Attempt to run Android tests in GH action based on NPM #8

Copilot · 2025-08-29T08:09:29Z

Migrated Android emulator CI to use ARM64 system image (system-images;android-33;google_apis;arm64-v8a) for Apple Silicon GitHub Actions runners.
Removed x86_64 image usage from workflow and cache.
Scripts now auto-detect architecture and select the correct AVD/image.
Updated docs and cache steps for new architecture.

Important:

The Android emulator cannot be run in GitHub Actions CI due to lack of hardware virtualization support on Apple Silicon runners

+  'appium:noReset': true
+};
+
+const appiumServerUrl = 'http://localhost:4723/wd/hub';


The appiumServerUrl variable is defined but never used. It's redundant since the same URL is constructed from the individual components in the remote() call. Consider removing this unused variable or using it in the connection setup.

@copilot can you pls work on this

Made the server URL configurable via environment variables. Now uses APPIUM_SERVER_URL environment variable with fallback to the default localhost URL. Added .env.example file with all configuration options. Commit 9416355

config/capabilities.js

+  'appium:automationName': 'UiAutomator2',
+  'appium:deviceName': 'Android Emulator',
+  'appium:platformVersion': '11.0',
+  'appium:app': '/path/to/your/app.apk', // Path to your APK


The placeholder path '/path/to/your/app.apk' should be a more realistic example or use environment variable syntax to indicate it needs to be configured. Consider using something like '${APP_PATH}/your-app.apk' or './apps/sample.apk' to make it clearer this needs customization.

Suggested change

'appium:app': '/path/to/your/app.apk', // Path to your APK

'appium:app': process.env.APP_PATH || './apps/sample.apk', // Set APP_PATH env variable or place APK at ./apps/sample.apk

@copilot can you pls work on it

Updated the app path configuration to use environment variables with a practical fallback. Now supports APP_PATH environment variable or defaults to ./apps/sample-app.apk. Also created an apps directory and .env.example file for better user experience. Commit 9416355

+  'appium:automationName': 'UiAutomator2',
+  'appium:deviceName': 'Real Device', // Use adb devices to get UDID
+  'appium:udid': 'YOUR_DEVICE_UDID',


The placeholder 'YOUR_DEVICE_UDID' should follow a more realistic format or use environment variable syntax. Consider using '${DEVICE_UDID}' or a format that shows what a real UDID looks like (e.g., 'emulator-5554' for emulator or '1A2B3C4D5E6F' for device).

Suggested change

'appium:udid': 'YOUR_DEVICE_UDID',

'appium:udid': '${DEVICE_UDID}',

@copilot can you pls work on this

Enhanced the UDID configuration to use environment variables with better instructions. Now supports DEVICE_UDID environment variable with a clear placeholder and instructions to run 'adb devices' to get the actual UDID. Commit 9416355
