gradle-plugin 0.19.4

  • New: the plugin now supports hardcoding DNS resolves via the dnsOverrides property.
  • Maintenance: bumped default ew-cli to 0.12.6.

GitHub action emulator-wtf/configure-credentials@v1.0.0

  • New: use OIDC authentication in GitHub Actions, read more here.

  • New: api-token input is no longer required, for instance when using the emulator-wtf/configure-credentials@v1 GitHub action.
  • New: added inputs for test-runner-class, secret-environment-variables, dns-server, dns-override, egress-tunnel and egress-localhost-fwd-ip. Read more about these here.
  • Maintenance: bumped default ew-cli to 0.12.6.

ew-cli 0.12.6

  • New: emulator sessions can now capture video recordings similar to test runs, use --record-video to start recording videos.
  • Fixed: improved stability of the egress tunnel feature by updating the dependencies within the exit node binary.

2025-09-12

Test execution

  • Fixed: using the egress tunnel with ew-cli 0.12.5 or later added a 20-second delay when running tests.

2025-09-02

Test execution

  • Fixed: timing out test cases were not properly reported as timeouts if orchestrator, coverage and test storage service were all enabled.
  • Fixed: specifying more shards than test cases caused empty shards to run all available test cases instead of none.

2025-08-04

emulator.wtf web app

  • Fixed: test failure explanation did not work for test-cases with extremely long logs.
  • Fixed: Other sign in options link was broken in some login forms.
  • Fixed: logging in with GitHub would display an error in addition to logging in.

2025-07-30

Emulators

  • Fixed: the --models output included API versions that were not fully rolled out yet.

emulator.wtf web app

  • Fixed: videos did not display correctly on the results web page.

2025-07-21

Test execution

  • Fixed: if a class was annotated with an @Ignore annotation there was a small chance a shard would fail with the No tests! error.

2025-07-18

Test execution

  • Fixed: in a previous release on 2025-07-17 we made a change affecting test runtime order within shards. While ideally this would have no effect we’ve rolled the change back and kept the old test execution order.

2025-07-17

Test execution

  • Fixed: tests no longer fail with AndroidJUnitRunner ran more tests than expected error when using the test storage service and targeting specific test classes.

2025-07-15

ew-cli 0.12.5

  • Improved: better upload performance when testing large apk files containing native libraries.
  • Fixed: there was a race condition where internet networking was unavailable for a few seconds when using the egress tunnel feature.

gradle-plugin 0.19.3

  • Improved: better upload performance when testing large apk files containing native libraries.
  • Improved: bumped default ew-cli version to 0.12.5.

Test execution

  • Fixed: tests with large apk files sometimes failed with a non-descriptive timeout message.
  • Fixed: some skipped tests were erroneously reported as successful instead of ignored in the test results view.

emulator.wtf web app

  • Our LLM-powered test failure analysis got a noticeable upgrade, and it should now give more actionable insights.

2025-06-17

emulator.wtf web app

  • Fixed per-test videos not rendering in the results page

2025-06-13

ew-cli 0.12.4

  • Emulator sessions: the CLI will now reconnect emulators to adb when the adb server dies while a session is active.

emulator.wtf web app

  • Test result page now loads faster, especially for large test runs containing multiple devices and/or shards.

Test execution

  • Fixed flaky test repeat attempts when the initial test run was incomplete due to an application crash. When the app crashes on an initial test run the whole shard will be retried to make sure that test coverage is not lost and all tests are executed.

emulator.wtf web app

  • Enterprise organization owners can now configure the default role for new users logging in via SSO/SAML using just-in-time provisioning in the organization settings view, under the SSO/SAML settings section.

2025-05-21

ew-cli 0.12.3

  • Added: added an --dns-override $host=$ip option to ew-cli to override DNS resolution for a specific host
  • Fixed: JNA warnings printed to the console when running on JDK 24 or later
  • Fixed: ew-cli now passes proxy configuration to wireguard exit node, fixes ew-wg-exit-node timeout when using the egress tunnel feature

emulator.wtf web app

  • Added: emulator.wtf web app now supports specific testcase URLs in the form of https://emulator.wtf/o/<orgUuid>/r/<runUuid>/t/<className>/<methodName>. You can use the test details URL as a base to construct URLs like this for linking to specific testcase results directly.

2025-04-21

ew-cli 0.12.2

  • Infrastructure changes to support upcoming features

2025-04-17

Test execution

  • Updated JUnit report generation to include the timestamp attribute in <testsuite> elements.

  • Bumped default ew-cli version to 0.12.1.
  • New: added support for passing secret runner arguments via secretEnvironmentVariables, for use with things like tokens, credentials, passwords, etc.
  • New: added support for tunneling emulator egress networking to the machine the Gradle build is running on. Read more about this feature here.
  • New: integrate with Gradle’s Test Reporting API (Gradle 8.13+) and Develocity’s JUnit importer.

gradle-plugin 0.19.1

  • Fixed: secretEnvironmentVariables were not passed to the emulator correctly and had no effect.

2025-04-10

ew-cli 0.12.1

  • Fixed a possible FileAlreadyExistsException wg-exit-node.edb0f9de race condition when using the egress tunnel.
  • Fixed ew-cli occasionally failing to read app or test apk when running on Java 24.

2025-04-08

ew-cli 0.12.0

  • Added the ability to pass secret runner arguments via --secret-environment-variables, for use with things like tokens, credentials, passwords, etc. These will be passed to the test runner in the same way as --environment-variables, but won’t be visible in the emulator.wtf UI. Alternatively, secrets can be passed in via environment variables having the EW_SECRET_ prefix, e.g. EW_SECRET_foo=bar.
  • You can now override the test instrumentation runner used with --test-runner-class.
  • Fixed formatting issues when displaying --help.
  • Added support for tunneling emulator egress networking access over to ew-cli. Read more about the egress tunnel here.
