GitHub actions emulator-wtf/actions@v1.0.0

The emulator.wtf GitHub actions have moved!

Important

Changes since emulator-wtf/run-tests@v1.0.0-rc02:

  • New: Sessions are now generally available for all users.
  • New: use the emulator-wtf/actions/use-emulator@v1.0.0 action to make use of a generic adb-connected emulator in your workflows.
  • Improved: reduced test setup overhead for runs with large APK files across many shards. You can expect up to 10x less time from test submission to the first test start when using a very large number of shards.
  • Improved: the emulator-wtf/actions repository has immutable releases.
  • Fixed: increased client-side test run timeout to account for repeat attempts of flaky tests.
  • Fixed: report proper result-file download timing.
  • Fixed: properly parse the GITHUB_REF_NAME env var when running in GitHub Actions.
  • Maintenance: default ew-cli version has been bumped to 1.3.0.
