I think I removed a typo. You probably don't want a new virtualenv every time you start a homeserver?

# Automate user interface tests
|
|
|
|
Element Android ensures that some fundamental flows are properly working by running automated user interface tests.
|
|
Ui tests are using the android [Espresso](https://developer.android.com/training/testing/espresso) library.
|
|
|
|
Tests can be run on a real device, or on a virtual device (such as the emulator in Android Studio).
|
|
|
|
Currently the test are covering a small set of application flows:
|
|
- Registration
|
|
- Self verification via emoji
|
|
- Self verification via passphrase
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
Out of the box, the tests use one of the homeservers (located at http://localhost:8080) of the "Demo Federation of Homeservers" (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#running-a-demo-federation-of-synapses).
|
|
|
|
You first need to follow instructions to set up Synapse in development mode at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#synapse-development. If you have already installed all dependencies, the steps are:
|
|
|
|
```shell script
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse.git
|
|
$ cd synapse
|
|
$ virtualenv -p python3 env
|
|
$ source env/bin/activate
|
|
(env) $ python -m pip install --no-use-pep517 -e .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Every time you want to launch these test homeservers, type:
|
|
|
|
```shell script
|
|
$ source env/bin/activate
|
|
(env) $ demo/start.sh --no-rate-limit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Emulator/Device set up**
|
|
|
|
When running the test via android studio on a device, you have to disable system animations in order for the test to work properly.
|
|
|
|
First, ensure developer mode is enabled:
|
|
|
|
- To enable developer options, tap the **Build Number** option 7 times. You can find this option in one of the following locations, depending on your Android version:
|
|
|
|
- Android 9 (API level 28) and higher: **Settings > About Phone > Build Number**
|
|
- Android 8.0.0 (API level 26) and Android 8.1.0 (API level 26): **Settings > System > About Phone > Build Number**
|
|
- Android 7.1 (API level 25) and lower: **Settings > About Phone > Build Number**
|
|
|
|
On your device, under **Settings > Developer options**, disable the following 3 settings:
|
|
|
|
- Window animation scale
|
|
- Transition animation scale
|
|
- Animator duration scale
|
|
|
|
## Run the tests
|
|
|
|
Once Synapse is running, and an emulator is running, you can run the UI tests.
|
|
|
|
### From the source code
|
|
|
|
Click on the green arrow in front of each test. Clicking on the arrow in front of the test class, or from the package directory does not always work (Tests not found issue).
|
|
|
|
### From command line
|
|
|
|
````shell script
|
|
./gradlew vector:connectedGplayDebugAndroidTest
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
To run all the tests from the `vector` module.
|
|
|
|
In case of trouble, you can try to uninstall the previous installed test APK first with this command:
|
|
|
|
```shell script
|
|
adb uninstall im.vector.app.debug.test
|
|
```
|
|
## Recipes
|
|
|
|
We added some specific Espresso IdlingResources, and other utilities for matrix related tests
|
|
|
|
### Wait for initial sync
|
|
|
|
```kotlin
|
|
// Wait for initial sync and check room list is there
|
|
withIdlingResource(initialSyncIdlingResource(uiSession)) {
|
|
onView(withId(R.id.roomListContainer))
|
|
.check(matches(isDisplayed()))
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Accessing current activity
|
|
|
|
```kotlin
|
|
val activity = EspressoHelper.getCurrentActivity()!!
|
|
val uiSession = (activity as HomeActivity).activeSessionHolder.getActiveSession()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Interact with other session
|
|
|
|
It's possible to create a session via the SDK, and then use this session to interact with the one that the emulator is using (to check verifications for example)
|
|
|
|
```kotlin
|
|
@Before
|
|
fun initAccount() {
|
|
val context = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().targetContext
|
|
val matrix = Matrix.getInstance(context)
|
|
val userName = "foobar_${System.currentTimeMillis()}"
|
|
existingSession = createAccountAndSync(matrix, userName, password, true)
|
|
}
|
|
```
