Sync Issues if Native Modules with Network connection are used

[K-Leon]

I noticed that test won't get started, if there are Backgroundmodules which create a Network Connection like react-native-socketio.

The whole Testingsystem seems to wait until this (permanent) Connection is done. Any possibility to handle this with a custom callback or exclude / ignore filter to handle domains that shouldn't affect ready state?

The Result ist a global timeout.

Yes, this is synchronization mechanism of EarlGrey, and it's API supports exclusion of certain endpoints. We have plans to expose it via Detox API soon.

Actually, it's a really simple feature which we will happily accept as a PR if someone gets to it before we do.

@rotemmiz Has this been implemented yet? I don't remember.

Yes, it's there for quite some time now
