Remote ADB

[Comeodore]

Can anyone tell something about it? What is it? What is this for? How start adb in remote mode on node machine
If i can use adb for remote machines on hub machine thats will be perfect, as far as I understand, this is what it is intended for
Maybe give me more resources when i can read more info about it, because my research didn’t give me anything useful, they always talk about wireless adb as a “remote”

@saikrishna321
Thanks very much

@Comeodore This feature will be removed in future release as we have complete node and hub concept.

Can anyone tell something about it?

You need to boot the emulators or connect real devices in machine A and run command adb -a -P 5037 server nodaemon

From machine B where you start your server you can check the devices with command adb -P 5037 -H machineAIP devices

@saikrishna321 Are you planning to replace it with something that will automatically send adb commands to remote the machine from the hub?

[Comeodore]

@saikrishna321 Not a single word about adb, and how i can send ADB command through hub to node(

[saikrishna321]

Internally hud and node does all the needed to run test execution.

If you want to try using adbRemote host refer I have mentioned on how you can achieve it - #965 (comment)

Look, if I need to install an application on a phone that is attached to device-farm, how can I do it only through execute_script appium? Or are there any solutions other than adb remote which you are planning to remove

[saikrishna321]

Only adb remote will be removed

[Comeodore]

Only adb remote will be removed

I understand it, tell me please how u use adb commands, for maybe install app, delete or smth else through device farm, when appium session isnt started? Or u only start session and use execute script?
