Failing tests (FrameBuffer.cpp: Failed to find ColorBuffer)

[asteele0]

I'm trying to get our instrumentation tests running using this action. So far it looks like the emulator is starting up correctly, but when the tests start, they all fail.

The tests do pass on my local computer, when running the emulator in headless mode.

Action console output

I do realize that since there are so many moving pieces, this may not be a problem with your runner, but I figured it was worth asking.

Same's happening to me. Tests run fine locally but not on the CI.

Same for me

FWIW, we see these logs in our CI runs but they don't seem to be the source of test failures, with that typically being unrelated (e.g., tests not being written to work with smaller screen sizes, while our local devices/emulators have large screens).

Any updates on this issue?
I have the same problem.

[Nmk78]

I've got this error too, AVD started up and I can see the device frame with gray screen when I hover over the icon on the taskbar but the actual window doesn't show up! Does anyone know the answer for this Issue?

You can try this solution https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/43320. It works for me
