Android SDK with Ansible

Android SDK configuration on linux with Android L emulator configured optionally. Note that this Ansible script works on both Debian and RedHat linux distros.

Prerequisite

To use this script, make sure you have Cucumber CLI installed and of course, Ansible :)

Configuration

Config Files

features/support/env.rb.default
playbooks/vars.yml

To begin, open the two configuration files above. Remove the extension .default from the env.rb file above so that the config files become:

features/support/env.rb
playbooks/hosts.ini

Open the env.rb file and enter your preferred commands to check that the server is running and provision the server. Also enter path to your inventory file. A sample of an inventory file is found in playbooks/hosts.ini.default.

Below is an example of the env.rb file configuration. Note: The constants in env.rb should not be deleted. However, they can have empty strings as values (for instance, if you do not need an ssh key to get into your server).

# Server check command
RUNNING_SERVER_CHECK = "ping -c2 server.example.com"

# Server provision command (This can be a ping command as well)
SERVER_PROVISION_COMMAND = "ssh user@server.example.com './warmup.sh'"

# Path to hosts inventory file
HOSTS_INVENTORY_FILE = "playbooks/hosts.ini"

# Path to private key
PRIVATE_KEY = "/home/user/.ssh/private_key"

Next, open playbooks/vars.yml file and enter your desired variables. The hosts variable should be the hosts from your configured playbooks/hosts.ini or default ansible inventory file. The user variable should be the ssh username.

You can configure the remaining variables using your preferred version for all the tools and software.

Running

After the setup is complete, run $ cucumber features/setup.feature from the project root directory and that's it!
