"Wait for Devices" keyword is throwing WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied.

[srib4ufrnd]

We started runniing a simple test where we are trying to wait for android device and install an apk

The "wait for device" is thorwing the below error

unable to open socket to "localhost:50086" error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied. 

FYI the procedure and logs are as below.

Test Script we are running is:
*************************************************************************
*** Settings ***
Library           AndroidLibrary

*** Test Cases ***
Install
    Wait For Device
    Install Application    xxxxxxx.apk
*************************************************************************

Error We got in RIDE:

[peritus]

Could you run this again with -L TRACE ? I might be able to help you then.

hello peritus

Thanks for the reply. we ran RIDE with -L TRACE arguments passed to Pybot. The below is the error log.

Could you see if E:\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe exists and is executable ?

[srib4ufrnd]

ya, adb.exe exists and is executable.

one small observation is when we ran with CMD prompt in admin mode, we are not getting error for "wait for device" but we are getting error for Install application saying "Installing application failed: 1, '' " "

One more serious issue i feel is once we are using RIDE and the Robot Android library, i see so many adb.exe process running in task manager. This is a big issue i feel which is creating resource blocks e.t.c

[srib4ufrnd]

Peritus, strictly speaking there should be always one adb process to run right, running multiple adb.exe is not a safe way to communicate with the device.

We observed in the the Python files of robot android library, in Killableprocess.py -> def Popen(subprocess.Popen) in the condition if mswindows: def _execute_child(

The process kill and reopening is not happening as we expect. what do u feel?

[srib4ufrnd]

hello peritus some time the "install apllication" is throwing an error saying [Error 5] access denied.

But once i restart the machine, it seems working fine.

but after some executions i am getting the errors again and again

saying [Error 5] access denied And after that "Installing application failed: 1, '' " "

when i saw in task manager i saw multiple adb.exe processes running

i think some where subprocess.Popen is opening multiple adb.exe process without kiling the old adb.exe this will leading top problems while executin adb install comand internally i guess?

Hello peritus,

I read in the below link saying we need to install the test server seperatley, but i dont know where the test server is located.

https://groups.google.com/group/calabash-android/tree/browse_frm/month/2012-9/75c68e2f8ffb8116?rnum=321&start=250&_done=/group/calabash-android/browse_frm/month/2012-9?start%3D250%26sa%3DN%26&pli=1

after reading this i went to the location "C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\calabash-android-0.3.2\test-server" and tried building the test server using ant command " ant package" no i got the below error, so i cannot build the test server also, so that i can install the test server manually on device and run.

the error i got is? C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\calabash-android-0.3.2\test-server>ant packa ge Buildfile: C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\calabash-android-0.3.2\test-serve r\build.xml

i really did not undesratnd why it is aying the api level doesnot exist D:\Official\Projects\xxxxx\SupportSoftwares\Android\android_sdk_win dows\platforms\android-${android.api.level} does not exist.

i have all the folders with api levels satrting from 3 to 16(like android-3 to android -16) in the folder "D:\Official\Projects\xxxx\SupportSoftwares\Android\android_sdk_win dows\platforms"
