Add the ability to ignore activity from certain classes #358

Open samhann opened 7 years ago

samhann commented 7 years ago

I have an analytics SDK that turns itself on by default. Its hard to make it completely idle. Also there are a lot of processes going on in the background.

It would help if there was a regex that said ignore timer activity in these classes.

Hey Samhan, could you clarify a few things:

Its hard to make it completely idle

Are you referring to network activity?

It would help if there was a regex that said ignore timer activity in these classes.

As in NSTimer, cfrunlooptimer or gcd timer?

The analytics library itself is using an NSTimer to poll for something even though it doesn't always send something.

This can happen in various ways.

So a regex saying ... If the invocation is from class X or Y or Z ignore it would be useful.

Hey Samhan you could try adjusting GREYConfiguration value for kGREYConfigKeyNSTimerMaxTrackableInterval as a possible workaround.

see https://github.com/google/EarlGrey/blob/d9eb1bc9b25569ec2384a217c008a3cc68ea2c1f/EarlGrey/Common/GREYConfiguration.h#L71
