tests. See the report at: file:///Users/asaf.k/AndroidStudioBranch/MyProject/build/reports/tests/debug/index.html
But when i examine the html file it is always empty
Why ?

Jenkins unable to locate files on my computer

when ever I try to build my android project on jenkins it fails by saying :

Finished: FAILURE
on line 90 in my build.xml file I have a tag with the following in it :
import file="/home/tanzeelrana/android-sdk-linux/tools/ant/build.xml"
does anyone know why it is unable to locate this file ? the file exist at the exact path ....

Jenkins usually runs with its own user (jenkins),
so it is probably an issue of permissions.
Try printing the current user from within your Jenkins job.
EDIT:
See here about running Jenkins as a daemon -
it also shows how to set it to run as a different user than 'jenkins':
