Detox

Removed deprecated API use of AppleSimUtils.

Minor changes:

1. https://github.com/wix/Detox/pull/1428 — "Reimplemented SimulatorLogPlugin to use log stream"
   The new mechanism is based on:
   /usr/bin/xcrun simctl spawn ${udid} log stream --level debug --style compact --predicate '${predicate}

2. https://github.com/wix/Detox/pull/1433 — fix(artifacts): more precise log recording on iOS and Android

Other:

1. https://github.com/wix/Detox/pull/1431 — Cleanup: Remove residue of pre Xcode 9 simulator boot logic
2. https://github.com/wix/Detox/pull/1432 — Upgrade ws to 3.3.1 or later

Detox-Android code is now available as a precompiled package (i.e. an .aar) -- bundled into the npm package. This allows apps to configure it as an immediately available dependency, instead of a compiling one - which requires recompilation in every app build.

• Migration instructions are available here
• Fresh-installation instructions are available here

This release adds initial integration between Detox and Detox Instruments (#1165).

If you run Detox tests with --record-performance all, it will load or use the already loaded Profiler framework and call its APIs to record performance metrics for each test. The artifacts manager will put each test recording (.dtxrec) into an appropriate folder inside your artifacts location.

Also, the deprecation of "specs" property in package.json has been revoked - it continues to serve as a default test root directory (#1290).

More details can be found in the CHANGELOG.

Features

https://github.com/wix/Detox/pull/1281 - feat: --take-screenshot manual mode by default

Adds --take-screenshot manual mode, which is used by default from now on.

In manual mode, device.takeScreenshot is enabled as well, but beforeEach.png and afterEach.png screenshots are not being taken.

To have device.takeScreenshot API disabled forcibly, use --take-screenshot none.

Bugfixes

https://github.com/wix/Detox/pull/1276 - fix(android): install APK with a file path that needs escaping

Adds await device.takeScreenshot(name) method.

1. hotfix: redundant logs in the folder (#1268) - https://github.com/wix/Detox/commit/2dabadde35b486f79163d750c3fdcb1d0dd48937

   Prevents uncontrolled creation of detox_<pid>.log files in the current working directory, when using --record-logs and not specifying the location of the artifacts (which is an autogenerated artifacts/<configuration>_<timestamp> folder).

2. fix: stabilize simulator log recording (#1273) - https://github.com/wix/Detox/commit/65e1975c5164ee82658255f3ec9e44fdce412896

   Addresses sporadic hanging of a test runner due to a race condition caused by 3rd-party tail npm package: setTimeout (=> @watch()), 1000 . The tail object is apt to subscribe itself to FS events on the sly via creating a watcher (fs.watch()) even after fs.unwatch() has been called.

Fixed a crash in the previous release (#1240)

• Detox now disables test mode in React Native, which should fix various animations and other issues (#1234)
• New arguments infrastructure is included (#1109)

This release adds support for Xcode 10.2. Minimum version of Xcode is now Xcode 10.1. See #1202 for more information
