Random failure due to tests not getting executed after couple of hours

[kvmw]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the action issue or my APK is causing it. I'm not able to simulate the issue locally with emulator or real device though.

The issue: Sometimes the workflow (github action) is stuck during test execution forever (3, 4 hours until timeout). This is not a constant behaviour. 1 out of every 3-5 execution is running to this issue.

Is there a way to extract some logs ( logcat or something) from the workflow execution to trace the issue?

screenshot: a successful execution takes only about 10 mins but as you see in the screenshot, 60 mins is passed without any output.

If you cancel the workflow, what do you see in the log?

almost nothing. here is the sample log after cancelation:

Task :app:connectedQaDebugAndroidTest
Starting 30 tests on test(AVD) - 9
Error: The operation was canceled.

I think I've seen this a few times recently.

I doubt there's much we can do here but you can try to print the logs to the console.

script: |
  adb logcat -c
  adb logcat *:E &
  ./gradlew connectedQaDebugAndroidTest

It's possible that there are regressions in the emulator binary or system images as there's no official way to ping to a particular version of these and we are always using the latest stable version.

Removing sdcard-path-or-size fixes the issue in my case.

Isn't this a bug? That would just be a work around.
