Hi I've been working for the past 3 to 4 days to try to get UI test working on my visual studio to no avail. I' think i've followed all the required steps to get this thing working and yet still not working. Below you'll see what i have done and my system information
- Currently on Windows 10 enterprise
- Using Visual Studio 2015 w/update 3
- with 8 Gb installed memory
- I have enabled and turn on Hyper V.
- I have installed the mobile and all xamarine related tools for Visual studio
- I"m using Visual studio android emulator
- I'm able to launch the VS emulator
- I create the project using the UI test cross platform
- I even installed the All related Android SDK
- I have an apk file that was given to me by the developers that i usually test on device but i wanted to test it UI automation
1 on visual studio emulator on this apk. - I have no problem installing it on the visual studio android emulator and interacting with it but cant do anything as far as
the repl or even use the recorder tool to do UI automation. - When I use the recorder tool, i'm getting a different error message from the first one that i think i resolved which is " Failed connecting to the app: The process cannot access the file 'C:Users......'
- When i do the Run all i'm gettin the error about name "cannot begin with the ":" character ....
My current error message that i'm getting after it builds and trying to do repl command to start automating a script is an error message that i saw on this forum and no one has answered. The error message is "SetUp : System.Xml.XmlException : Name cannot begin with the ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A." I dont know what i'm missing or where this is ':' character is at or how i can fix this error.
I'm somewhat frustrated that this is taking so long to get going. Am i missing something. Cant we test on our own apk, or is there some other step that i missed, as far as changed the project property?. I'm right now at my wits end. Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
