Simulator is not started about scan HOT 16 CLOSED

@yakimant mostly likely you have a slow machine. are your running on a CI box or manually from command line ?

@KrauseFx in xctest that was tackled by retrying the execution of tests if such a message would appear.

from scan.

It was on my laptop. I cant increase timeout to be sure.
But even can't see the simulator window opening.

Also - We had such case on CI with plain xcodebuild and fixed it with simulator running
We also have some projects not failing with this issue. It must be some xcodebuild error.

from scan.

@yakimant have you checked the xcodebuild log ? ~/Library/Logs/scan

from scan.

Hmm, it suddenly disappeared. Will play around and post here the updates.

from scan.

Ok, I'm getting this issue even with -destination-timeout 500.
From log I can't see anything suspicious.

from scan.

-destination-timeout is for real devices, it doesn't help when using simulators

from scan.

Anyway, it didn't help, so I'm starting the simulator manually as before:
Process.fork { system "xcrun instruments -t 'Blank' -l 1 -w '#{options[:device] } (#{options[:os]})'" }
And killing afterwards:
killall "Simulator"

from scan.

Should this be closed?
I can think of two ways of fix:

1. add scan parameter to run/stop simulator explicitly
2. add run/stop simulator actions

from scan.

I am seeing the same issue. Runs fine on my local machine but not on my CI server which is a reasonably powerful Mac Mini. It works sometimes but more often than not the build fails waiting on the simulator.

In my case the simulator is launched (possibly from a previous build), so it is at least launching the simulator.

from scan.

Runs fine on my CI server, when I run it myself, but fails when jenkins on the same machine tries to run scan as part of a lane. (getting the 120 second timeout error)

from scan.

+1. Good on local. Fails on CI running on a VM (Bitrise).

from scan.

Any update or workaround for this issue?

from scan.

My workaround is to test using xctool as opposed to scan.

from scan.

Anyone able to verify if this is fixed in 7.2.1:

Command line tool 'xcodebuild test' will no longer time out waiting for Simulator.app to launch

from scan.

I am still seeing the same issue on the CI server after upgrading to 7.2.1.

iPhoneSimulator: Timed out waiting 120 seconds for simulator to boot, current state is 1.
