Quick guide
Requirements
- A good PC (Potato PC may have problems running the emulator correctly)
- Python installed and added to PATH (is highly recommended 3.7.6 64bit version only)
- Latest ADB added to PATH.
- I don't know how to add to PATH
- The use of a virtual environment (venv) in python is highly recommended
- ADB debugging enabled and emulator with 1280x720 resolution
- Read the entire guide before asking any questions.
How to create e python virtual environment
-
First install Python
-
Create a folder where you will put the virtual environment, I recommend creating a folder
venv
in the project's root directory -
Go to project root in command line
-
type
python -m venv path_to_your_folder\venv
You can see that now python has created some folders and files in the venv folder, it has created a completely clean virtual environment, thus preventing any conflicts.
-
Now, it is necessary to activate the virtual environment in command line, go to project root (the same where you have the file alas.py) and type
.\venv\scripts\activate.bat
Look that a
(venv)
, with that we know that we are in a virtual environment.If you type
pip list
should get this output:Now, you can proceed with the installation of the requirements through
pip install -r requirements.txt
Installation
-
Clone this repository
-
Install the requirements.txt (
pip install -r requirements.txt
) -
Install an android emulator (Tested on BlueStacks)
-
The android emulator resolution must be set to
1280x720
-
Test if the ADB is working correctly
adb devices
The output must be something like this
Test if your Python is working correctly
python --version
-
Install uiautomator2
uiautomator2, is an automated test library that can speed up screenshots and clicks. You can also use ADB to perform screenshots and clicks, but it is a slower way.
For performance optimization, it is recommended to use ADB screenshots, uiautomat2 screenshot slightly faster than adb screenshot, but cpu consumption double.
-
Perform
python -m uiautomator2 init
The output must be something like this:
-
Check if uiautomator2 was installed successfully
Modify the serial
in \dev_tools\emulator_test.py line 31 and, execute from root project directory (the same where you have the file alas.py)
python -m dev_tools.emulator_test
The output must be something like this:
The default serial
for some emulators:
Android Emulator | serial |
---|---|
NoxPlayer | 127.0.0.1:62001 |
MuMuPlayer | 127.0.0.1:7555 |
Bluestacks | 127.0.0.1:5555 |
LDPlayer | emulator-5554 |
You can check a new app installed in your emulator:
If you open up can check if are running:
If are not running, you cannot use U2 and will get error.
How to use Use
Double-click alas.pyw to run via graphical interface (GUI), If dont work you can double-click alas.bat or type py alas_en.pyw
from command line to open the GUI
Multi-usage: copy alas.pyw, and rename, double-click run on it. The settings of template.ini are copied when the first run runs. The script runtime uses the ini profile of the same name.
