Is it possible to run android Marathon tests with gradle setup using prebuilt apks?

[ksadowski]

Hi,

In project I'm working on android tests are run with Marathon. Recently, as brew installation of CLI often fails on our CI, I decided to try setup and configuration via Gradle.

Is it possible to run tests with Gradle tasks using prebuilt apks (skipping build process in e.g. marathonDebugAndroidTest task) like it's done with Marathonfile config?

Thanks,
Chris

No, this use-case is not supported.
Just for your understanding, gradle plugin is nothing more than a wrapper around CLI to simplify setup of cli when the project is using gradle to build the apks.

I suggest investigating the failures for cli for your case.

Okay, thanks for the answer :)

Download failure happens almost everyday with bitrise script step. Is there anything that can be added as issue for Marathon or is it just hosting/CI issue?

First type of failure:

You're using GitHub as a CDN for CI in this case. That is not a great idea since I don't think there are official SLA numbers published for downloading stuff from GitHub Downloads.

I suggest to package everything you need in the CI environment into a prebuilt image, e.g. VM/container or caching the installation packages with something like Artifactory/Nexus/etc.

The error you have is related to your unstable network connection in the CI environment and not marathon.
