ew-cli 0.9.7

  • Fixed a bug in ew-cli --test-targets-for-shard parameter where only the first target was picked from multiple ;-separated targets

2023-03-23

ew-cli 0.9.6

  • Fixed a regression introduced in ew-cli 0.9.5 where pulling device dirs failed with a crash when downloading the test results

gradle-plugin 0.9.3

  • Added ignoreFailures option to the emulatorwtf {} project extension, which will cause the task to not fail the build if the test run fails. This is useful for CI builds where you want to run tests on multiple subprojects and don’t want to fail the build if one subproject fails.

    NOTE: you can discover whether the build was successfuly either by checking the JUnit XML files or configure the plugin to output a JSON summary of the test result.

gradle-plugin 0.9.4

  • Bumped default ew-cli in the Gradle plugin to 0.9.6

2023-03-22

ew-cli 0.9.5

  • We switched our minify stack from Proguard to R8, resulting in a rough 33% reduction in the size of the ew-cli binary

2023-03-21

ew-cli 0.9.3

  • broken release due to a bug in the Proguard minified, do not use

ew-cli 0.9.4

  • reverted changes introduced in 0.9.3

2023-03-18

ew-cli 0.9.2

  • fixed ew-cli --prepare option not working with some API token formats
  • also fixed the --prepare option always returning a non-zero exit code

2023-03-15

gradle-plugin 0.9.2

  • the Gradle plugin now runs different application variant tests in parallel using the Gradle workers
  • the plugin now creates a testWithEmulatorWtf anchor task depending on all of the possible test tasks
  • added variantFilter {} option to the plugin to selectively disable emulator.wtf for certain variants, example usage:
    emulatorwtf {
      // Do not generate the test task for some specific variants
      variantFilter {
        if (variant.buildType.name == 'release') {
          enabled = false
        }
      }
    }
    

emulator.wtf web app

  • fixed really annoying browser back behaviour where it was hard to return from a results link
  • fixed incorrectly displaying failed tests as flaky with some test runs

2023-03-13

ew-cli 0.9.1

  • added --num-balanced-shards [value] for fair, historical runtime based sharding: emulator.wtf will store historical test runtime at a single test level and will assign tests to shards in the most even way possible, leading to shorter overall test times than --num-shards or --num-uniform-shards.

gradle-plugin 0.9.1

  • bumped default ew-cli to 0.9.1
  • added numBalancedShards property for fair, historical runtime based sharding, see the ew-cli release notes above

2023-03-08

ew-cli 0.9.0

  • breaking! ew-cli now outputs a merged JUnit result XML file that combines all of the devices and shards into a single file.

    Separate JUnit result XML files, device logcat files or captured videos are no longer downloaded by default - this helps to cut down on ew-cli runtime, especially for larger test suites with many shards. Logcat and video will
    still be captured and viewable in the web UI.

    If you need to download these (to store in your CI artifacts for example) you can revert to the old behaviour by adding --outputs results_xml,coverage,pulled_dirs,logcat,captured_video.

gradle-plugin 0.9.0

  • Bumped default ew-cli version to 0.9.0
  • Added outputTypes option to the extension DSL

2023-03-01

2023-01-20

ew-cli 0.0.49

  • emulator.wtf now caches test results, as long as the app and test apks are byte-for-byte the same and the test arguments haven’t changed. Use --no-test-cache or --side-effects to disable this behaviour.
