Option to create snapshots after first boot
In order to make Swarmer faster, it would be great if there was an option for creating snapshots on the initial boot. Maybe with an option like --create-snapshots
. The idea is to create a snapshot on the initial boot because the state is clean and then start emulators with -no-snapshot-save
so that we never override this clean snapshot. Snapshots should only be created if there is no existing snapshot.
You can manually create a snapshot from an emulator using these commands:
telnet 127.0.0.1 EMULATOR_PORT
auth AUTH_TOKEN // Content of $HOME/.emulator_console_auth_token
avd snapshot save default_boot
quit
This change only makes sense if avds are kept and not recreated (see #41 and #42).
Sounds good to me. Snapshot management is developing pretty actively, new 28.0.0 emulator even allows multiple snapshot instances at the same time.
