My current config:

      - name: Prepare instrumentation
        uses: reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2
        with:
          api-level: ${{ matrix.api-level }}
          force-avd-creation: false
          emulator-options: -no-snapshot-save -no-window -gpu swiftshader_indirect -noaudio -no-boot-anim -camera-back none
          disable-animations: true
      - name: Instrumentation tests
        uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
        with:
          arguments: connectedDebugAndroidTest

Replaced script: ./gradlew connectedDebugAndroidTest with executing connectedDebugAndroidTest by gradle/gradle-build-action, but error thrown:

Error: Input required and not supplied: script

How can I use this action with gradle/gradle-build-action?
Can reproduce this issue in Goooler/DemoApp/pull/39.

The emulator process is only available when the action is running, so you have to run your tests in the script block.

You can try to add uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2 without any arguments before reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2.

If no arguments are provided, the action will not execute Gradle, but will still cache Gradle state and configure build-scan capture for all subsequent Gradle executions.

I've also cached the AVD as your recommendation in README, change the config to below can make AVD cache work?

steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          distribution: 'zulu'
          java-version: 17
      - uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
        id: avd-cache
      - name: Create AVD and generate snapshot for caching
        if: steps.avd-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
        uses: reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2
        with:
          api-level: ${{ matrix.api-level }}
          force-avd-creation: false
          emulator-options: -no-window -gpu swiftshader_indirect -noaudio -no-boot-anim -camera-back none
          disable-animations: false
          script: echo "Generated AVD snapshot for caching."
      - name: Instrumentation tests
        uses: reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2
        with:
          api-level: ${{ matrix.api-level }}
          force-avd-creation: false
          emulator-options: -no-snapshot-save -no-window -gpu swiftshader_indirect -noaudio -no-boot-anim -camera-back none
          disable-animations: true
          script: ./gradlew connectedDebugAndroidTest

Seems it's not the workable path of Gradle, may need to still use actions/cache?

ychescale9 commented

Yes you still need to use gradle/cache to cache avd. gradle-build-action doesn't know anything about avd.

Goooler commented

Thanks, gradle-build-action is really so fast! Should we note this issue in README?

Yeah we can update the 3rd snippet. Feel free to send a pr:)
