Maestro doesn't recognize an emulator even if 'adb devices' does

[Barbora827]

I've been setting up Maestro on two Windows computers. On one of them, it works perfectly, but I have an issue on the other.

I finished the whole setup process and it seemed to work perfectly fine, with adb devices showing emulator-5554. However, when I try to run maestro test <filename> in the project folder, it doesn't recognize the emulator. If I specify the device in the command, it says that there is no "emulator-5554" device connected. This happens no matter if the app is running on the emulator or not.

Perhaps it's related, but I also noticed that every time I close WSL or Powershell or restart the PC, I have to re-do this sequence of the setup:

On Powershell:

• adb kill-server
• adb -a -P 5037 nodaemon server

On WSL:

• adb kill-server
• export ADB_SERVER_SOCKET=tcp:<WINDOWS_IPV4_ADDR>:5037
• adb devices

I find this strange as this doesn't happen on the first computer - there this setup needed to be done only the first time. If I don't do this or quit Powershell and then run adb devices on WSL, it never outputs anything and gets stuck indefinitely.
