Poor Man's VPN

Create an AWS EC2 Linux Instance

1. Sign into your AWS account console
2. Choose an availability zone not in your area (like Oregon or something)
3. Launch a new instance (just choose an Ubuntu instance). A t2.micro should be fine for this.
4. You may have to create a new key pair if you haven't already. Name it and the download the file. Do not lose this as this <whatever>.pem file is what you'll use to access the instance.

SSH Tunnel Into It

Now that you have an EC2 instance running in some other area of the country, you will want to SSH tunnel into

Codemash 2014 Pre-Compiler

Automating Windows Applications with Ruby

Abstract

When we think of writing automated tests with ruby and cucumber, Windows desktop applications are not the first thing that come to mind. If you have looked into writing acceptance tests for Windows applications (native, WinForms or WPF), chances are you have come across solutions such as SpecFlow or Raconteur, but what are the options if we want to drive our tests from ruby using cucumber or RSpec?

This pre-compiler session will take you through building an acceptance test suite using some ruby gems (mohawk, RAutomation and cucumber) that tap into the Microsoft UI Automation accessibility framework to automate native, WinForms and WPF applications.

Ruby on Windows Setup

Here are a few things you'll need to get ruby setup on your Windows machine.

Ruby Setup

Ruby 1.9.3 will work. Use the defaults, but choose to add all of the ruby executables to your path.

DevKit

DevKit is needed for ruby to be able to install native gems (compiled C++ code) to your system. Extract this into something like c:\DevKit and then run the following commands.

Update

The brazenhead project had the android.support.v4.jar within its libs folder, even though it was not using it. This conflicted with the android.suppor.v4 that the app it was instrumenting was using. Removing this file fixed my issue.

Problem

The way brazenhead is able to instrument any apk for testing models this Robotium Wiki Page. Basically, you need these things to blackbox text any apk:

• Test apk is signed with the same keystore as the apk you are testing
• The targetPackage property is the same as the package of the apk that you are testing

That's pretty much it. Then, to launch any activity, you basically do what that article describes:
