Android Monkey: "No activities found to run, monkey aborted"
android, android-monkey
Solution
OK! I figured this out. The error that is shown is indeed correct:
** No activities found to run, monkey aborted
This means that the package name I was using was incorrect. I stared and stared and stared, and finally my colleague mentioned that our build system changes the name of the package before pushing it to the device
So, if you are getting this error, make sure you actually know what the name of your package is.
So, the final command that worked was this:
$ adb shell monkey -p com.mywebsite.banana.newname -v 5
By the way, correct output from this monkey command looks like this:
:Monkey: seed=1418671144561 count=5
:AllowPackage: com.mywebsite.banana.newname
:IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
:IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.MONKEY

One final note: I did NOT need to add `android.intent.category.MONKEY` to my AndroidManifest.xml file!
Problem
My package is named com.mywebsite.banana. - I want to have a seed, so the test is repeatable: -s 13 - I want to have a fairly low-level of verbosity: -v - I want to run 500 psuedo-random commands: 500 I'm calling monkey like this: ``` adb shell monkey -s 13 -p com.mywebsite.banana -v 500 ``` My output: ``` :Monkey: seed=13 count=500 :IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.LAUNCHER :IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.MONKEY No activities found to run, monkey aborted ``` My AndroidManifest.xml has this in it: ``` <categoy android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/> ``` What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to add to my app before running the monkey? The main activity is located in com.mywebsite.banana - is that the correct path to be passed in, or should it go all the way to the activity like this: com.mywebsite.banana.activityName? From what I've read, it seems as though I'm doing this correctly: - http://dnlkntt.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/how-to-stress-test-your-android-app-with-monkey/ - http://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_testing.htm - http://hariniachala.blogspot.com/2011/09/android-application-ui-testing-with.html Edit Attempt 1: ``` adb shell monkey -p com.mywebsite.banana -c intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER -v 500 ``` Result 1: ``` :Monkey: seed=13 count=500 :AllowPackage: com.mywebsite.banana :IncludeCategory: intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER // Warning: no activities found for category intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER ** No activities found to run, monkey aborted ``` Attempt 2: ``` adb shell monkey -p com.mywebsite.banana -c android.intent.category.MONKEY -v 500 ``` Result 2: ``` :Monkey: seed=13 count=500 :AllowPackage: com.mywebsite.banana :IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.MONKEY No activities found to run, monkey aborted ``` Attempt 3: ``` adb shell monkey -p com.mywebsite.banana -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -c android.intent.category.MONKEY -v 500 ``` Result 3: ``` :Monkey: seed=13 count=500 :AllowPackage: com.mywebsite.banana :IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.LAUNCHER :IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.MONKEY No activities found to run, monkey aborted ``` Some of the manifest: ``` <activity android:name="com.mywebsite.banana.FRCActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> <intent-filter> <action android:name="none" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/> </intent-filter> </activity> ``` Also tried this version of the manifest, with no change: ``` <activity android:name="com.mywebsite.banana.FRCActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/> </intent-filter> </activity> ```
