Running Calabash-ios and Calabash-android together

[Adham Selman]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone attempted to run both tools at the same time. What i mean is i have an app that runs on both ios and android and was wondering if it is possible to create a test that interacts with both devices. For example deviceA (iphone) sends a message and verify on deviceB (android) that the message was received. Does anyone have any ideas?

Also if i run a cucumber test, it doesnt seem obvious to me where the calabash setup happens.

Thanks

The guys at HailoCap have a cool Calabash test where they test two different apps against each other, i.e., a driver/taxi app and a customer app. Customer is at tower of london, driver is at a pub, Customer hails, driver takes ride, etc. It should be possible to do the same thing with iOS and Android. I've not tried this though. It should be doable and make for a fun demo+blog post :)

The end goal is to be able to be able to have one test that is able to talk to an ios and android device, but for know i am trying to get it to work with drb.

What calabash object would i have to attach the drb server to to be able to call all the calabash api remotely?

I work for a competitor of Hailo called Flywheel and I have ios and android scripts choreographed beautifully. It is not one script, but rather two scripts running independently and architected and timed to play nicely together. Yep, my passenger hails from his iOS device and my driver responds with his Android device, the picks up the passenger and drives him to his location while the passenger adjust the tip on his device. They complete the ride and the financial part of the transaction is completed and everyone is happy. And I am happy because I have automated the process. We'll hook up next time the calabash creators are in San Francisco and I'll show them how wonderfully I am leveraging their app.

Is there somewhere where i can access the World (this thing: 

#<CallbackWorld+Cucumber::RbSupport::RbWorld+Calabash::Cucumber::...) outside of a step? I tried to place the drb server code in AfterConfiguration but i couldnt access it.

Wow - that is a cool story. You should record a video of that running to supplement the blog post :)

Perhaps you could guide the original poster about the details of setting this up (or write that in the blog :)

Ah, but my story has a taken a bad turn. Recently I am getting the "Beach ball of death" on the Android emulator on my Mac Powerbook. Consistently. I welcome suggestions as to fix this. Close other apps and reboot? I thought that was a microsoft remedy. More RAM?

I won't be publishing any video of the choreographed test. I would rather my competitors NOT know what the next release of our software looks like. It's way cool.

Beach ball of deat - I'm not familiar with this, but I'm assuming it's not at Calabash thing :)

Fair enough on the video - perhaps you can publish that after it is released.

The "spinning beach ball of death" is detailed at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html . The advice is to "examine the logs"   I will research exactly where those logs are.
