Device farm not recording videos

[d4v1dk0n7]

Hi team,

The latest version of device farm is not storing the videos when the capability is added as true:

df:recordVideo = true

1. Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: latest
2. Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): latest
3. Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): latest
4. Npm or Yarn package manager: latest
5. Mobile platform/version under test: uiautomator2
6. Real device or emulator/simulator: emulator
7. Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Hi @d4v1dk0n7
Can you give detail. I tried it is working fine. Can you send your capabilities and send full server log please..

[d4v1dk0n7]

Hi, here you have the capabilities:

        AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
        Dictionary<string, object> options = new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            { "automationName", AutomationName.AndroidUIAutomator2 },
            { "app", appPath },
            { "autoGrantPermissions", true },
            { "enforceAppInstall", true },
            { "recreateChromeDriverSessions", true },
            { "newCommandTimeout", Timeouts.NewCommandTimeOut.TotalSeconds },
            { "androidInstallTimeout", Timeouts.AppInstallTimeOut.TotalMilliseconds },
            { "uiautomator2ServerInstallTimeout", Timeouts.AppInstallTimeOut.TotalMilliseconds },

            //Device farm capabilities
            { "df:recordVideo", true }
        };

        capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("appium:options", options);

And the complete logs:

In the logs I can see this, maybe this is the cause of the issue...

Hi @d4v1dk0n7,

Can you try it below capabilities ?

`AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();

capabilities.PlatformName = "Android";
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("automationName", "UIAutomator2");
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("app", appPath);
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("autoGrantPermissions", true);
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("enforceAppInstall", true);
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("recreateChromeDriverSessions", true);
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("newCommandTimeout", Timeouts.NewCommandTimeOut.TotalSeconds);
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("androidInstallTimeout", Timeouts.AppInstallTimeOut.TotalMilliseconds);
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("uiautomator2ServerInstallTimeout", Timeouts.AppInstallTimeOut.TotalMilliseconds);
capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("df:recordVideo", true);
`

Hi @erdncyz,

Ok.. But I don't see anything wrong in my capabilities...
So... What I have to do then?

These are the versions of appium components:

appium server: 2.11.4
uiautomator2 driver: 3.8.0
device farm plugin: 9.2.11

Are you also working with latest versions as me?

[erdncyz]

Hi @d4v1dk0n7,

Yes, I am using the latest version, you can use the appium inspector df:recordVideo: true
When you do it, can you create a session and try to see if it records while browsing?

Like these:

Hi @dudi86

Did you try my last comment ?

[luprochazka-cen63872]

Can you check it? I see the issue too. Live video is OK, but record is missing. I tried RobotFramework and Appium Inspector, same result.

{ "platformName": "Android", "appium:automationName": "UIAutomator2", "appium:udid": "emulator-5554", "df:liveVideo": true, "df:recordVideo": true, "df:saveDeviceLogs": false, "df:skipReport": false }
