Need help in calabash-android-build.rb for windows

[anoop jha]

Hi All,

I am working on running cucumber tests using calabash-android. I am getting errors while building the code. The error says " unable to find directory" in 

 calabash-android-build.rb file.

What shall I enter in "-Dtested.project.apk=\"#{app}\"",

when I write this as D:\mytestapp\test\bin\test.apk , the error is undefined symbol :\ <name error>

and if I write com.mytestapp.test.bin.test.apk , the error is uninitialised variable com.

Please help .

This is sample file

 ant_executable,
        "clean", 
        "package",
        "-Dtested.package_name=#{package_name(app)}",
        "-Dtested.main_activity=#{main_activity(app)}",
        "-Dtested.project.apk=\"#{app}\"",
        "-Dandroid.api.level=#{api_level}",
        "-Dkey.store=\"#{File.expand_path keystore["keystore_location"]}\"",
        "-Dkey.store.password=#{keystore["keystore_password"]}",
        "-Dkey.alias=#{keystore["keystore_alias"]}",
        "-Dkey.alias.password=#{keystore["keystore_alias_password"]}",


My  file 

"-Dtested.package_name=#{com.src.liontest}",
 "-Dtested.main_activity=#{main_activity(app)}",//I copy the activity name from Eclipse console after running the emulator
"-Dtested.project.apk=\"#{app}\"",


Thanks and Regards,
Anoop

Which version of Calabash are you using?

[anoop jha]

I am not sure about the version, however this should be the latest one(sorry for this, pretty new to this) . I did all my set up recently.

Please follow the instructions in https://github.com/calabash/calabash-android/blob/master/README.md

You don't need to setup anything in build properties unless your app does some non-standard things.

I read this carefully and followed all the instructions. I get this error message when I do calabash-android run <apk>.

The error says " unable to find directory" in calabash-android-build.rb file.

when i look at calabash-android-build.rb file all the parameters have default values and not the actual values. Then I opened this file in a ruby editor and changed the values. Then I run the code again. 

And getting the mentioned error.

Where do you find these files that you edit?

When you run "calabash-android run <apk>" do you replace <apk> with the path to the app you want to test?

[anoop jha]

I find this file in Ruby193/gems/bin/calabash-androisd/..../bin/calabash-android-build.rb. This folder has all ruby files.

Also  I run  calabash-android run /pathtoproject/bin/test.apk.

Then this error is coming.

[Jonas Maturana Larsen]

Please run "calabash-android run <apk> -v" with an unmodified calabash-android install and post the output here.

Please follow documentation at https://github.com/calabash/calabash-android/blob/master/README.md

You don't have to run calabash-android setup.

You app can be stored anywhere you want. (features/support/Test.apk is the test server and not your application)

Make sure you have the newest version of calabash-android by running:

gem update calabash-android
