tns test android

Description

Runs the tests in your project on connected Android devices and Android emulators. Your project must already be configured for unit testing by running $ tns test init.

Commands

Usage Synopsis
Run tests on all connected devices $ tns test android [--watch] [--debug-brk] [--aab]
Run tests on a selected device $ tns test android --device <Device ID> [--watch] [--debug-brk] [--aab]

Options

  • --watch - If set, when you save changes to the project, changes are automatically synchronized to the connected device and tests are re-run.
  • --device - Specifies the serial number or the index of the connected device on which to run the tests. To list all connected devices, grouped by platform, run $ tns device. <Device ID> is the device index or identifier as listed by the $ tns device command.
  • --debug-brk - Runs the tests under the debugger. The debugger will break just before your tests are executed, so you have a chance to place breakpoints.
  • --env.* - Specifies additional flags that the bundler may process. Can be passed multiple times. Supported additional flags:
    • --env.uglify - provides basic obfuscation and smaller app size.
    • --env.report - creates a Webpack report inside a report folder in the root folder.
    • --env.sourceMap - creates inline source maps.
    • --env.hiddenSourceMap - creates sources maps in the root folder (useful for Crashlytics usage with bundled app in release).
  • --aab - Specifies that the command will produce and deploy an Android App Bundle.
  • --force - If set, skips the application compatibility checks and forces npm i to ensure all dependencies are installed. Otherwise, the command will check the application compatibility with the current CLI version and could fail requiring tns migrate.
