Device Tests & Coverage Report
Only a subset of this library can be tested reasonably with unit tests. Mocking the serial converter chips would hardly represent their real behavior, so I decided to use tests on real devices where the device is connected to:
- Android executing Android instrumented tests
- Windows/Linux host with a real serial port running a RFC-2217 server
The instrumented test uses the RFC-2217 server to control the other end of the serial line over Wi-Fi.
By default the USB port is used for ADB debugging, but ADB can also use Wi-Fi. To enable Wi-Fi you have to enable it in Android Settings -> Developer options, connect with USB ADB and enable Wi-Fi with adb tcpip 5555, see more details here.
You need python + pyserial 3.4 which includes a rfc2217_server.py. You can install pyserial with pip install serial
On Linux the rfc2217_server.py is typically available in usr/share/doc/python-serial/examples. On Windows you have to take it from github.
On a Raspi 3 you have to configure the PL011-UART instead of the mini-UART for the GPIO pins, by using disable-bt or miniuart-bt overlay.
Before executing the test, start the rfc2217 server with: python rfc2217_server.py -v com-port
To see all data apply this patch and use -v -v option.
Over the time I collected various serial breakout boards, but each device comes with a different pin assignment, so I created my own and soldered mini adapters vor every device.
My pin assignment is:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GND | TxD | Rxd | n.c. | +5V |
+5V is connected at all serial devices to provide power to other devices that are not self powered.
The Raspi needs a level shifter because it is not 5V tolerant. I used a 74HC21 which is not the most commonly used level shifter, but that's what I found over the weekend in my parts collection. +5V is not connected as the Raspi as it is self powered.
The Arduino Pro Micro has to be programmed with arduino_leonardo_bridge.ino
- Start
rfc2217_server.pyon your Windows/Linux host - Configure the ip address of your rfc2217 server host in
usbSerialForAndroid/build.gradle -> testInstrumentationRunnerArguments -> rfc2217_server_host. Depending on the host type enable/disable the othertestInstrumentationRunnerArguments. - Connect your device
- Start
DeviceTest - When requested, confirm USB permission dialog on your Android device
Tests are sometimes flaky, as they depend on real hardware, which can have varying performance or some data left in receive buffers from previous failing tests. Retrying multiple times, re-attaching the serial device or restarting the rfc2217_server.py typically helps. Else try increasing the timeouts in DeviceTest.java.
Enable apply from: 'coverage.gradle' in usbSerialForAndroid/build.gradle.
Remove previous test results with gradle clean or Android Studio : Menu -> Build -> Clean Project
Run usb-serial-for-android -> usbSerialForAndroid -> verification -> testAnyDeviceDebugUnitTest
For each device flavor defined in coverage.gradle execute the corresponding gradle task
usb-serial-for-android -> usbSerialForAndroid -> verification -> createDeviceDebugCoverageReport or
usb-serial-for-android -> usbSerialForAndroid -> other -> createDeviceDebugAndroidTestCoverageReport.
Both tasks create the required *.ec and *.xml report files but html reports do not contain annotated source code.
If the tasks are not shown, you may have to enable full task creation with File -> Settings -> Experimental -> Configure all Gradle tasks during Gradle Sync.
Test reports are created even if tests fail. Nevertheless you should check that it didn't fail completely.
Create summary usbSerialForAndroid/build/reports/jacoco/jacocoTestReport/jacocoTestReport.xml report with gradle task usb-serial-for-android -> usbSerialForAndroid -> other -> jacocoTestReport.
This also creates a html folder with annotated source code.
Upload coverage reports to codecov.io using the uploader program. On Windows execute in command prompt (cmd.exe), e.g.
cd c:\work\AndroidStudioProjects\usb-serial-for-android
..\codecov.exe -t <codecov-token>
