You can use Genymotion Android virtual devices in the cloud. They are available on SaaS or as virtual images on AWS, GCP or Alibaba Cloud.
-
On SaaS
Use saas.json to define the devices that you want to use. You can specify the port on which the device will start so you don't need to change the device name in your tests every time you need to run those tests. Then run following commandexport USER="xxx" export PASS="xxx" docker run -d -p 4723:4723 -v ${PWD}/example/genycloud/saas.json:/home/androidusr/genymotion_template/saas.json -e DEVICE_TYPE=geny_saas -e GENY_SAAS_USER=${USER} -e GENY_SAAS_PASS=${PASS} -e APPIUM=true --name android-container budtmo/docker-android:genymotion
The deployed device(s) are automatically connected with adb inside docker container. Stopping the emulator will remove all deployed device(s) on Genymotion SaaS and user will be logged out at the end.
docker stop android-container

On AWS
Use aws.json to define the devices that you want to use. You can specify the port on which the device will start so you don't need to change the device name in your tests every time you need to run those tests. Then run following commandexport AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="xxx" export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="xxx" docker run -it --rm -p 4723:4723 -v ${PWD}/example/genycloud/aws.json:/home/androidusr/genymotion_template/aws.json -e DEVICE_TYPE=geny_aws -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID} -e GENY_SAAS_PASS=${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY} -e APPIUM=true budtmo/docker-android:genymotion
The deployed device(s) are automatically connected with adb inside docker container. Stopping the emulator will remove all deployed device(s) on Genymotion SaaS and user will be logged out at the end. As destroying all deployed ressources take time in AWS (it takes around 3 min), you need to specify the waiting time on docker stop
docker stop --time=180 android-container
