Getting stuck at "Performing wait for params: dev.bootcomplete, sys.boot_completed, init.svc.bootanim."

[deepanshumadan]

After updating the plugin to 1.4.1, the devices are getting created and launched, ADB boot gets completed with successfully but then it gets stuck at "Performing wait for params: dev.bootcomplete, sys.boot_completed, init.svc.bootanim."

This is how my avd config looks like
{
"avd_name": "Test-Emulator-API21_1",
"create_avd_package": "system-images;android-21;google_apis;x86_64",
"create_avd_device": "Nexus 5",
"create_avd_tag": "google_apis",
"create_avd_abi": "x86_64",
"create_avd_additional_options": "--skin "1080x1920" --sdcard 2048M",
"create_avd_hardware_config_filepath": "",
"launch_avd_snapshot_filepath": "",
"launch_avd_launch_binary_name": "emulator",
"launch_avd_port": "",
"launch_avd_additional_options": "-gpu on -no-boot-anim -partition-size 2048 -wipe-data -skin "1080x1920""
}

Hey!
Sorry for late response. I will look at it tomorrow.
For now it might be helpful to tell me how your AVDs look like why script is waiting for parameters.

At first look - you could give a try without "-no-boot-anim" param. I think the problem is that I am waiting for parameters to load but they will never load as no animation is starting.

I will check it and fix it.

[deepanshumadan]

Thanks @FisherKK . AVDs looks fine, they are all ready to go and set up.

I also tried removing "-no-boot-anim", it still gets stuck at the same place.

[FisherKK]

Hey @deepanshumadan,

I apologise for the fact I had promised to look at it the day before yesterday and I could not find time. I have checked it now though and for first look it simply worked for me so I am a bit confused. For now let's make sure we are having similar SDK specs because there might be some kind of difference and we are unaware of it.

1. AVD config you have sent me looks like that:

{
    "avd_list": [
        {
          "avd_name": "Test-Emulator-API21_1",

          "create_avd_package": "system-images;android-21;google_apis;x86_64",
          "create_avd_device": "Nexus 5X",
          "create_avd_tag": "google_apis",
          "create_avd_abi": "x86_64",
          "create_avd_additional_options": "--skin \"1080x1920\" --sdcard 2048M",
          "create_avd_hardware_config_filepath": "",

          "launch_avd_port": "",
          "launch_avd_snapshot_filepath": "",
          "launch_avd_launch_binary_name": "emulator",
          "launch_avd_additional_options": "-gpu on -no-boot-anim -partition-size 2048 -wipe-data -skin \"1080x1920\""
        }
    ]
}

The difference is that I had to add \ before quoting marks which surrounds screen size as my fastlane would not run with them. JSON formatting falls apart.

2. I didn't have any SDK for Android 21 so I have downloaded everything via Android Studio. You can try to bring versions of your tools to the similar state, maybe it will help:

a) SDK Manager API:

how do you upload pictures

b) SDK Tools Tools:

c) AVD Manager - image of AVD:

4. I have made sure I have committed and sent as *.gem all code. So version 1.4.1 is most recent one.

5. About your question about downgrading to 1.3.1, it won't work since build tools 25.0.2 as there was new binaries handling AVD launch announced. You stopped using android binary and started using avdmanager instead and thats what 1.4+ is for.

Check the differences for now. I will have to look at code and "imagine what could go wrong there". I hope we will make it somehow though.

[deepanshumadan]

thanks @FisherKK for looking into it. I didn't send you the entire config, I have 6 devices in the config (same device configurations). I just tested it works fine for 2 devices, for 6 it gets stuck. I also made sure i am giving 12 gb memory to HAXm, but still its getting stuck there for 6 devices. and this started happening just after i updated the plugin to 1.4.1

[FisherKK]

I wonder if you aren't increasing RAM allowance per AVD too much. How about you try decreasing those 2048 values and number of AVD and increase little by little to see how it reacts?

[FisherKK]

Hey @deepanshumadan I wonder if you managed to fix your problem. If not then I did something that might help you. Plugin ver was updated to 1.5.0.

I have rewritten whole "wait for params" process. Now you will be able to:

• see which parameters have loaded for every device separately so you can debug an issue

• I have added 3 new optional parameters that you can put in your fastfile:
  • AVD_wait_for_bootcomplete
  • AVD_wait_for_boot_completed
  • AVD_wait_for_bootanim
    They are by default set to true. If you set any of them to false then you can disable wait for specific parameter. If you set false to all then you can skip whole parameter launch process.

Add them like that with any combination you wish:

automated_test_emulator_run(
    (... rest of params)
    AVD_wait_for_bootcomplete: true,
    AVD_wait_for_boot_completed: true,
    AVD_wait_for_bootanim: false
)
