Fight flakiness about canopy.mobile HOT 12 CLOSED

I suspect it is, but I need to get it so I can launch the emulator from the code locally so I can try stuff out. Still stuck on that one.

from canopy.mobile.

what is the concrete error when you run build.cmd?

ok seems I found the issue for the flakiness in build. If the emulator is started with -no-window (headless mode) then android back button doesn't work

unfortunately this confused the build server and it's now hanging forever.

let's see if 77cd0b7 helps with the hanging processes

Ok it seems the hanging problem is fixed, but unfortunately I get "GL error while resizing" on the CI an the back button is still not working. It definetly is working on my laptop in non-headless mode.
So the question is: what is happening on the CI?

from canopy.mobile.

seems the error is related to screen resolution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39574264/android-gl-error-while-resizing-0x506-ignored

Ok. the back button is available in headless mode. Everything was a timing issue and is now resolved. I will add some helpers for animations to make that easier

What resolution is the build machine? If its running the worker agent as a windows services then I believe it is only 1024x768 and you have to change your setup to get it to work at a higher resolution.

You have to have the agent run from a DOS window on startup (if the CI server you are using has that option, which allows the resolution to be higher.

resolution issue was fixed since we go headless again ;-)
