appium-instruments

Wrapper module around iOS Instruments and instruments-without-delay.

The module exports two objects: Instruments (default) and utils.

utils

Exposes a number of helper functions.

rootDir

• The base of the package, wherever it is installed

killAllInstruments

• Kill all Instruments processes currently running.

cleanAllTraces

• Delete all the trace directories that the system knows of.

getInstrumentsPath

• Retrieve the path to the Instruments binary.

getAvailableDevices

• Retrieve a list of the devices that Instruments supports.

parseLaunchTimeout

• Get the launchTimeout into a standard state. If it is a String it is parsed as JSON. If it is a number, or if the parsed version is a number, it is added to an object as global (so that the result is {global: launchTimeout}).

getIwdPath

• Retrieves the path to the instruments-without-delay binary.

quickLaunch

• Launches an instruments test with a default test that immediately passes. In this way we can start a simulator and be notified when it completely launches.

quickInstruments

• Factory for making an Instruments object with sane defaults.

Instruments

This is the main class, exported as default, for the package. Through this class programs can interact with Apple's Instruments program.

The class has one static class method:

quickInstruments

• Factory for making an Instruments object with sane defaults.

And a number of object methods:

constructor

• args - opts - an object with values to be set on the newly created object.
  • app
  • termTimeout - defaults to 5000
  • flakeyRetries - defaults to 0
  • udid
  • bootstrap
  • template
  • withoutDelay
  • processArguments
  • simulatorSdkAndDevice
  • tmpDir - defaults to /tmp/appium-instruments
  • traceDir
  • launchTimeout - defaults to 90000
  • webSocket
  • instrumentsPath

launchOnce - async

• Launch Instruments without any retries.

launch - async

• Launch Instruments up to flakeyRetries (specified in constructor) times.

spawnInstruments - async

• Actually launch the Instruments process.

shutdown - async

• Cleanly shutdown the currently running Instruments process.
