Changing device orientation to landscape during the test execution is not working as expected

[Rama]

Hi

I am using calabash-android 0.8.0 (also happening on 0.7.3), android-dab-0.0.6, android-dab-extension-0.1.1.  I am using  hooks to set the device orientation before each scenario and the device is manually set to Portrait mode.  My regression pack starts with portrait mode and after couple of features need to set to landscape and then to portrait mode.

But when I need to set to landscape, its not recognising and hence the tests are failing as there are certain elements need to be verified in landscape mode.

I have attached my gem lock file and also given the before and after hooks.  When I set my device to landscape manually then the tests are fine, but changing device orientation with hooks is not, can some one please help as My regression pack is a combination of portrait and landscape.  Is it possible to set the device orientation irrespective of the physical orientation?

Here is my scenario log:

---------------------

@landscape @tablet

Scenario: Catch Up content matches API in landscape

    When I navigate to the Entertainment sub section Highlights screen

    And I select Catch Up tab from Entertainment Highlights section

    Then I see Catch Up content matches API

output:

 Scenario: Catch Up content matches API in landscape                  # features/landscape.feature:30

["@landscape", "@tablet"]

"Device orientation not set to Landscape"

  (ADB.portrait?) ? (ENV['DEVICE_ORIENTATION'] = 'portrait') : (p "not set to portrait")

   ADB.set_landscape

    sleep 5

   (ADB.landscape?) ? (ENV['DEVICE_ORIENTATION'] = 'landscape') : (p "Device orientation not set to Landscape")

end

 And also I am using Ruby 2.3.0, earlier tried with Ruby 2.1.2 as well.   Am not sure is this issue from adb-extension version, when i tried from ruby console it was working fine, but experiencing issues during the test execution
