emulator can't recover from container restart

[dorsegal]

I am running using docker-compose.yaml and I have added restart: unless-stopped option so it will restart in case something happens. When there is a crash for whatever reason container is being restarted but emulator can't start. it is just hangs till timeout

my docker-compose:

But it looks like emulator didnt crash. It was fully booted according to you screenshot and moved to next step which is launching appium.

So i would ask you to remove the restart option and see how it will behave.

I was a simulating a crash right after appium was starting.

Try to run the command manually and see the output

The way I simulated a crash:

1. docker exec -it android bash
2. apt update && apt install -y procps
3. ps aux
4. kill -9 {emulator PID}

Try aslo to kill the adb server, before starting the emulator after being crashed

I found the issue. After checking emulator logs I see this error: Running multiple emulators with the same AVD is an experimental feature.

the solution I did was adding this line to start_emu_headless.sh: rm ~/.android/avd/*.avd/*.lock

Awesome Gald that you have solved it.

I think also killing adb server will eliminate the first one so you wont have problem running another with same name.
