This tutorial explains how to automate instrumented tests from your desktop. This tutorial explains how to run instrumented tests locally using the command line tool gmsaas for Genymotion SaaS. Please refer to the gmsaas user guide for installation and usage.
Important
You must be authenticated with an API Token. Please refer to the gmsaas user guide for detailed instructions.
1. Create and start your instance
Use the following command:
gmsaas instances start <RECIPE_UUID> <INSTANCE_NAME>
<RECIPE_UUID> is the recipe identifier. <INSTANCE_NAME> is the name you wish to give to the instance. Once up, the command returns and shows the <INSTANCE_UUID>.
- The list of available recipes can be retrieved using the command: gmsaas recipes list
2. Connect the instance to ADB
Run the following command:
gmsaas instances adbconnect <INSTANCE_NAME> [--adb-serial-port <VALUE>]
3. Run your instrumented tests
You can use Gradle CLI or Android Studio:
- ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest
- AndroidStudio in Gradle toolbox: Tasks > verification > connectedAndroidTest
You can view your tests running in the virtual device by signing in to Genymotion SaaS.
4. Stop the virtual devices
Use the following command:
gmsaas instances stop <INSTANCE_UUID>
<INSTANCE_UUID> is the UUID (not the name!) of the instance used for the test. All data generated on the virtual device during the tests are destroyed.
