Error 403 on subsequent Android VDT steps

Question & Answer Builds
1

Description of the issue

It seems that virtual-device-testing-for-android step can run only once for given build. Subsequent steps fail with Failed to start test: 403, error: {"error":"Build already exists"}

Environment:

Bitrise.io, Android (non-LTS) stack.

Which build Step causes the issue and which version of the step?

E.g.: virtual-device-testing-for-android v1.0.3

Reproducibility

  • _Does a “Rebuild” help? : NO
  • _Does a rebuild without caches help: NO
  • Does the issue happen sporadically, or every time? : Haven’t tried more than once.
  • Does upgrading the build Step to the latest version help? : NO
  • When did the issue start? : 2018.11.09 @ 17:52

Local reproduction

Can it be reproduced on your own Mac/PC by following our local debug guide? Please follow at least the first section (“Testing with a full clean git clone”) to make sure to test the state of the code what bitrise.io will get when it does a git clone in the clean environment! If possible please note which sections you tried.

N/A

Local reproduction: Linux / Android (docker based) stack builds

Can it be reproduced by running the build locally, after doing a new git clone of the repository into the /tmp directory and running the build from there with the Bitrise CLI ( https://www.bitrise.io/cli )? If no, can it be reproduced with Docker (using the same docker images / environment we use on bitrise.io)? Related guide: http://devcenter.bitrise.io/docker/run-your-build-locally-in-docker/ .

Build log

Please copy paste the build’s bitrise.io URL here (or if the issue happens somewhere else then the full logs), or if you can’t share the url / log here then send the url or full log through a private channel (e.g. email - https://www.bitrise.io/contact ), with a link to the related Discuss issue.

Thanks for the report @koral! We’ll look into this as soon as possible :slight_smile:

So, currently this isn’t actually an issue, it’s working as intended. VDT will send a build slug to firebase through which the build is created there, so two tests will never work in one flow due to them having the same build slug.

Although I understand why this might not be ideal, maybe it’s better to move the matter to a #feature-request? :thinking:

What do you think?

I understand the reason. However, shouldn’t this limitation be documented somewhere?

Feature request added: Allow multiple android VDT step invocations

That’s a very good point, I pinged our tech writer team to look into this!

Hi! I’m just letting you know that we documented this restriction to make sure users are aware of it. Thanks for your feedback!
