Is it possible to connect to adb server running remotely? #71

Closed abhagupta closed 7 years ago

abhagupta commented 7 years ago

I have a mac-mini which is connected to couple of android devices. I am trying to run connect to the adb server running on this machine, so that I can run some tests on the devices using my local machine. Which means, I should be SSHing to the adb server running on MAC mini. I tried creating SSH tunnel and I could successfully do that.

Now I want to try the same thing with adbkit. I see that while creating client, there is an options object which has a host key. It obviously needs a SSH tunnel to access the host.... I am kinda lost here. Anyone has any ideas?

Use environment variables to set them. I can't read the source code right now but I believe you can use ADB_HOST and ADB_PORT. Try to look into those.

Note that not all functionality may work as you expect (e.g. port forwarding).

Please always define “it doesn’t work.” Are you getting an error? How do you know it’s not working? What should have happened, and what happened instead?

One thing I can think of is that when a device is added, it might not be usable immediately. Sometimes a device can appear in “offline” state and only become a “device” a bit later.

Seems this issue is no longer relevant.
