Hi all,

I updated the Android SDK in my build machine, so I can now run ICS emulator image, but now Jenkins is failing to launch Android Emulator with it.  This very same machine + setup used to work well with my Gingerbread setup.

Not sure what's the issue, but here is the log I got. Is there any other place I can look for log?

Jenkins version: Jenkins ver. 1.472
Android Emulator plugin version: 2.3
Android SDK revision: 20.0.3

Hi there,

Somebody else already reported this to me and filed an issue about it:
http://jenkins-ci.org/issue/14901

It seems to be an issue starting with SDK Tools r20.0.3 -- I'll check it
out.

Regards,
Chris

Hi again,

As I just wrote in http://jenkins-ci.org/issue/14901 -- I'm really
having a tough time reproducing this myself.

Can you give any other hints about your environment? Which OS? 32- or
64-bit? Did this work on a previous version of the Android SDK Tools --
if so, which version? Are your jobs running on the master, or on a slave?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris

Hi all,

I recently integrated Android SDK with jenkins, i tried to run the emulator, but now Jenkins is failing to launch Android Emulator with it.

the skin of emulator was availble with the sdk.

Not sure what's the issue, but here is the log I got. Is there any other place I can look for log?

According to the log, your AVD called "nexus" is already running, so
Jenkins isn't able to start it.
