dryrun

Try any android library on your smartphone directly from the command line

A dry run is a testing process where the effects of a possible failure are intentionally mitigated. For example, an aerospace company may conduct a "dry run" test of a jet's new pilot ejection seat while the jet is parked on the ground, rather than while it is in flight.

Usage

dryrun https://github.com/cesarferreira/android-helloworld

Wait a few seconds... and voilà! The app is opened on your phone 😃

Advanced usage

• From a custom repository folder:

dryrun REPOSITORY_URL -p CUSTOM/PATH/TO/GRADLE_APPLICATION

• A custom module:

dryrun REPOSITORY_URL -m CUSTOM_APPLICATION_MODULE

• Help at any time:

dryrun -h

Goodies

• Private repos can be tested too 😃

  • assuming that you have the corresponding private ssh keys in your ~./ssh/

  • $ dryrun [email protected]:cesarferreira/android-helloworld.git

• No need to cleanup after you test the library.

  • Your operating system will clean the /tmp/ folder for you.

• No need to wait for Android Studio to load.
