Notes

  • No timestamp printing needed. The Drone log UI shows the elapsed seconds on the right, when opening full screen.
  • Looking at the prior MR's drone run of test-stable: https://drone.nextcloud.com/nextcloud/android/28763/1/3
    • assembleGplayDebugAndroidTest: 7.5 minutes
    • waiting for Emulator: 5 seconds
    • installGplayDebugAndroidTest: 26 second
    • waiting for server & deleting old Github comments: 10 seconds
    • createGplayDebugCoverageReport (configuring the tasks): 2 minutes
    • createGplayDebugCoverageReport (actually running the tests): ? - timeout
      • After task configuration, the actual test runs in the logs are only spanning 24 minutes.
    • the last log line android(AVD) - 16 Tests 417/569 completed. (0 skipped) (0 failed) appears at second 2058 (34 minutes total time). This is shorter than the stated overall time of 60 minutes.
    • So either there is something crashing so hard that the job dangles until timeout. Or the job is stopped too early.
    • The parallel server job's last log line is also at around 34 minutes
  • Looking at this MR's drone run https://drone.nextcloud.com/nextcloud/android/28833/1/3
    • the last log line android(AVD) - 16 Tests 439/595 completed. (0 skipped) (7 failed) appears at second 2973 seconds (49 minutes total time).

@alperozturk96 I am trying to experiment with the Drone runs. Extending the timeout apparently requires an approval in the Drone UI, as I changed the .drone.yml file. For security purposes.

I don't have the permission to approve this change - so can you take a look?

My local test run worked, but it took 10 minutes per test case. Reason
seems to be a very long wait after the next screen is displayed.

blue-Light-Screenshot test failed, but no output was generated. Maybe a preliminary stage failed.
