RESET_BETWEEN_SCENARIOS flag does not work

[nemesis]

Hello everyone, and first of all thank you for all the work you've put into this project.

I've tried launching cucumber with the RESET_BETWEEN_SCENARIOS=1 environment variable, but it clearly does not reset the device between scenarios.
I would like to know if there is anything I can do about it.

Also, as a workaround - is there a possibility to call set_user_pref within a scenario hook? I've tried including the Calabash::Cucumber::Operations module but the method names seem to be clashing with other ones, thus, stopping the execution. (tap is an example)

Thanks

does not reset the device between scenarios.

You mention device. Did you mean simulator?

Resetting between scenarios is only available on the simulator.

[nemesis]

@jmoody Yes, I mentioned the simulator. For now I have actually written a shell script that deletes the NSUserDefaults file.

Can anyone suggest a version of Calabash where resetting works or can provide a real workaround?

Unfortunately there's little point for me using this framework if I can't reset the application state between tests.

I still have not been able to reproduce this locally. I am on vacation until June 27th. I've marked this a bug that needs attention.

Maybe someone can reproduce and submit a fix before then?

[jmoody]

Sorry for the delay. I have been on vacation.

I have verified that the application content and settings are deleted when RESET_BETWEEN_SCENARIOS is set.

I think the problem is one of semantics and expectations.

@nemesis , @jarrodrobins

I think what you really want is the for the iOS Simulator Content and Settings to be reset.

Is this the case? You want the simulator to be reset?

If so, then call: reset_simulator_content_and_settings - this will simulate touching the iOS Simulator Menu Item.

I can see how this is confusing - the variable name matches a Menu Item in the iOS Simulator.

See this SO post for an example of how to reset either the application or the simulator.

In the course of investigating, I noticed some obvious bugs in the reset_app_jail implementation and some missing behaviors in the Calabash::Cucumber::Launcher class.

I will be submitting a pull request to address these.

UPDATE: I found a significant bug in reset_app_jail (now reset_app_sandbox): only apps with the latest SDK are reset. Working on a fix.

Fixed in 0.10.0.
