CHANGELOG.md

2.1.0

2019-05-05

Support Task Configuration Avoidance from Gradle 5. Thanks to this support, it is now zero overhead to add the Android Command Plugin. Plugin's tasks will not be eagerly configured unless they are explicitly run.

2.0.1

2018-03-21

Fixes a bug that lead to a NullPointerException when executing install and run tasks, see this issue. As a side-effect, deviceId can not be set via the new DSL. Set it within the command extension for now.

2.0

2018-01-30

New

• DSL support for main adb wrappers.
  • Currently supporting monkey, scripts (#121), demoMode (#125), install (#127) and start (#130) extensions.
  • More information can be found in https://github.com/novoda/gradle-android-command-plugin#configuration

Improvements

• Full documentation on public configuration on command extension #129
• Clean-up sample project #126

Deprecations

• task methods in the extension are deprecated. Instead use the provided and documented DSL's to configure custom tasks. With this change,
  • Generated tasks are more consistent
  • usage is nicer-looking thanks to Groovy DSL
• sortBySubtasks is deprecated and not used internally in the plugin.
  • Tasks are not categorized by variant or simply task names anymore.
  • Instead, each provided DSL has more meaningful category.

1.7.1

2017-01-31

• Fix a bug where system animation tasks output a non-actionable warning 6 times. #119

1.7.0

2017-01-11

• Fix a bug where installation error marked as a successful build. #104
• Fixed a bug that caused InstallTask to fail on Nougat devices. #110
• On Nougat devices, errors in adb shell commands will now cause the build to fail forwarding the error. #110
• Added a sample showing how to install APKs of all variants in one go. #109
• Monkey task configuration is adjusted to make more sense. #106

Breaking changes in Monkey configuration

Monkey task configuration is adjusted to make more sense. The following adjustments are needed if custom monkey configs are used.

This sample configuration

android {
    ...
    command {
        events 1000
        categories = ['android.intent.category.ONLY_ME']
    }
}

needs to be changed. There are 2 possible options:

• Wrap the parameters with a monkey closure. (Notice also that = after categories is not necessary anymore. Moreover, you now provide multiple categories as a comma separated list.)

android {
    ...
    command {
        monkey {
            events 1000
            categories 'android.intent.category.ONLY_ME'
        }
    }
}

• If you have a simple configuration, you can also prepend the fields with monkey.

android {
    ...
    command {
        monkey.events 1000
    }
}

• clearPreferences<Variant>
