A Gradle plugin for common ADB actions, primarily focused around tasks needed for UI automation.
The path to an ADB executable must be passed to the adbExecutablePath property within androidTestHelperConfig for this plugin to function properly.
Example:
androidTestHelperConfig {
adbExecutablePath = android.adbExecutable
}Creating a "pull-and-delete" task requires the PullAndDelete task type. In order to pull and delete a remote file you must specify its path using the remotePath property. Specifying the local output path (via the localOutputPath property) is optional and will default to the parent directory.
Example:
task pullScreenshots(type: PullAndDelete) {
// This would default to ../ if not overwritten here
localOutputPath = './'
// Setting this property is required
remotePath = 'sdcard/test-screenshots/'
}For granting permissions there are a couple things required:
- Target application package name
- List of permissions to grant
Example:
grantPermissions {
targetPackageName = yourAppsPackageName
permissions = [
'android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE',
'android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE'
]
}The best way to utilize this grantPermissions task is to make it depend on the application variant's install task and make the connectedAndroidTest task dependent on this grantPermissions task. This is because the application under test must be installed before permissions can be granted and permissions must be granted before running any UI tests that require said permissions. Here's a working example of this with the debug build type:
android {
...
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
if (variant.getBuildType().name == "debug") {
tasks.findByName('grantPermissions').dependsOn variant.install
variant.testVariant.connectedInstrumentTest.dependsOn 'grantPermissions'
}
}
}
NOTE: The grantPermissions task will automatically be skipped for any device that is running below Android 6.0.
