calabash: how to reset app for specific scenarios using cucumber

RESET_BETWEEN_SCENARIOS

$ RESET_BETWEEN_SCENARIOS=1 calabash-android run <apkfile>

if the value is set to 1 application is reset between each scenario, incase you have logged in then you will logged out as application data will be cleared, used it if its only neccessary.

• lets looks at https://github.com/calabash/x-platform-example/blob/master/features/android/support/app_life_cycle_hooks.rb

This is run before feature files are run

Android

Before do |scenario|

  scenario_tags = scenario.source_tag_names

  if scenario_tags.include?('@reinstall') || !INSTALLATION_STATE[:installed]

      uninstall_apps

      install_app(ENV['TEST_APP_PATH'])

      install_app(ENV['APP_PATH'])

      INSTALLATION_STATE[:installed] = true

  end

  start_test_server_in_background

end

To reset or reinstall for only specific scenarios, tag them with @reinstall only those scenarios ill be reset

if its required to only reset app then use clear_app_data in place of uninstall , install apps command

scenario_tags = scenario.source_tag_names



    if scenario_tags.include?('@reset')


      clear_app_data

    end

for ios use this code 

Before do |scenario|

  initialize_all

  @calabash_launcher = Calabash::Cucumber::Launcher.new

  scenario_tags = scenario.source_tag_names

  if scenario_tags.include?('@reset')

    @calabash_launcher.reset_app_jail

  end




  unless @calabash_launcher.calabash_no_launch?

    @calabash_launcher.relaunch

    @calabash_launcher.calabash_notify(self)

  end

end
