Question & Answer Builds

Hi.
I’m trying to run android build with UI tests.
I cannot make the build start the emulator.
I’m getting “Issue with APIBaseURL: parameter not specified”
What is APIBaseURL ? where should it be set up ?

Hi @snpori,

Sorry for the delay.

Did you enable Virtual Device Testing for this app? https://blog.bitrise.io/introducing-solid-and-snappy-virtual-device-testing-for-android

If you enable that feature (Virtual Device Testing on the Settings tab of the app) that will specify this API URL.

Thanks for your help.
I added the virtual device in the settings however that lead me to another error:
“Issue with ApkPath: parameter not specified”

I’m sorry for having to go baby steps with this however it’s not always clear what are those variables and where are they defined in bitrise;s workflow.

Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same issue (“Issue with APIBaseURL: parameter not specified”) if Im running the virtual device tests locally on my mac with bitrise cli. Is this build step designed to run on cli?

Thx, Alex

Hi @alexknauf !

No, sadly you can’t use the “Virtual Device Testing” step on CLI only in Bitrise.
The step.yml should have the "run_if: ".IsCI" flag but it doesn’t have.

I have created a ticket for the tooling team to add it to the step.yml
