Hi,

Yes, I believe in this.

 

> i believe there is an issue on how the app is closed before each test.

Are you testing iOS or Android app?

I think that in the former case you are out of luck.

In the latter case you may add code that will kill tested app process. Like described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3117095/stopping-an-android-app-from-console, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17829606/android-adb-stop-application-command-like-force-stop-for-non-rooted-device/17829677.

E.g.:

Mobile.Device().ShellExecute("am kill <com.your.package>");

I used this line of code for Android

Mobile.Device().ShellExecute("am kill com.process.name ");

and the process is still running in the background when pressing HomeButton.

 

Do you know if I am missing something?

I even tried with force-stop.

    Hi,

     

    > "am kill com.process.name "

    Just to double-check: is 'com.process.name' a real internal name of your tested application?

    Any related messages in the test log?

      Mobile.Device().ShellExecute("pm clear com.process.name") this works on closing the app from the backgroundand also making a clean application. For the moment I would like only the application to close from the background if it's possible.

       

      On the other hand, at the next test run in the suite, the application is displaying the loading screen as it is started all over again. This is good.

       

      Mobile.Device().ShellExecute("am kill com.process.name") this just displays in the console The shell command was executed.

       

      Mobile.Device().ShellExecute("am force-stop com.process.name") this just displays in the console The shell command was executed.

       

      Yes, I used the name of the process of the application.

        hacka87:

        You marked the thread as resolved. Does this mean that 'am kill' works as expected and does what you need or you follow some other approach?
