To run modules from the command line, you need to modify the startup behavior of Fuchsia to prevent device_runner and Armadillo from starting by default. Use fset and rebuild as shown below:
fx set x86-64 --packages peridot/packages/boot_test_modular fx full-build
(If fx is not in your PATH, you should add .jiri_root/bin to your PATH.)
You can start the basic test application like this.
device_runner --account_provider=dev_token_manager \ --device_shell=dev_device_shell --user_shell=test_user_shell \ --story_shell=dev_story_shell
A single application can be run using dev_user_shell. For example, to run example_flutter_counter_parent_story_shell, use this command:
device_runner --account_provider=dev_token_manager \ --device_shell=dev_device_shell --user_shell=dev_user_shell \ --user_shell_args='--root_module=example_flutter_counter_parent_story_shell' \ --story_shell=dev_story_shell
dev_device_shell is used to log in a dummy user directly without going through an authentication dialog. test_user_shell runs the test.
Note: if you are running this through netruncmd or fssh you will need to double-escape the quotes:
netruncmd : "device_runner --account_provider=dev_token_manager \ --device_shell=dev_device_shell --user_shell=dev_user_shell \ --user_shell_args='--root_module=example_flutter_counter_parent_story_shell,--root_link={\\\"http://schema.domokit.org/counter\\\":5}' \ --story_shell=dev_story_shell" fssh "$($FUCHSIA_OUT_DIR/build-zircon/tools/netaddr --fuchsia :)" \ "device_runner --device_shell=dev_device_shell --user_shell=dev_user_shell \ --user_shell_args='--root_module=example_flutter_counter_parent_story_shell,--root_link={\\\"http://schema.domokit.org/counter\\\":5}' \ --story_shell=dev_story_shell"
The flags --user_shell and --user_shell_args are read by device_runner. The value of --user_shell is the application that is run as the user shell. The value of --user_shell_args is a comma separated list of arguments passed to the user shell application. In this example, these arguments are in turn more flags. Commas inside the value of such arguments are escaped by backslashes. The value of --root_module selects the module to run. The value of --root_link is a JSON representation of the initial data the module is started with.
The user name provided by dev_device_shell can be set with --user. It is used by device_runner when opening the Ledger. However, the --user parameter does not work for userpicker_device_shell:
device_runner --account_provider=dev_token_manager \ --device_shell=dev_device_shell --device_shell_args=--user=dummy_user \ --user_shell=test_user_shell --story_shell=dev_story_shell
Applications are generally referenced by URLs. If the application binary is in a location where application manager expects it (e.g., /system/bin) the URL can be relative. Otherwise, the URL should be relative with an absolute path, or absolute altogether. For example (from test runner invocation):
device_runner --account_provider=dev_token_manager --user_shell=dev_user_shell \ --user_shell_args=--root_module=/system/test/modular_tests/parent_module \ --story_shell=dev_story_shell
or even more generally:
device_runner --account_provider=dev_token_manager --user_shell=dev_user_shell \ --user_shell_args=--root_module=file:///system/test/modular_tests/parent_module \ --story_shell=dev_story_shell
