Timeout issues on CI

[DanielMSchmidt]

Description

I wanted to E2E test my project and created a new react-native init generated project with a very simple test. Running this locally worked, on CI the tests seem to be hanging.

Steps to Reproduce

I am not exactly sure what exactly lead to this problem, but my test config looks like this.
My travis config is a matrix one because I want to support web and native and looks quite similar to the one in detox.

Detox, Node, Device, Xcode and macOS Versions

• Detox: 5.9.1

• Node: 8.7

• Device: Travis

• Xcode: 9

• macOS: Travis

• react-native: 0.49.3

Device and verbose Detox logs

The complete logs are on Travis, but the main error looks like this:

detox info 08:34:45: server listening on localhost:53196...

detox info 1: Searching for device matching iPhone 7... 

detox info 5: Booting device 5BABCDC9-5EAF-4E60-96C0-F78309091348

This is a change introduced in Detox 5.7.0. In order to support apps with Swift we had to compile Detox.framework on the same machine that compiles the app. This is an extra step that runs in detox.init() and compiles the framework to ~/Library/Detox/ios/{versionHash}.

Clearly is was not a good idea to compile it during the first test setup (which will always happen in newly bootstrapped VMs, such as Travis build agents).

I am working on a fix, moving the framework compilation to a postinstall script.
In the meantime, just increase the timeout, I'll update when the fix is published.

Hang tight.

@rotemmiz I'm having the same issue what do you mean by "just increase the timeout"

[DanielMSchmidt]

@rotemmiz Which version includes this fix? Is there a release yet?

[rotemmiz]

@DanielMSchmidt it was merged after build passed, but master fails now, I'll make sure it passes before releasing.

@DanielMSchmidt , 5.9.3 is out
