Even though Spoon provides GIFs for quick glance over test flows I found it useful to be able to record videos that capture the whole device screen. When investigating test flakiness caused by various Android system UI popup interruptions - videos help to diagnose the root cause quickly.
I have been running a variant of the proposed screen recorder on the instrumentation side using executeShellCommand successfully however I wanted something more reliable - something that is controlled by the host runner. It appeared to me that this multi segment
screenrecordcommand approach can be executed on the spoon-runner side so I thought why not try that!This PR adds an optional (disabled by default) video recording functionality that, when enabled, produces videos in the mp4 format that get attached to test reports. Since Android's
screenrecordcommand can record only up to 3 minutesScreenRecorderclass takes care of executing the command multiple times sequentially. If multiple video files are produced (long test case) they are pulled from the device and Google'sisoparserlibrary is used to combine all files into a single, continuous video.
