Failed to start emulator

[noloman]

Hi,

First of all, THANKS A LOT for creating this Github Action. I'm using it like:

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: set up JDK 1.8
      uses: actions/setup-java@v1
      with:
        java-version: 1.8
    - name: Build with Gradle
      run: ./gradlew build --stacktrace
    - name: Run Unit tests
      run: ./gradlew testDebugUnitTest
    - name: Run UI Tests
      uses: "vgaidarji/android-github-actions/emulator@v1.0.0"

but I'm getting this error:

Waiting for emulator to start
Emulator is ready
Android Emulator started after 184 seconds.

ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java/8.0.222/x64

Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
location of your Java installation.

##[error]Docker run failed with exit code 1

@noloman hey. are you working on an open source project? if yes, could you please share a link to repository and failed actions build?

JAVA_HOME is set here https://github.com/vgaidarji/docker-android/blob/570d8f3aacd6af72b817254d08c99cd5bae57636/docker-android-build/Dockerfile#L5-L6 Not sure yet why it tells you that it is set to invalid directory /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java/8.0.222/x64.

Hi, I'm using it in https://github.com/noloman/MoneyTransactions. Maybe it's because I'm setting it up wrong?

[vgaidarji]

@noloman I would advise you to get rid of set up JDK 1.8 step which actions/setup-java@v1 https://github.com/noloman/MoneyTransactions/blob/a296219512e96d68d9ddc57065d9d9f1ae5afe99/.github/workflows/android.yml#L15

And then use another action for running other Gradle tasks

    - name: Build with Gradle
      run: ./gradlew build --stacktrace
      uses: vgaidarji/android-github-actions/build@v1.0.0

Here's sample workflow I used to showcase GitHub Actions for Android project configuration - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vgaidarji/ci-matters/master/.github/main.workflow.

I am facing the same issue,

ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java/8.0.232/x64

Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
location of your Java installation.

Whole CI tasks and Android build works fine, but the moment I add the emulator it stopped working.

Hey, I faced the same issue and tried to go with your workaround (replacing the jdk8-setup with your build step). This is my yml-file:

  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: "Build"
      uses: vgaidarji/android-github-actions/build@v1.0.0
    - name: "Run UI Tests"
      uses: vgaidarji/android-github-actions-emulator@v1.0.1

Running the UI Tests fails:

/usr/bin/docker run --name d34243f0f986dd4a1c85843aeaf21cb61c_f345ca --label 3888d3 --workdir /github/workspace --rm -e HOME -e GITHUB_JOB -e GITHUB_REF -e GITHUB_SHA -e GITHUB_REPOSITORY -e GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER -e GITHUB_RUN_ID -e GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER -e GITHUB_ACTOR -e GITHUB_WORKFLOW -e GITHUB_HEAD_REF -e GITHUB_BASE_REF -e GITHUB_EVENT_NAME -e GITHUB_WORKSPACE -e GITHUB_ACTION -e GITHUB_EVENT_PATH -e RUNNER_OS -e RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE -e RUNNER_TEMP -e RUNNER_WORKSPACE -e ACTIONS_RUNTIME_URL -e ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN -e ACTIONS_CACHE_URL -e GITHUB_ACTIONS=true -e CI=true -v "/var/run/docker.sock":"/var/run/docker.sock" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_home":"/github/home" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_workflow":"/github/workflow" -v "/home/runner/work/LazyAss/LazyAss":"/github/workspace" 3888d3:4243f0f986dd4a1c85843aeaf21cb61c

@belafarinrod hey. The issue you're facing has no resolution yet and is tracked under https://github.com/vgaidarji/docker-android/issues/11. You could try using alternative action in the meantime which uses mac-os runner instead of ubuntu where emulator is working. I did the same in here. Until https://github.com/google/android-emulator-container-scripts/issues/21 is solved, Android emulator action on Ubuntu won't work.
