Release note 1.4.1
Fix

• a bug in generate_tests that prevents it to be called when wrapped in other functions.
• a bug that exposed Mobly internal controller registry to tests.

New

• Support the new launch and connection mechanism in Snippet Lib 1.2.

Warning:
This release breaks AsyncRpc usage, so if you use AsyncRpc, skip to 1.4.2.

New

  Please switch to new one since we're deprecating the old one.
• Support creating test suites where each class has a different config.

• Launch MBS without package name with snippet_shell.py --mbs
• adb binary location can now be modified by test code.

Fixes

• Clear adb logcat cache before starting collection.
• Use default adb logcat buffer. if you need additional logcat buffers, set -b <buffer name> with adb_logcat_param in the config for AndroidDevice.
• Time out sooner when snippet server stops responding.

• Support running on Windows.
• Add support for creating test suites.
• Support UIAutomator in snippet.
• Fixes to adb commands to avoid double-quoting and fix cross-platform issues.
  • adb commands are now run without local shell. For commands with more than one argument, pass in a list of arguments instead of a string. Eg adb.logcat(“-c -v”) becomes adb.logcat([“-c”, “-v”]).
  • utils.start_standing_process run without local shell by default
  • utils.exe_cmd() removed. Use subprocess.check_output() instead.
