Release v2.0.1

Fixes a bug that lead to a NullPointerException when executing install and run tasks, see this issue.
As a side-effect, deviceId can not be set via the new DSL. Set it within the command extension for now.

Release v2.0

This is a major release with many improvements on how the plugin is configured.

New

• DSL support for main adb wrappers.
  • Currently supporting monkey, scripts (#121), demoMode (#125), install (#127) and start (#130) extensions.
  • More information can be found in https://github.com/novoda/gradle-android-command-plugin#configuration

Improvements

• Full documentation on public configuration on command extension #129
• Clean-up sample project #126

Deprecations

• task methods in the extension are deprecated. Instead use the provided and documented DSL's to configure custom tasks. With this change,
  • Generated tasks are more consistent
  • usage is nicer-looking thanks to Groovy DSL
• sortBySubtasks is deprecated and not used internally in the plugin.
  • Tasks are not categorized by variant or simply task names anymore.
  • Instead, each provided DSL has more meaningful category.

Release v1.7.1

• Fix a bug where system animation tasks output a non-actionable warning 6 times. #119

Release v1.7.0

Changes:

• Fix a bug where installation error marked as a successful build. #104
• Fixed a bug that caused InstallTask to fail on Nougat devices. #110
• On Nougat devices, errors in adb shell commands will now cause the build to fail forwarding the error. #110
• Added a sample showing how to install APKs of all variants in one go. #109
• Monkey task configuration is adjusted to make more sense. #106

Breaking changes in Monkey configuration

Monkey task configuration is adjusted to make more sense. The following adjustments are needed if custom monkey configs are used.

This sample configuration

android {
    ...
    command {
        events 1000
        categories = ['android.intent.category.ONLY_ME']
    }
}

needs to be changed. There are 2 possible options:

• Wrap the parameters with a monkey closure. (Notice also that = after categories is not necessary anymore. Moreover, you now provide multiple categories as a comma separated list.)

android {
    ...
    command {
        monkey {
            events 1000
            categories 'android.intent.category.ONLY_ME'
        }
    }
}

• If you have a simple configuration, you can also prepend the fields with monkey.

android {
    ...
    command {
        monkey.events 1000
    }
}
