Maestro in GitHub Action times out "Maestro Android driver did not start up in time"

[latorante]

Hey hey,

I've got a GitHub Action, which runs on macos-12 and starts up an emulator to run tests on. The Action fails to start and ends up with this error:

java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Maestro Android driver did not start up in time

I have noticed others already mentioned this, and there was a PR updating the timeout to 15 seconds (here: https://github.com/mobile-dev-inc/maestro/blob/main/maestro-client/src/main/java/maestro/drivers/AndroidDriver.kt#L781) but is there a way to pass this down as a ENV Variable possibly?

That way I could see if the issue is the wait time, or perhaps something else?

This is how the action looks like - Java and emulator runner.

    - name: Set up JDK
      uses: actions/setup-java@v3
      with:
        java-version: 11

@latorante Right now there isn't a way to customize the wait time, but if you want to contribute to Maestro, please feel free to open a PR and drive the solution.

we tried to use macos-12 and this configuration of runners too slow and tests are failing flaky :(

Try to use macos-12-xl instead https://github.blog/2023-03-01-github-actions-introducing-faster-github-hosted-x64-macos-runners/

Thanks @felipevolpone and @retyui . I will consider those options!

@theinterlocker7 did it work?

If you have access to large github runners, try ubuntu 4core and install KVM.
