Troubleshooting- Video Recording

Example

public class VideoRecordingTests extends AndroidTest {
    @Test
    public void buttonClicked_When_CallClickMethod() {
        var button = app().create().byIdContaining(Button.class, "button");

        button.click();
    }
}

Explanations

If it is turned on the engine will capture video for every test and keep them in case the test failed.

Configuration

If you open the testFrameworkSettings.<env>.json file, you find the screenshot properties under androidSettings section that controls this behaviour.

"androidSettings": {
    "videosOnFailEnabled": "true",
    "videosSaveLocation": "user.home/BELLATRIX/Videos"
}

You can turn off the making of videos for all tests and specify where the videos to be saved. In the extensibility chapters read more about how you can create custom video recorder or change the saving strategy.
