Running Android emulator from Jenkins to run Junit test with Robotium

Question

How can I run Android emulator from Jenkins to run my tests? When I write in Execiute Windows bath comand, command to run emulator:

emulator -avd Tester

and run my tests I have this errors:

..>emulator -avd Tester 'emulator' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

..>exit 9009 Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure

I set path for Android_SDK, java in Windows path and it works from cmd. What should I do to run emulator?

Answer 1

You can automate the process with the Android Emulator Plugin for Jenkins.

Answer 2

You just need to find where the file "emulator.exe" is located, and then run the command in that location. For example, the most probably is that it is located in C:...android-sdk\tools

so, go to the command promt, type cd C:\android-sdk\tools. Then type the command, and it will work just fine. I hope this is the answer even though it´s late. So, accept the answer.
