I'm using the Press action to press a view by its contentDescription. This view is at the top of a scrollable view. It's impossible to press it because the current Press implementation scrolls to the bottom of the scroll view before finding my view.

I've traced the problem to the usage of searchButton at the beginning of the Press action. It scrolls to the bottom of the view looking for the desired button. It doesn't find my view because I'm looking for a View by content id, which is done later on in the method. Because the scroll view is now at the bottom, my view isn't found.

If I comment out line 21, my view is found. Is this line needed? The only reason I can think of that it's there is because it caches the buttons that it sees when scrolling, but I don't see that behavior documented anywhere.

It's possible to get an app running under calabash to generate emma coverage data if you use the steps from this Stack Overflow question. It'd be good if calabash provided an option so it could be told that it should pass the -e coverage true option to adb shell am instrument.

This could possibly be done with an environment variable that's picked up in the start_test_server_in_background method later.

Just updated to the latest from master branch, and I'm now getting INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY when "calabash-android run" tries to install the test apk:

Could not install app test_servers/36104e75e0ea8adf668d52cf35c1ba07_0.2.11.apk: pkg: /data/local/tmp/36104e75e0ea8adf668d52cf35c1ba07_0.2.11.apk

unexpected return (LocalJumpError)

Does the test apk now require some shared libraries to be installed on the device (ie a certain version of the Google Add-On API's)?

in the file support / app_life_cycle_hooks.rb, if the host os is windows, the program will block when
system(%Q(start /MIN cmd /C #{cmd})).
the reason seems to be system() will wait until the cmd return, so need to use another thread to run the cmd.
replace the func system() with IO.popen(cmd) may fix the issue.

Running ant test with no adb.device.arg fails.

For my testing, I'm interested in the ability to test the behavior of the app when it's never been started before. I have a number of tests that describe this behavior. The current architecture makes this difficult as the test ant target starts the backend and runs all the tests. Once the backend is started, there's no way to test this "fresh start" behavior.

The solution that I'm currently developing is that instead of running ant test to start all of the tests, you run cucumber. In a before hook for each feature where a fresh start is desired, the app is reinstalled and the instrumentation backend is started. This takes a bit longer, especially with the emulator, but the increased testing ability is worth it.

Another side effect is that JRuby cucumber isn't necessary and the tests can be run with the standard Ruby cucumber, which is a bit more up to date.

I haven't finished my changes, but I wanted to mention them here first, as they're somewhat big. I'll push them to my fork sometime soon.

gh-106 added a reference to android.widget.SearchView which is available in api level 11.

This can be fixed using reflection

Hey,

I'm using calabash-android build myApp.apk to build the test server and (as of v0.2.9) this creates the file

test_servers/a3409ed75a6d63bf4c0f63915bf22da0_0.2.9.apk

instead of

features/support/Test.apk

(as it was in earlier versions).

I'd like the possibility to specify the path to where the "Test.apk" is created so I can know which file it creates (I'm using calabash-android build without calabash-android run if that matters).

Timeout.timeout(10) do

yields a much higher success rate. Even on a new Core i7 MacBook Pro, timeout(5) is rarely sufficient.

• Android: 2.2.1
• Version: I9000XXJQ1
• Device: Samsung Galaxy S (connected to PC via USB in debug mode)
• "build.properties" is configured correctly:
  tested.package_name=com.NAME1.NAME2
  tested.main_activity=com.NAME1.NAME2.ui.ActivityWelcomeLogin
  tested.project.apk=dTestApp.apk
  ("dTestApp.apk" is placed in Calabash root directory)

After command "ant clean test -Dadb.device.arg=-d" app and instumentation backend are installed on device, but no any further actions are made by Calabash:

On Robotium,
having your test class set up like this will automatically start your app at that specific activity. This saves quite a bit of time since the android emulator is naturally slow... so being able to skip a bunch of views is something quite beneficial in terms of speed.

I very like calabash android. great job!
but when i try it on cygwin, it always failed due to. "sh: start: command not found"

from the source code, "start" is use to run cmd on windows. but on cygwin, function is_windows? return true.
so need to modify the function.

attached my modification. I change the function is_windows? to check_is_windows?. because there were too much instance of is_windows?

def check_is_windows?
#ENV["OS"] == "Windows_NT"
"windows" == os_family
end

def os_family
case RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os']

"windows"
else
"other"
end

calabash-ios output is formatted well with coloration and is easy to spot failed tests, steps etc. calabash-android is verbose and difficult to quickly eyeball the running scenario or failed steps. Can we enable a similar output format on calabash-android?

The method WebView.getWebChromeClient has been removed in Android 4.1.1. It was originally marked with "@hide API council approval" and had been worked around in Calabash by using reflection. In Jelly Bean it has been removed which causes a failure:

  Step unsuccessful: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: getWebChromeClient [] (RuntimeError)

This affects all actions that use a WebView.

Android 4.0.4 still contains the method, compare
http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.0.4_r2.1/android/webkit/WebView.java/
and
http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.1.1_r1/android/webkit/WebView.java/

The location to fix this is in CalabashChromeClient, which abstracts access to the WebChromeClient. I don't know how to fix it though.

The calabash-android canned steps is missing examples.

For instance, in this canned step: Then /^I wait for the "([^\"]*)" screen to appear$/, it is difficult to know what to pass as the parameter.

I've submitted a MapViewUtils class to robotium:
http://code.google.com/p/robotium/issues/detail?id=291

Once released, the following should be supported:

 When /^I centre the map at (-?\d+\.\d+), (-?\d+\.\d+)$/ do | lat, lon |
   performAction('set_map_center', lat, lon)
 end

 When /^(?:I )?set the zoom level to (\d+)$/ do | zoom |
   performAction('set_map_zoom', zoom)
 end

 When /^(?:I )?zoom (in|out) on the map$/ do | zoom |
   performAction('set_map_zoom', zoom)
 end

 Then /^I should see the following markers:$/ do | marker_table |
   verify_markers( marker_table )
 end

 Then /^I should see the following (\d+) markers:$/ do | number_of_markers, marker_table |
   verify_n_markers( number_of_markers, marker_table )
 end

 require 'json'

 def verify_markers( expected_marker_table )
   result = performAction('get_map_markers')
   actual_table = result['bonusInformation']

   actual_table.each_with_index do | marker_info, index |

     marker_info = JSON.parse( marker_info )
     actual_table[index] = marker_info
   end

Hi,

I had to clear the login name in the webview and then enter the valid name.

I created a step that invokes action(key) "set_text" or "enter_text_by_selector" and passed an empty string as "". But this doesn't clear the login element.

Should there be a new action defined in instrumentation_backend to clear the value for elements in webview similar to ClearTextByIndex.java or ClearTextFieldByContentDescription.java or can the existing set_text/enter_text_by_selector action be fixed to clear the value of an element.

Thanks.

When I try to send an ampersand '&' in a command parameter to the execute_javascript function causes the following error:

  Step unsuccessful: Unexpected end-of-input: was expecting closing quote for a string value
   at [Source: java.io.StringReader@41ac23d8; line: 1, column: 93] (RuntimeError)

My guess is that the arguments are passed as HTTP query string or post parameters and not encoded properly. This would cause the ampersand to break the URL parameter into two.

Failing command example:

performAction('execute_javascript', '&')

I cloned the latest version of calabash android this morning (2012-04-09) and while running the
build clean test
command I run into the issue that calabash-js is missing.

After cloning the JS project from https://github.com/calabash/calabash-js.git and putting into the instrumentation_backend folder the build went through.

I'm building my app using Maven 3 (so that I can optionally instrument for coverage data collection using EMMA).

When I attempt to build the calabash-android test app using ant (1.8.2) I get an error:

jarsigner error: java.security.SignatureException: private key algorithm is not compatible with signature algorithm

I found a post at Stack Overflow that says that (under JDK 7) the sigalg should be set to SHA1withDSA. Even though I'm using Java 6 on OS X, this seems to fix the problem for me.

Would changing from MD5withRSA to SHA1withDSA cause any problems for anybody else?

test-server/build.xml:

...
<target nam="-sign">
  <exec executable="jarsigner">
    <arg value="-sigalg"/>
    <arg value="SHA1withDSA"/>
    ....

perform action Scroll_to works ok on my 2.2 emulator, but seems to fail on 2.3.3

When running "calabash-android build" to build the test server, an exception is thrown by Ant:

build.xml:31: taskdef A class needed by class com.android.ant.ApkBuilderTask cannot be found: com/android/sdklib/build/SealedApkException

I have had to edit %RUBY_HOME%\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\calabash-android-0.1.0\test-server\build.xml:

<path id="android.antlibs">
    <pathelement path="${env.ANDROID_HOME}/tools/lib/anttasks.jar" />
    <pathelement path="${env.ANDROID_HOME}/tools/lib/sdklib.jar" />
    <pathelement path="${env.ANDROID_HOME}/tools/lib/androidprefs.jar" />
</path>

...the "androidprefs.jar" may not be necessary, but I figured while I'm there I may as well...

The test-server now successfully builds

The predefined steps in Android and iOS are slightly different. Example: Android uses "press" instead of "touch".

I understand I can run custom steps to ensure parity, but for first-timers, it would be great if the predefined steps were same so that we can reuse feature files across iOS and Android.

Every once in a while, ADB hangs while installing either the instrumentation app or the app to be tested. This has only happened using the emulator from calabash so far. I think it may be related to this issue. I'm thinking of resolving it using the retriable gem and giving ADB a 30-60s timeout and 2-3 retries any time an app is uninstalled or installed. That should at least guarantee that a test run completes when running on our CI system. Thoughts?

Jonas is aware of this issue.

The below scenario works on 2.3 device but not on 2.3 emulator.

Scenario: Accept the terms of agreement
Then I should see "United States"
Then I touch the "United States" text

The step "Then I should see "United States"" should scroll the list view and click on the text "United States". But the scroll doesn't work.
As well I changed the country name to "Australia" which is visible on the screen. Even then the above scenario failed.

Note:- The same works on Android 2.2 and also on 2.3 device

For version 0.0.6 of calabash-android gem

OK, so this is a corner case, however I discovered the following problem when switching from the older build.properties used in the pre-gemified way of using calabash-android to the newer .calabash_settings file and wanted to see if we could improve the new code so it robustly works even when the user's home folder / directory has a space in the name.

The subtle difference that broke the signjar ant task is where the older file uses key.store=${user.home}/.android/debug.keystore
while the newer file uses the full path name (which happens to have a space as my user name is "Julian Harty"
"keystore_location":"C:/Users/Julian Harty/.android/debug.keystore",

The problem is that when the space is encountered in the build script (the temporary build.xml created in a temporary folder) it uses C:\Users\Julian as the path to the debug keystore. This is an incomplete and invalid path so the signing fails.

My workaround was to use the equivalent short directory name of Julian~1 in .calabash_settings in place of Julian Harty

Could you find a way to make the new code work at least as well as the new code please? :)

For the record here are copies of the contents of my old and new files. Note: they're actually in different directories on my windows computer so don't interfere with each other.

build.properties
tested.package_name=com.ader
tested.main_activity=com.ader.ui.HomeScreen
tested.project.apk=c:\myopensourceprojects\DaisyProject\trunk\bin\DaisyReader.apk

You might have to update these values

android.api.level=8

key.store=${user.home}/.android/debug.keystore
key.store.password=android
key.alias=androiddebugkey
key.alias.password=android

.calabash_settings
{
"package_name":"com.ader",
"activity_name":"com.ader.ui.HomeScreen",
"app_path":"C:/myopensourceprojects/DaisyProject/trunk/bin",
"api_level":"8",
"keystore_location":"C:/Users/Julian~1/.android/debug.keystore",
"keystore_password":"android",
"keystore_alias":"androiddebugkey",
"keystore_alias_password":"android"

}

My app also includes jackson-core, which leads to the following error at runtime (explanation here):

E/AndroidRuntime(  765): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: Class ref in pre-verified class resolved to unexpected implementation

My current workaround is to exclude that jar from the staged libraries like below, but it's not a general fix. It won't work if you don't use jackson-core in your app.

<target name="-stage.libs">
  <copy todir="${bin.dir}/libs">
    <fileset dir="instrumentation_backend/libs" excludes="jackson-core-asl-1.9.1.jar" />
  </copy>
</target>

Based on discussion on the list: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/calabash-android/o6lUuEOuGtE/discussion

When the screen is locked on the phone, all the tests fail. On Samsung Galaxy phones it's impossible to set the screen lock delay to be longer than 10 minutes, so you have to manually unlock the screen before any tests are run.

Wakey Droid is a minimalist app that allows waking up the phone from the command line using adb (which just starts the app). As a workaround, you could install the app on the phone and run the adb command before the tests, but this seems like something that should be part of Calabash.

The source code for Wakey Droid is available (http://bitmote.com/index.php?pages/Wakey-Droid) and is only ~20 lines long. I tried to hack together an action that would do the same, but it didn't work. I omitted the setContentView and postDelayed parts, which evidently are necessary, or some of the XML configuration. However this looks like a promising way to implement this functionality.

HI,
Thanks for coming up with calabash.

I have written a sample scenario that refers to the predefined canned step. But I noticed an error message.

step that I invoked in scenario:-
Then I press view with id "com.clfarm.mobile.R.id.home_label"

Refers to canned step:-
Then /^I press view with id "([^\"]*)"$/ do |view_id|
performAction('click_on_view_by_id',view_id)
end

Error:-
getViewById: Looking for view com.clfarm.mobile.R.id.home_label which does not have an id (RuntimeError)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:62:in `timeout'

features/my_first.feature:15:in `Then I press view with id "com.clfarm.mobile.R.id.home_label"'

I have earlier relied on robotium and was able to access this id. BUt couldn't do it with calabash.
solo.getCurrentActivity().clickOnView(b.findViewById(com.clfarm.mobile.R.id.home_label));

called the dump_body_html action from the client:
04-09 17:10:59.095: I/IntrumentationBackend(4197): Got command:'Command:'Line:null,dump_body_html', arguments:'[]'

This has created an issue on the server:
04-09 17:10:59.134: W/webview(4197): java.lang.Throwable: Warning: A WebView method was called on thread 'Instr: android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner'. All WebView methods must be called on the UI thread. Future versions of WebView may not support use on other threads.

and this message is displayed as well:
04-09 17:11:01.074: E/Web Console(4197): Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerHTML' of null at null:1

and finally:

04-09 17:11:29.314: I/IntrumentationBackend(4197): Result:Success: false, message: Timed out waiting for result for JavaScript

I'm currently evaluating the use of Calabash but cannot find what license the code is release under.
A BSD or MIT license would be useful for us if it hasn't been decided yet.

We are still on 2.5 and Robotium is 3.2.1. Gotta fix that!

Sometimes running ant test will give this error:

 [exec] 
 [exec] UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

A temporary workaround is to always do ant clean test.

As noted by Jonas, there's currently an issue with scenario outlines in Calabash-android as well as Calabash-ios:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/calabash-android/c_RT3UnYO7Y

 unexpected return (LocalJumpError)
 /features/support/app_life_cycle_hooks.rb:4:in `Before'

 uninitialized class variable @@client in Calabash::Android::Operations (NameError)

John Gallagher proposed a fix for ios, which doesn't seem to fix the problem on android
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/calabash-ios/ICA4f24eSsY

Jonas, thanks for the excellent improvements by gemifying the setup of calabash-android. I may have encountered some teething problems with the calabash-android scripts. This one is where the build fails to compile the Java test driver app.

I encountered similar problems on my Mac book (running OS X 10.7) and on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop (where the following error log comes from). [I'm creating an Ubuntu VM and will test on that shortly).
I'm running Java 6 on both machines.

The gory detail follows:

C:\myopensourceprojects\DaisyProject\branches\calabashtests>calabash-android run

C:\myopensourceprojects\DaisyProject\branches\calabashtests>

WebView no longer has a mActualScale field so the getScale code that use instrumentation to look up the scale fails.

I suspect this line crashing my InstrumentationBackend from time to time (if there is no view displayed at the moment of the request):

https://github.com/calabash/calabash-android/blob/master/ruby-gem/test-server/instrumentation-backend/src/sh/calaba/instrumentationbackend/actions/HttpServer.java#L86

.get(0) throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and i get the following error:

sh.calaba.instrumentationbackend.InstrumentationBackend:..INSTRUMENTATION_RESULT: shortMsg=java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException
INSTRUMENTATION_RESULT: longMsg=java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Invalid index 0, size is 0
INSTRUMENTATION_CODE: 0

Clearly something like this:
system("#{adb_command} shell am instrument -w -e class sh.calaba.instrumentationbackend.InstrumentationBackend #{ENV['TEST_PACKAGE_NAME']}/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner 1>&2 &")
doesn't work on Windows.

All the shelling out should be fixed to work on Windows as well.

When I start running my calabash tests, I see that the steps logging is behind the executed test on-emulator. For instance, when I start a scenario, it would be on this message "sh.calaba.instrumentationbackend.InstrumentationBackend: " for atleast 5 seconds before it outputs the first few steps (in a batch). On calabash-ios, there is a lag, but it not as noticeable.

It is not a big deal, but will help non-programmers relate the console output with whats going on the screen.

HI,

I am trying to automate a webview and noticed there are no predefined canned steps to refer to corresponding webview actions.

https://github.com/calabash/calabash-android/tree/master/ruby-gem/test-server/instrumentation-backend/src/sh/calaba/instrumentationbackend/actions/webview

Any examples or suggestions will be great. Should I defined my own steps that refer to the web view actions.

Thanks

I'm just getting around to testing the new screenshot method from #69 and it looks like it reliably crashes the instrumentation backend in my 2.2 and 2.3 emulators. I haven't tried any other versions. The old one worked fine for me, even if it is less elegant than /screenshot.

What do you think about an environment variable or some configuration flag to select which screenshot method to use?

• /screenshot
• screenShotTaker.jar
• None

When touching an element in a webview with API Level 13 (Android 3.2) an exception gets raised, because 'mActualScale' is not found.
Maybe the error is in::

https://github.com/calabash/calabash-android/blob/master/ruby-gem/test-server/instrumentation-backend/src/sh/calaba/instrumentationbackend/actions/webview/CalabashChromeClient.java

Line 63::

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 14) { //before Ice cream sandwich
mActualScaleField = WebView.class.getDeclaredField("mActualScale");
} else {

Hey,

i'm automating a tablet app (that is it has a large screen) using calabash server and all I get from taking screenshots is a timeout (i've destilled it to this):

$> time java -jar screenShotTaker.jar my_funky_screenshot.png
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

    ... 5 more

• is the sourcecode to that .jar somewhere available ?
• what is the timeout's value ? can this be set by the user and/or extended to a failsafe (higher) value ?
• why doesn't it terminate after it got the error ? Looks like it's implemented with catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } .. i'd favor a System.exit(1) in the catch block.

so long,
Filip

There are canned steps defined in https://github.com/calabash/calabash-android/tree/master/ruby-gem/lib/calabash-android/steps location

Is there a way to check the result after invoking performAction() function.
For example, I invoke a step that invokes performAction(assert_text, text, true) and I want to check if the result is successful(true). If false, then I want to set a loop till the method returns true.

Is this something doable. I didn't find any information regarding capturing and processing return values.
