Emulator doesn't start when caching is set up

[repeato-qa]

The emulator just never starts. This is the log we get:

[mrk-han]

@repeato-qa Can you try pinning the action to a specific release commit in both steps?

Also, has the cache ever worked for you or do you think this is a regression?

[repeato-qa]

Hi @mrk-han , it's the first time we are trying the cache. We now tried once more using a specific commit, and it's failing again. You can check the log here: https://github.com/repeato-qa/Repeato-CLI-prebuilt/actions/runs/3280238936/jobs/5400777210#step:9:988

[mrk-han]

@repeato-qa Here's your problem 2022-10-19T09:10:35.5278660Z PANIC: Broken AVD system path. Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT value [/Users/runner/Library/Android/sdk]! for that last run

[mrk-han]

@repeato-qa Same with the above run:

 PANIC: Broken AVD system path. Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT value [/Users/runner/Library/Android/sdk]!
  INFO    | Android emulator version 31.3.12.0 (build_id 9126400) (CL:N/A)

  emulator: WARN: path_getAvdSystemPath: /Users/runner/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-29/default/x86/ is not a valid directory.

I think we need to check if there is variance on the macOS-12 agent with how the android tooling is set up, and also I'll check how we are calling to the SDK from this repo.

Can you do me a favor and tell me which version of Java you are using?

[stoefln]

@mrk-han I am not sure what you mean by version of Java. Isn't that all part of the github workflow?

[mrk-han]

@stoefln I don't think it's super relevant to your problem, but I think Flutter projects are on Java 11 now? Usually on native we have to set it if the default version is different than what comes with the runner.

Sorry, I'm not sure of the root cause of why your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT value isn't set right -- it might be worth filing an issue on the Github Runner page perhaps? Because your setup seems pretty standard.

[baconcheese113]

I believe I'm running into the same problem, except it boots up and then gets a device unauthorized error https://github.com/baconcheese113/handle-it-app/actions/runs/3636560917/jobs/6137293030

In your yml file there is : target: google_apis The log reports:

emulator: WARN: path_getAvdSystemPath: /Users/runner/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-29/default/x86/ is not a valid directory.

So maybe in your cache you have the image for "default" while you want to use google_api. Maybe that is the problem.

Does deleting your cache file fix the issue?

BTW, I think the cache should use in its "key" the APIbut also the targetand the arch. Apparently the cache doesn't make the distinction. I'm facing the same problem with a matrix setup in the job.

[arburk]

FYI: The caching issue still persists. I experienced same here: https://github.com/arburk/vscp/actions/runs/7776719404/job/21233496921 Disabling the cache works like charm: https://github.com/arburk/vscp/actions/runs/7790183588
