Gaining access to Command-line from Maestro

Command-Line within Maestro

Maestro works inside a sandbox, which means you literally can't even stick your nose out of the box. Well, almost. Let's bypass this limitation and learn how to gain access to the command line from tests.

Usage

1. Install dependencies

   npm install
   brew install facebook/fb/idb-companion
   pip3.6 install fb-idb

2. Install maestro

   curl -Ls "https://get.maestro.mobile.dev" | bash

3. Run the server

   node server.js &

4. Run the sample test

   udid=`idb list-targets --only simulator --json | jq 'select(.name=="iPhone 14")' | jq -r '.udid'`
   app_id="com.apple.Preferences" # This is a Settings app, just as an example
   xcrun simctl bootstatus ${udid} -b
   maestro --udid ${udid} test --env app_id=${app_id} test.yaml
