Docker support
Change these values only if you are hosting the Quamotion WebDriver in a Docker container.
These settings influence how the Quamotion WebDriver communicates with adb (the Android Debug Bridge) and usbmuxd (the iOS USB multiplexer). These services act as gateways which allow the Quamotion WebDriver to interact with these devices.
By default, the Quamotion WebDriver will attempt to launch adb and usbmuxd. If you run one or more instances of the Quamotion WebDriver in a Docker container, you may want these instances to connect to a single instance of adb and usbmuxd which runs on your host. These settings allow you to do so.
| Setting | Description | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|
disableDeviceDaemons |
A value indicating whether the WebDriver is prevented from launching the device daemons, and should connect to the device daemons over TCP only. | false | |
adbHost |
The name of the host running adb. | “127.0.0.1” | |
usbMuxerHost |
The name of the host running usbmuxd | “127.0.0.1” |
Timeouts
There are a couple of built-int timeouts which determine how long the Quamotion WebDriver will wait for an device to respond to certain commands. You may want to change these values if you find your devices are slower than expected.
| Setting | Description | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|
xcuiTestPlanTimeout |
The timeout of a Xcode UI Test test plan to start on an iOS device, in seconds. | 40 | |
deviceConnectTimeout |
The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a device to connect to the PC (usually after a reboot). | 180 | |
deviceDisconnectTimeout |
The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a device to disconnect from the PC (usually after a reboot has been triggered). | 60 |
Screenshot Feed and Remote control
The Quamotion WebDriver comes with a built-in VNC server, which allows you to connect to iOS and Android devices using a standard VNC client, and control these devices remotely. This VNC server is disabled by default. You can choose to enable the VNC server by changing these settings.
| Setting | Description | Default | |

vncServerEnabled |
